Dear Deb,

 

Thanks for posting this.  I really enjoyed the palmistry article about Hillary.

I read palms, too.

Hot here, Sweat City!  Hot out there?

Wow, is it ever!! Hot as blazes here over 110 every day.

 

But we do have a swimming pool, the problem of course is that I never learned to swim

Believe it or not Lili, I've never been to upstate New York where my mother was born, (on an Indian Reservation) up there, but in October, we've decided to visit my daughter in PA. (your old town)

and drive up to Niagara Falls while there, as we've never even seen the Falls.

 

Should be a nice trip with the changing of the leaves (the fall colors) I hope, and hopefully little rain to mar the trip.

 

 

Which tribe was she a member of, Deb?  I have studied about the Iroquois,

the Six Nations, and all.  Mohawk, Onandaga, Oneida, can't remember them

all.  But they had a constitution, I have read, after which the US Constitution

was modeled.  So then you are half Indian, I guess.

Actually I think  I would be 1/4th. 

 

My mother's mother was Canadian French

My mother's father was full blooded Indian of the Amalecete tribe, (Iroquis nation)  sometimes also referred to as "Malacete"

 

My father's ancestors were Irish  and what he termed

Pa. Dutch which I think is German

 

 

 

 

My maternal  great grandmother was of the Malacete which is also

Alquonquin:

 

and maternal  great grandfather of the  Huron

 

 

 

 

one of them was also,  part Anenaki: (from Maine & Quebec)

 

 the Old Canada Road, a National Scenic Byway, which runs along US Route 201 for a scant 78 miles in northwestern Maine. Starting at Lakewood, it ploughs northwest to the Canadian Border at Sandy Bay, through gorgeous forests and along the Kennebec River, following the river trading routes of the Abenaki Tribe and the path followed by Benedict Arnold, when he was on our side and led soldiers up the river to lay siege to the French settlement at Québec. The area is now mostly working forest, but villagers and country people alike concentrate on helping visitors play, with outdoor adventure the two key words. The area is so remote that it's not even mentioned in standard guidebooks.

That is interesting, Deb, about the tribes.  So many of them have died out, I think,

and no longer exist as full bloods anywhere.  Could be wrong.  I don't really know.

Too many Indians were killed off.  There are some tribes out west on reservations that still

exist, and I say exist, because that is not really living, the poverty they endure.
