Ya Ta Say, Lois!

I, too, would like to welcome you to our campfire. It is so nice to have you join our little group. Please feel free to post any stories, poems, or anything at all.

Over the summer the campfire grew dim. Phyllis and I are hoping that with the weather beginning to cool more will join
and add sticks to the fire.

So, I would like to pass the 'talking stick' to you.

Thank you for your welcome Kimikaya. I will get out my collection of stories and share them with y'all. (yes I am from the south although I live in Utah now) LOL

Ya Ta Say Le Mita Cola,

I came across a paragraph that I would like to share with you...
one to make you Think.


My life is run by choices and decisions. Every choice I make today will carry with it the consequences of that choice. Every decision I make today will carry with it the consequences of that decision. The question I will ask myself today is, "Do I want to be happy or do I want to be right?" Which ever one I choose will have a lot to do with the consequences I will experience today. If today was the last day of my life, what choices and what decisions would I make?

I wonder: Can you not be happy and right?

Until next time...

Hi everyone. I'm hoping this site can guide me in the right direction. We have been working together to help my son discover his heritage. We found that he is taino. Since he was not born on a reservation, how do I go about getting him registered? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome Lois, So glad you enjoying it.

Hope to catch you often! I am Nicola Jane the English Culture Editor, Now it's getting cold I could do with a camp fire! Over here I guess central heating will have to do .............LOL!

It is so wonderful to have new members visit and share at the campfire and to have old friends return. Thank you - Wado! - and welcome to all!

Can you recommend any good Native American writers of fiction.
I just read the first Barnaby Skye book by Richard Wheeler. I don't know if Wheeler is Native American but he writes a lot of Westerns.
Thanks

My newest and favorite author is Sandi Ault. Her books, Wild Indigo and Wild Inferno are centered around the Puebloan Peoples with fascinating characters like Jamaica Wild and her wolf, Mountain and mysteries to solve. Very good reading! Her new book in the series, Wild Sorrow, should be coming out soon.
