I love the moral of this story. Your a excellent story teller. I’m 1/2 Cherokee. I’m preparing to go to go to Tahlequah, Oklahoma. My best friend lives next to the Cherokee Heritage center. I’ll be there a month or so. She’s also Cherokee. So we always visit the Cherokee Village & Museam. I love all that. Your story was a pleasure.🔥

@@WildindianTv ever heard of the term 'mixed'? It doesn't matter how this person looks native is native. Colorism isn't cool especially when we have enough in this world to worry about. Use your energy elsewhere rather than determining who a person is based on looks. Do you know there lineage/life? No? Then it's not your business to state who they are. Almost like people are ignorant over the fact that families relocated to escape racism and genocide/got stolen from their tribe🤦♀️

I am greatful you share your stories. I love listening with our children. This one in particular I listed to in times of trial. As I feel such peace and resonance. I myself scream I am not going back its too scary before 😅 yet I find a way even through some burns. And most of all I feel our ancestors in your voice. Your words. And that brings me the most peace of all. Even the smallest of persons in my family. My greatest thanks

I love how He tells the story really enjoyed it even if I am sensitive I got my own different message in the middle of it and I thought if ever will have children need share it with them but reaching the end of the story that is such a great example how do we really need to watch out because it is so true in the real life experience I wish I had someone near to stop me from my limitless empathy for all human beings who literally love to just take it all and sometimes even leaving you with no more energy to protect your health body spirit and mind so be aware of it ! At the same time watching and feeling people in need we often have no choice and there is always that risk and that price for it all I am not Cherokee but since I was little I felt strong connection and importance of knowing more about different cultures and people that feels just good 😊 in modern life I don't find any answer to life I actually tap into who I was when I was little child and using these all experience s and teaching from everyday of life into the now 💜💗🌝🌚🌸thank you for sharing the story it's good because you need to imagine it which brings back the time when I was small and listened to stories imagining them ;) and that word is so full of new discoveries
