November is Native American Month
Already missed Native American Day so before the month is done, I’d like to honor my heritage.
My personal Native American hero is Sitting Bull. Even today, I think some of his words speak the truth, as in his famous quote about the people who were conquering his:
This nation is like a spring freshet; it overruns its banks and destroys all who are in its path”.
Sitting Bull
He said much more about the war with America, his people and the people who were to come. You can find many Sitting Bull quotes that are relevant today here.
I believe that I am 1/16th, or possibly 1/8th, Yankton Lakota Sioux. My heritage has been clouded by years of misinformation but I am hopeful with new DNA technology and patience I can find my real roots.
This also serves as an example of a post concepted of a need to share some quotes that kind of blew me away when I read them :)
