Native American – What it means to me~
I have finally got this blog set up the way I want it I want to explain what it is about? I’m not much on writing – one of those misfortunes that had to work at an early age plus support children instead of getting a proper education – did a lot of online schools and such – have always had a computer – I am the era of computers – I just love the internet!! One of MSN’s oldest members ~ I’m street smart thou – I’ve lived thru it all – it was a hard road but wouldn’t change a minute of my life – made me the person I am today – it made me who I am – and why I’m here~ Genealogy has become a passion – I JUST LOVE IT ! Abt 19 years ago my father asked only one thing of me -find our Native American roots~ To be who I am on this earth at this moment is amazing to me~It has humbled me~ My ancestors are the Native Americans of this United States of America – have proof of over 30,000+ years of existence living on these soils~ I’m coming from the Grand Sachems of the New England Indians – The Narragansett, The Mohegan, The Pequot blood runs thur my veins~ I’m not affiliated with any tribe – to become one of my own people….. Join a tribe…… I have to have my family be on some tribal Roll in the late 1800’s or a open tribal roll (which at this time they are all closed diffidently) I’ve had doors closed and emails sent back (with please don’t send again attached) Yet I’m Native American~ I’ve got 19 years of research, documents and proof to say I am~ I am proud to be Native American – and I have been chosen to tell their story~ Fortunately my Chagum Ancestors have been written about all thur the years starting at the beginning of immigration to this country. I’ve been able to piece their story together – book by book by record. I’ve not asked of anything from anyone- I’ve not taken one dime for this research – Spent thousands doing it thou – and will continue to do it I believe til my last days~ I only ask to record my journeys and to tell the story of my family – that is it~ With that I’m sharing with the world my experiences – On this blog~ This journey isn’t about money for me -this journey isn’t about how big the casinos are~ This journey is about my Ancestors and how I became -The blood that runs thur my veins~ I’ve got all my research book here – have tons and tons of more work to do on them – will always be an updating thing but the bases is done~ You can find all my videos of my trips here – along with all I’m doing in this research~ Searching Native American Roots is hard -many road blocks – but it can be done~ Native American means to me – family~ An Ever Widening Circle of family~ Coni
