BLOOD MEMORY…IT’S IN THE BLOOD It is a fact that people carry within their bodies the DNA or genetic composition of their ancestors. This genetic composition affects our physical attributes and features. Comments like you have your mother’s eyes, or you and your dad have the same nose are evidence of the inheritance of our family’s genes. |

A PICTURE TO CONSIDER I recently discovered a picture that highlights the communion between Native Americans. The picture demonstrates the relationships that led to our Black Red Roots ancestry. The picture shows dress, living arrangements, and sharing in common. View it and send me your thoughts about the picture. |

CENSUS 2010 The 2010 Census provides an opportunity to document your Native American ancestry. It is critical that all Native Americans self-identify as “Native Americans” or “Native Americans in combination with One or More races” when completing their 2010 Census questionnaires! The Census is the single most important event in America that drives all “Federal Formula” and “Need Based” funding decisions for the next ten year Period. It guides charitable services and grant programs to meet the needs of Mixed Blood Indians that are not enrolled in Federal Recognized Tribes. So, be sure to mark your Census, “Native American” or “Native American in combination with One or More races”. |

Once exposed to Black and Indian or African American and Native American ancestry many people come to a conclusion that a choice must be made to cling to one and submerge the other. This need to choose is even recommended by some elders. It is a way of keeping a clear racial, cultural, and ethnic delineation. |

Happy New Year in 2011! A New Year is here again. Didn't 2010 go fast. It is almost a blur. In 2011, we must learn to live slower and enjoy all that God has provided for our enjoyment. We can get in the habit of rushing through life. Why do we do this? I belive it is because we are trying to do more and more in less and less time. What is the hurry? Is it a sign of losing patience with ourselves and others? Or are we being driven harder and harder by technology. Look up while you are walking don't follow your "berry" phones as you walk and text not enjoying the scenary. When you look down all the time, you miss out on so much of the beauty found in nature and in life. Be hopeful in 2011, but also have some joy in your life. May Peace keep you and Love abound! Black Red Roots forever... |
