thanks for the wonderful response 2 my replies, apologies for my language dialect and shoretehand teenage expression i have never considered 2 belong 2 any nation race or creed! big bird is a reference 2 a plane from an afro-american-cajun blues & soul recording from stax. i really would not like 2 say how or why first nation beliefs have altered or whether you are actually original practising medicine beings, university graduates that have some interest, or any of us can achieve what this group site sets out 2 achieve, i am sorry to hear that now there is confusion on the reservation, with alteration 2 the ways of life that have occured with colonialism. like most of us, I have always felt that we have NO CULTURE and what remains is fiction, what has been absorbed by different faiths from original culture is dilluted and most forgotten and missunderstood. if you have dialect problems we can not achieve our objectives!
