Here is a picture taken of my husband and myself the Blackfeet Indian Days pow-wow in July of this year. In the picture, I’m wearing the Women’s Fancy Dance regalia. I look forward to talking to you tomorrow, so come and join me for a discussion of this, or any other topic of your choice, as well as a Q & A of pow-wow’s.
Cover art for RED HAWK’S WOMAN
I love the cover art for Red Hawk’s Woman! Very very nice! Hugs, Crystal
HI!
Thanks so much Crystal!
Hi, Kay, this is marvelous. I would like to hear more about the Fancy Dancing and I would like to know what Indian Fry Bread is and maybe you can write a recipe:-)
Love and hugs

Hi, Kay, I thought you were still in Florida, but hey, the magic of computers:-) Since you asked, I could absolutely drool over the White Eagle’s Touch cover, but my next favorite is definitely Red Hawk’s Woman. Keep them coming. Gives me the shivers in 90 degree heat.
Hugs,
Heide
Hi, Kay, I doubt that any of us don’t think that their pet or pets are so most precious things on earth. Dogs are definitely the only creatures who give unconditional love. Hey,cat lovers, I love them, too, but where dogs have masters, cat have staff and don’t you forget it. I have a lovely photo of my English Springer Spaniel Bibi on my website. http://heidekatros.com and she is the most docile animal I have ever met. She doesn’t bark, except very rarely, like once in a blue moon. She eats as if she were a tiny dog and even a stranger can take something out of her mouth. She understands what we are talking about. It’s amazing. I love all animals, and even though I hate snakes, I walked one across the road once so it wouldn’t get run over LOL and I rescued an injured rat that was lying on the road. If a cat got it later that is life, but I couldn’t stand the thought of it just sitting there until a car ran over it. Maybe you think I am silly, but I consider animals as best friends:-)
Take care

Hi, Kay, thanks for all the info about shamans and medicine men. I have the highest respect for the Indian tribes and even today they are still a beautiful people. Unfortunately, the white man had to have a hand in too many races. I refer to the Hawaiian people, who like the Indians were healthy and without a great deal of illness until the well meaning missionaries brought them a slew of diseases. And all out ancestors had to use their wits and what they had at hand to survive. Of course, you can’t go back. BTW corn is the hardest to digest of all vegetables, at least the way it is sold today. I know this first hand. I suffered greatly, when I ate some recently.
Oh, and that cover of The Last Warrior is gorgeous. I hope it sells well when it comes out in March of this year.
Take care
Love

Hi, Kay, I have long been enarmored with the Native American culture. Of course, some goes back to my childhood, triggered by Hollywoods portrayal of the Indian nations. But I guess with the movie “The Last Mohican” they did hit the nail on the head and showed that the Indian people were just that — PEOPLE. It showed them as caring, intelligent individuals with pride and integrity and great wisdom. Unfortunately, in life there is always another power which in the end proves greater than the one who has achieved a peace among themselves. You don’t need to look very far or far back. The Mayans were eventually usurped, because they, too, were great statesmen. And even among honest men, there will be those who will betray their own for the love of money or power. Benedict Arnold. It’s gotten worse in the past several decades. People want “things” at any cost. And no we do not have the freedom we had 50 years ago. We have become soft on crime and criminals become bolder, because lawyers take up for them. Gosh, I could go on, but I’ll defer this soapbox to someone else now. And I find it reprehensible that people have to give up their land and homes against their will or for the sake of progress.
Take care
Love
Heide
