Yeah! That's the ticket...I wouldn't mind having her in the family tree if I just looked like her, too! LOL!

My husband's father's mother was a Shoshone Indian, freema.
I assume she was a young child when the tribes were forced to flee the Rockies, and her family settled in Canada above Michigan.

She married a Michigan man who farmed, and they had 13 children; B's grandfather in the middle of them.
His father, though, died when Noah was 13.
The sons each inherited rich farmlands, and prospered, although Noah left to live in Dayton, Ohio after marrying B's mother..

My husband was the last of their 8 children, and his Dad (Noah) taught him as a child the Eagle and other ceremonial dances.

We have been to several gatherings of tribes in Florida and in North Carolina....I could listen to the drums and watch the dancers for hours!

I'm so glad you found the link to the beautiful slide show.
I was about to direct you to it.

Boy, did I ever get wound up trying hard to state the relationships!

"She married a Michigan man who farmed, and they had 13 children; B's grandfather in the middle of them." should have read B's FATHER..:)

Now, why are you all making me cry?? : )

I found MEG's Indians (and felt safe and comfy and protected remembering with LadyX) then, the bluebonnets began to bloom all over the page : ) and here I sit, blowing my nose...wiping tears away again, so thankful for the many beautiful things in life.

Remember, Lady, coming off Mt. Rushmore, imagining yourself a Sioux warrior? So many of your memories prompt a similar one of mine - it's weird. When Hubby finished his hitch, and we were settled back into civilian life, before kids, we took a little trip thru Texas in the spring. I'd grown up reading my Dad's westerns, and watching Western movies with him, this trip was very special. We found a little campground run by an old man and woman. The old man took me on horseback up into the hill country. It was a girlhood dream come true. He let me run my horse wide open across the hills, flying with the wind. For that moment in time I was a cross between an Indian princess and a frontier cowgirl : ) It was one of the most memorable moments of my life, to be 'all grown up' and yet, be allowed to slip back into that world of make-believe of girlhood -only, part of the dream was real. We saw miles of meadows of bluebonnets during that trip. Just amazingly beautiful, it was.

Awesome, Meg! You have such a way with colors - you framed my bluebonnets and Indian paintbrushes picture perfectly!!!

Thank you, freema - your post #389 was so sweet. Meg's been doing these beautiful spring flower pictures for a few weeks now, and each one is breathtaking!

Thank you, .30Carbine, I am glad to know you think so. Could spend all my time online playing with pictures and thinking of new ways to vignette them. :)
