Cherokee, North Carolina

Cherokee, North Carolina

We are in Cherokee this weekend and having a wonderful time.  We went to the Festival of Native Peoples and it wasn't quite as good as last year.  The Apache Crown dancers and the Alaskan dancers were not there this time .  The best part, however, was seeing Alan Mose Jr. !  We also got to see many other friends such as Tommy Wildcat, Miss Lola, Rex Begae and Eddy Two Clouds.  We got to visit with Mama Elsie of the Wolf Clan and everyone went out to dinner together after the festival.  We are going to visit Bearmeats today, I think they are one of the best shops in Cherokee, they are located out on Soco road (19) on the east side of town heading towards Maggie Valley.  If you ever get out that way, you gotta stop in and see their wonderful shop! 

Next we are heading to Bland, Virginia and then Farmville, Virginia.  Looking forward to seeing some friends there.  Hope all is well.

Much Love and many Prayers,

Online in Winston-Salem

Online in Winston-Salem, North Carolina

 

as we had stopped over in Commerce, GA - I had updated some windows microcrap files - the last 2 security updates, unbeknownst to me, were defective to have on my laptop - I could not figure out why it showed that I was online and yet nothing would navigate (either wifi or my verizon access) - just pass it along - that if someone you know is having difficulties getting online - on the laptop - to delete the last 2 security updates ending in the numbers 951978 and 951748 (start>control panel>add/remove software> click updates 'check' box)

 

Anyways, just passing that on, and a little note to say We are thinking of Y'all in our travels on the pow wow trail.  Looking forward to seeing some of yas out there on the trail possibly.  We will try and get some pictures and/or video to post on the Multiply site.  The preserve we are in, here in Advance, NC (outside of Winston-Salem ) is Very nice and Woodsy :)  The temperature has been much more pleasant than July in Florida THAT is for Sure!!! 

 

Travel Well,

Much Love and many prayers,

Heading for North Carolina Pow Wows

Heading for North Carolina Pow Wows

We are loading up after a good rest in Dothan, Alabama.  We will be heading to Winston-Salem, North Carolina for pow wow.  Looks like we will be meeting our favorite herb people, 'Peace Eagle Herbs' out there.  They will be at the next 2 pow wows that we will be set up at, so if anyone has any herb needs or questions, please let me know. 

I will try to get more pictures and video than I did the last time.  Please pray for our travels, it is getting tougher to get from point A to point B with these gas prices.  But we must do what we must do, this is our only source of income and is apparently our path from here on in.

Much Love and many prayers to everyone,

From the Trail...

From the Trail...

We are in Walnut Grove, Georgia at pow wow. It has been a very nice pow wow, we are on an organic farm and they have fed us very well!! Was really great to see my Lakota brother Tatankala again, and some other familiar faces. They had a flag retirement ceremony last night, I had never seen that before.
One of the last pow wows we did in Florida, I had heard about them bringing the Grandmothers back, to start the pow wow. Well, so far at every pow wow we have done outside Florida, they have started out with a Woman's Power Circle. They play an honor song and the women cleanse the circle before the grand entry begins. It was very awesome!! And I was very honored to be asked by the head woman to participate.
Well, that's it from the trail for now.
Much Love and many prayers,

Crossing of Mary Lara

I received this info from Carla of the Family Drum Singers today:

 

I regret to inform you all that Mary Lara, Ernies wife, passed away yesterday.  She and Ernie were in a car accident on Friday, and she had some injuries that she could not overcome.  Ernie is doing ok.  He suffered some cuts and bruises, but his most severe injury is his broken heart.  Please keep him and the family in your prayers!!!  My sister Caren or I will pass on any information about any services as soon as we get them!

 

Carla

 

PS for those of you who may not know Ernie.....he is one of our singers.....an Apache elder.
