First People of America Website
I have been busy workig on getting my Bison and Hummingbird ebooks ready for my month-long promotion/charity/prize event that starts on October 1st. These books I had actually researched and written a few years ago. So in order to turn them from a print manuscript into ebook form, I had do the layout and verify that all of my links were still working and I had to find pictures. Well, I hit a real treasure trove when I ran across the First People website. Not only did I find all of the Bison photos I needed (and they were fine with me using them), but there is so much information on this website, that I have spent some time perusing!
I have an intersting heritage. On my father's side I get German and Native American. On my mother's side, I get English, Irish, and Scottish. The Native American heritage has always been what has fascinated me the most(perhaps because so many in my dad's family have the Native American look about them - my great grandmother was a full-blooded Indian). At any rate, any time I see a chance to learn more about Native Americans, I take it.
Whether you just have an interest or you are teaching your children about Native Americans, you are going to love this website! There are quotes, legends, photos, artwork, news articles, treaty information, poems, prayers, and much, much more!
All over the world the faces
of living ones are alike.
With tenderness they have
come up out of the ground.
Look upon your children
that they may face the winds
And walk the good road to the Day of Quiet.
Grandfather Great Spirit
Fill us with the Light.
Give us the strength to understand,
And the eyes to see.
Teach us to walk the soft Earth
as relatives to all that live.
