   Dear Journal,I did not talk about this in the previous post because I was too caught up in all my misery, due to what a friend had said. However, I will tell you now. You see, last night, I finally went to get my birthday present. We went to an American Indian store, where I got the drum I had wanted, and a necklace and some earings. But that was not what was so interesting. Appearently, the man in the store is about a quarter American Indian, and he told us quite a bit about their history. This made the experience very enriching! He also suggested that the reason I feel so connected to the culture is that I may have a little bit of American Indian blood in me. He said that alot of American Indians did not say that they were American Indians, and said that they were French, due to the fact that people in the U.S. were trying to exterminate them, a terrible, yet true fact. I do have some French blood in me. But my parents do not believe that we have any American Indian blood in the family. I still do not know. I am open to the possibility. Of course, the only real way to know, is to get some DNA tests done----not like we have the money. :(Well, that's about it for now, Byes!Love,-WeepingTree |
