SpiritWindz

This web site is dedicated to the celebration of the Native American people.

Being of mixed race, I was born in Onondaga, NY to an Eastern Cherokee (Tsalagi) / Irish mother and a Greek / Italian / Mohawk father. Although I am proud of my complete heritage, I wish to pay particular honor and respect to my Native American heritage in the pages of this web site. This web site is also in honor of my Cherokee grandfather, who was a very talented and gifted man, but who tragically left this earth while still a young man. I never had the good fortune to meet him in person or to learn from him directly, but his artistic spirit lives within me. I dedicate this web site to him.

A PEOPLE WITHOUT A HISTORY

COMMENTARY:

Commentaries contained within the pages of this website are based on my own personal experiences. I wish to make it clear that I in no way claim to speak on behalf of a specific Indian Nation or for all American Indian people in general. Just as Native Americans are a very diverse people, so too are our individual experiences.

I hear the call Upon the wings of the winds

The Spirit Winds

They softly call my name As they summon me back home.

- Skye (1998)

When you come to the edge of all that you know, you must believe in one of two things : There will be earth to stand on, or you will be given wings to fly.

- Unknown

REMEMBER TO ALWAYS HONOR AND RESPECT OUR MOTHER EARTH

It is important to honor our beginnings, to remember that we matter and that we have a place in this world that no one else has.

(Hallmark - Proverb Inspired by Native American Indians)

NATIVE AMERICANS ARE NOT MASCOTS!
We are living, breathing HUMAN BEINGS.
Please show us the RESPECT that we deserve.
Thank You.

The more you ask how far you have to go,
the longer your journey seems.

(Seneca)

We will be known forever by the tracks we leave.

(Dakota)

Wisdom comes only when you stop looking for it
and start living the life the Creator intended for you.

(Hopi)

Guard your tongue in youth,
and in age you may mature a thought
that will be of service to your people.

(Sioux/Lakota)

Don't let yesterday use up too much of today.

(Cherokee)

What is past and cannot be prevented should not be grieved for.

(Pawnee)

The soul would have no rainbow if the eyes had no tears.

(Minquass)

Our first teacher is our own heart.

(Cheyenne)

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN...
MAY THE GREAT SPIRIT MAKE SUNRISE IN YOUR HEART
AND MAY YOUR MOCCASINS MAKE TRACKS IN MANY SNOWS YET TO COME.

(Indian Farewell, Tribe Unknown)
