Month: February 2020

I’ve wondered how we can tell these days who or what an Indian is?  we live in a nation that needs to categorize things. nationalities are no different and what do we use to brand ourselves? indigenous, native, first nation, first people or maybe just NDN?    What were we called before? do other fellow tribes or people know? how much have we lost over time and this thing called civilization and advancement of knowledge? just thinking about things. how about you?

and rainy but dry in the library..as i wrote the other day had a time getting back my site. lost so much time going from one department to the next. i’m easily frustrated with having to try to talk with a computer that tells me it can understand sentences. I really wanted to say do you also read smoke signals? but i didn’t and after many, many days got my site back online. i almost spoke to the computer in cherokee but it would probably just say “what i didn’t understand that!” would you repeat that as i can understand full sentences.. my next question would be are you related to that indian full of bull? but it didn’t happen just spoke english and asked to talk to a r eal person. i did and so here i am.. this leads me into what i hope will be a fun time and intersting topic for all to join in on as i look at at Two Worlds of The Mystic Indian and the Mystifiedndn. i hope you will come alongside and interact with me.

it’s been a while . well a year to be exact since my last post. computer blew a fuse and i lost all my passwords and had a time getting back online. times were you could just walk down to the store and get things straightened out. no so and as the title of this sit say i was one mystifiedndn! it took some doing but now have it back in hand. it is just like all indians as they try to navigate this world and all of its’ new gizmos. times we are left behind holding to our ways because it seems to make some brain dead from texting – not talking to each other – games not actual physical exercise- among other things. i hope to be online more as i try to share what old ndn’s go through.
