About Me

Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Wolf man

Born and raised in Montana and my second home is Japan. Presently working as a Detective for Security Forces and wish to continue my career in Law Enforcement. Love my work! I started looking into my family history and learning much about my ancestory. My ancestors come from the Red River Metis (Anashinabe), migrated to North Dakota (Pembina and into Turtle Mountain). Part of the first 25 families into Montana with Little Shell. Now I think I have a better understanding of why I like the sound of the Native American Flutes and the beat of the Drums as well as the Scottish Bagpipes. What a mix.

My Interests

Anything to do with the outdoors, Native American history, ceremonies or other traditional teachings, and naturally Pow-wows. I also enjoy animals of any type, the wind, the rain, the stars, and snow. I enjoy the power and energy of a Pow-wow, the country, and a quiet beach.

I love this one.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone interesting. Hate negative people. Often there is no reason for it. Seeking Native American Spiritual Leaders and Elders.

Music:

I thought there were only two kinds of music, Country & Western. Then I found Pow-wow music, Gourd (Kiowa), and Peyote Songs. I do not care for rap or heavy metal.

Movies:

A good action film, Native Amreican teachings, sci-fi or horror. I loved Dream Keeper and The Sundance Way.

Television:

Fox News, Hannity & Combs, CSI, Law and Order, X-files, actually to many to list when I do watch.

Books:

Wow, where to start. Black Elk Speaks and many more that speak of Black Elk and his son. Traditional Native American Books that talk of the traditions and ceremonies. Anything written by Shawn Hannity, Ann Coultier, and of course Tammy Bruce.

Heroes:

My mother and father.
