oh, boy.
this is the first time in 25 years that i refused to cut my hair.
i relate back to a thousand years with blood and honour.
me family got persecuted just twice in the last century, myself just twice in this century, and if i am right, we r still here.
i could teach my children in the old ways of knowledge, since i got them - quite abruptly to tell so - , which is a rare thing nowadays.
so it is still a good happenstance we live in, am i right?

“Creek”
The Creeks did not call themselves Creeks until Europeans began using that particular term to refer to their tribe. The Creeks had referred to themselves as 'Muskogee ’ or 'Ocmulgee '. Europeans began calling the people of the tribe ‘Creeks’ in the early 1700s and that became their name, although they were simply referring to the ‘Indians living on Ochese Creek’ near present-day Macon, Georgia.

Haven’t cut my hair for the last eleven years, since leaving a corporate job “in the city” of Houston.

Wow, those Europeans really are savages to make up names like that.
My ancestors are mostly European, but may have one or more who were a member of the Wendat tribe near the great lakes, which the french called “Huron” which means “Brutish.”
Have been to Muskogee, cool city that. Almost got a t-shirt there that read “I’m a real Okie from Muskogee!”
Good museum here by Tahlequah: https://cherokeeheritage.org/

My gramma left the Tlinget tribe at 4 to be raised by nuns in a Canadian convent whose stated intent was to “get the Indian out.”
But there it is.

One cannot erase DNA with a change of environment. Do gooders trying to do good can indeed do harm.

Interesting that so many here have that Indian gene, for me it’s Cherokee and possibly Choctaw.
Must admit,however, that my pioneer folks fought and killed Indians in Texas. Of course they were of the same tribes that fought and killed from same group of pioneers as well.
It is worth thinking about how that piece of American history might fit/relate to our current reality.

We are fighting and disagreeing with our ancestors embedded in our genes?
I don’t know. Maybe it has something to do with why they fought, or maybe with the make-up/mindset of Americans? Don’t know, but thought provoking, I’m thinking.
With our modern Diets, none of us would fit into our ancestor’s “Jeans”…

Perhaps “no outbreak” has to do with flu deaths disappearing to nothing with the upswing of “covid deaths”? Or the monetay reward for motorcycle accidental deaths by misnomering them as being caused by covid? .
I note people are claiming a 78% vaccine rate with no attention paid to all the vaccines compliant, overcharged governments have chucked. We may never know the real stats.
I know I was really sick and then I got well. My immunity is bulletproof.

I suppose that’s what happens when you sublimate the Instinct… Something I’ve never quite managed to do…thankfully…
Have no idea what that means.
