yep, I am part of the wannabee tribe. My Mohawk friends are always telling me that if they run into another Cherokee princess they will hurl! :) As they tell it - there are more women in the US claiming to be Cherokee princesses than were even in the tribe -

In the skin way though, they like it just the same for out of town - off rez trips ...saying only, have I got a feather that I would like to show you baby -

Akwesasne was great - the Feds showed up every year and tried to register people to vote - sovereignty was so strong that the last time a member voted for the corn breads was in the 50's. The tribe surrounded the house - took it apart brick by brick and walked each piece to white mans land- member banned for life.

You ain't seen nothin' till you see an electric utility pole coming down on the interstate with the aid of a chain saw- those were the days of miracle and wonder.

Peace - And use your Big Bija Wisely!

*When the Hurons were killed by the Catholics small pox spreaders - Mohawks - The warriors of the confederacy travelled from the Ohio valley to Atlantic Canada - crucified those clowns and ate those callous catholic hearts. yum...good

*Sunk a coast guard vessel in '90 with a rocket launcher.

*Shot down a National Guard helicopter with a ground to air missile for encroaching on Mohawk Nation Air space in '91 - no one was ever tried because they are a nation within a nation.
