nutusuwees durwood. nuwtomas ahqunahut napeeut. my name is durwood. i'm from aquinnah on the island of martha's vineyard. i'm learning my language and like to practice it when i can.
i am a singer, mostly of southern style powwow songs, but also can rock out eastern and northern style. i'm fascinated with song and the power of the voice. its my medicine and incredibly powerful and i enjoy talking with people who understand this. i sing in the shower and jam across the land! i’ve been making my own songs too and am reestablishing what will be a strong singing tradition for my people for years to come. i'm also a councilman for the aquinnah wampanoag tribe and work for the tribe as a grant writer and community planner. i carry the weight of my people on my back and have a vision of us becoming strong and like-minded again someday.
i don't like to use capitals unless i have to. :)
what more... i’m a tall, skinny, light skinned, baldheaded, beard-sporting ndn. i don’t think most people know quite what to make of me. i hang out with my family, cousins and other relations most of the time. we rock out and are celebrities wherever we go, or at least we try to carry ourselves that way (pretty much cause the girls are gorgeous). i’m not a snob or anything, i’m just kinda shy and am quiet as all hell 99% of the time, but am always observing and analyzing. maybe i’m thinking about how retarded everyone is around me, or even how cool folks are too, or maybe i’m just daydreaming about this or that, i don’t know. i think by choosing my words carefully, it’s more effective when i do speak. sometimes, though, i throw out all my reasoning and say fuck it, les go for it! i still have trouble finding the right words and have been writing a lot to understand myself better. i’m pretty good at seeing the big picture and like to philosophize on occasion. i like to watch people. i like to read on the can and am ever appreciative of my buddy mchizzy for educating me on the secrets of selecting good reading materialsTM. i probably say "badass, "NICE", and "ya know?" too much. i love to laugh and am best off watching comedy movies as i tend to crack up at inopportune times during serious flicks and will yell at the screen on occasion... i try to be humble, but also am vain and like to show off when i have the chance... i really dig chicks wearing big hoop earrings. yeah. big hoops are super HOTTT.
You Are Lightning
Beautiful yet dangerous
People will stop and watch you when you appear
Even though you're capable of random violence
You are best known for: your power
Your dominant state: performing
What Type of Weather Are You?
