I do Cedar Feather Boxes, Leather work, Bead work, any kind of traditional NDN work, arts and crafts, beaded skulls and much more. I am interested in almost everything what opens up my horizon.http://www.picturetrail.com/tatankatakojasartI love Pow-wows, NDN music with a good drum beat and the outdoors. I am interested in our ways and beliefes, history and traditions.
I'd like to meet:
Everyone who comes with straight eyes and an open heart.
People who are honest and open. People who like to share.A GIFT FROM THE CREATOR
II asked the Creator to take away my pride
and the Creator said "No".
He said it was not for him to take away, but for me to give up.
I asked the Creator to make my handicapped child whole
and the Creator said"No".
He said her spirit is whole, her body is only temporary.
I asked the Creator to grant me patience
and the Creator said "No".
He said patience is a by-product of tribulations.
It is not granted, it is earned.
I asked the Creator to give me happiness
and the Creator said "No".
He said he gives me blessings, happiness is up to me.
I asked the Creator to spare me pain
and the Creator said "No".
He said suffering draws you apart from worldly cares
and brings you closer to Me.
I asked the Creator to make my spirit grow
and the Creator said "No".
He said I must grow on my own,
but he would prune me to make me fruitful
I asked the Creator for all things that I might enjoy life
and the Creator said "No".
He said I will give you life,
that you may enjoy all things.
I asked the Creator to help me LOVE others,
as much as he loves me
and Creator said,"Ah, finally you have the idea my child".
Music:
NDN music especially Pow-wow music and 49ers. Other than that, it depends on the mood I'm in. Well, actually every Native American Pride
Add to My Profile | More Videos kind, but not Hip Hop and Rap crap, nor Hate Rock.
Movies:
I am not so much in TV and movies, but I watch one when it's good, here and then. Hmmm...like what?
I watched movies like Son of the Morning Star, Gettysburg, Dances with Wolfes, Geronimo, Dance me outside, Dream Keeper, The day after tomorrow, Independance Day, Patriot and so on.
Television:
Just as a boring time killer.
Books:
In the moment I read Fools Crow and long ago I sucked up Black Elks books.
Heroes:
Wow, that would be a long list.
Mostly NDN, but even so Robert E. Lee, Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa, and so on. As well as the every days men and women who are trying to live their life's in a way that they may come to our Creator with straight eyes and clean hands."Peace... comes within the souls of men when they realize their relationship, their oneness, with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the Universe dwells Wakan-Tanka, and that this center is really everywhere, it is within each of us."~Black Elk (Hehaka Sapa) OGLALA SIOUX~JUST DO IT ANYWAY MY FRIEND
Some people are often unreasonable, illogical
and self-centered and hateful.
You just forgive them anyway.
If you are kind to people,
people may accuse you of being selfish,
having ulterior motives.
You be kind to people anyway.
If you are successful in your life,
you will win some false friends
and some true enemies.
You succeed in life anyway.
If you are honest with people,
people may try to cheat you.
You be honest with people anyway.
What you spend years building in your life,
someone could destroy overnight easy.
You just keep building it anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness and hope,
they may be very jealous of you.
You be happy and keep your serenity and your hope anyway.
The good you do today for some people,
people will often forget tomorrow the things you do.
You do good always for people anyway.
If you give the world the best you have always
and it may never be enough for them,
you give the world the best you have anyway.
You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and Creator.
It never was between you and them anyway.
Remember what you do in your life,
people may not ever like.
Remember the circle my friend.
What goes around comes around
ANYWAY.
