Pretty glum weather outside the window. It's raining all day. Don't want to ruin my new moccasins in the rain. But I'm sure that didn't stop my ancestors. Thanksgiving is coming near, about two weeks. In this modern day and age, it's hard to celebrate thanksgiving without knowing the gruesome history behind it. Many may not know this, but thanksgiving was out in place to celebrate unfortunate loss of innocent natives by the new settlers and US presidents. The video below will help explain the history. Be ready to grab a tissue or two, it's pretty sad.
Many natives celebrate Harvest Day. I'm not a religious person but a spiritual person. On the day of Turkey Day, I will say my silent prayers. Having celebrated Thanksgiving my whole life, I never realized the history behind it. There was a feast of thanks among the piligrims and the natives. But that was once.
This is me at a Native American Heritage Month Event at Fort Bragg, NC. I had nowhere to put my keys. haha! There's no matching purses for this outfit. Well not in my possesion. I will get my pendelton dream purse one day! Pendelton is a Navajo Girl's Prada!!! Gotta love our Style!!!
I hope you have gain much knowledge from my post. Remember Not all Natives live in TIPIS or hunt Buffalo! Nor all wear War Bonnets! Also we don't all wear feathers in our hair. We dont sit around and smoke Peace Pipes all day! I suggest you rent the documentary,"REEL INJUN". Injun is racial slur, so dont use it lightly.
Have a Good Day! DONT FORGET TO WEAR YOUR MOCCASINS!
