Aanii Aniish na? ( Hello How are you?)Ndishnikaaz Mizheekay Ikway (my name is Turtle Woman) I have niswi neejawnisug,Bezhik gwewinzenhs,& niishkwayzenhs (one boy & two girls)I have a lot of owayseug (animals).I am a Chippewa indian, I was born in the upper pennisula of Michigan, I belong to The Sault Ste. Marie tribe of the Chippewa indians. I am very proud of my heritage and enjoy talking to people about it. I enjoyed giving a speech at the school last year on native americans,I also put on a mini powwow at Badin Lake elementary school with a couple of friends. I brought all my artifacts to show them and explained what they were and how they were used. I think anytime we can educate our young people about our and their heritage we should. They miss out on so much by not knowing that.My totem is the wolf, & the Raven is my spirt guide, they have protected me my whole life.I want to learn everything I can about my tribe and native american people in general, after all we are the first true americans.I love to dance at powwows. I dance womans traditional, someday if my legs will allow it I would like to dance womans jingle.My regalia has the colors of my tribes flag on it, with turtles all over it, because of my name,Mizheekay Ikway (turtle woman) a friend of mine named Tabathia made it for me and I think she did a beautiful job, I am very proud of it. Eventually I would like to have white buckskin regalia, but that will be some time before I get it. I am the queen of The South Davidson Strutting Peacocks, which is a red hat group.Red hatters are a wonderful group of woman from all over the world. I drive a school bus and am a substitute teacher, I love all my kids, and I will do anything for them, I mentor two girls, One I have been mentoring for over seven years now and she has become like part of the family her name is Jennifer, she is a wonderful girl and she graduates this year and I am so very proud of her. The other one I just started mentoring, but she has rode my bus for years, her name is Lena, she is a very sweet girl that I know we will become very close, too. I do whatever I can to help the students at the school because they are our future and they all are wonderful.I am a artist, I love to paint murals, if you look at my photo album you will be able to see some of my murals, half of my house is done in murals and I love it, I am always coming up with something else to paint on my walls. I think it is very important to have a sence of humor and to be able to enjoy life. I have had a lot of people I love very much walk on into the spirit world, I miss them very much but I always carry them in my heart, and I know that someday when it is my turn to walk on we will all be together again. I love having a MYSPACE, I have met so many wonderful people here, I love animals of all kinds even snakes, I have a lot of animals too. I have a horse, goat, blind deer, 6 geese, 20 ducks,10 cats, 5 dogs, a parrot, a cocateil, 4 sugar glidders, and a prarie dog,I rescue turtles, I have had several 6ft. iguanas,and someday I hope to have a little capucian monkey.Well that will kinda give you an idea about me, if you have any questions just ask, I will be glad to answer you. I love you all and I enjoy you coming to visit and leaving me those wonderful comments.This was my Uncle his name was Chief Lone Wolf, He is the one that gave me my name before he took that step into the spirit world. His son's name is Walking Bear.
