Lost In America

All I wanted is to dig into deep layers of mystery
into my roots and heart core of my family tree
I should know my American heritage and my ancestry
I should know all about our past history 
so i can learn about me
the fabric of our land is destroyed by many foreign invaders
everything is about politic with separate and divide haters
I wonder why today I'm struggling in my own county
what is my purpose and what is my destiny?
does anyone care if I'm the original American bloodline of my family tree?
we lost our matrix, culture ,and identity

As most Americans lacked an education and were unable to pronounce simple Apache names, Chief Alchesay became A-1 in military and BIA records, i.e., names were replaced with tags, so best of luck tracing YOUR ancestors! Bud do check census returns for clues! Aloha! Rico
