Yet Native Americans pray,

Grant us love, not war,
So children can go out to play!"...

They play their home games
in the nation's capital.
The team has no name.

They were the "Redskins".
For Native Americans,
the team dropped their moniker.

capsized at forever gone lake
anywhere else they might have had a chance
native americans controlled this reservoir
they were never seen again
neither were their bones
or their hats...

Turquoise
A blue or green
Often black or gold veins
Mined from the southwest USA
Native Americans give reverence
Many magical properties
Hope, peace, and of course love
Beautiful stone

Native Americans were given such a dirty deal
Fought for the land that was theirs, how would you feel
My mind can't conceive
Of this horrible deed
Incomprehensible, unfathomable, totally unreal...

The church judged my abortion
now it is my turn
crusades killed thousands
for Jesus
then Native Americans were slaughtered
in the name of Jesus
all for the almighty

I, who cried for the death of one
as they rejoiced the death
of many


Dedicated to my sister, the kindest person I know....

Everyone is gathered here today
To feast 
Celebrate the Pilgrims
The Native Americans helped them out 
Of course the  story depends on which history books you read
 I would reccomend "Red, White and Black"
History is where it's at if you want perspective
My old history professer could read Chinese and Japanese
Good for him!...

Trees have a certain way of
making me wish that my ancestors never
stomped on the Native Americans' 
ground and took away 
its natural beauty

While I can't go back and
change American history
I can attempt to create peace
Between myself and nature
I can give myself a second chance
at understanding the way
life is meant to be...

         Bouncing off a trampoline
         Anton Dvorak fell on his head ~

             A ‘cancelled Czech’
             Poor Anton was dead



         Long ago, in the 1600’s
         Native Americans were not so financial...

             Sold Manhattan for 24 bucks
             A transaction they wish they could cancel

Paiute warrior horses cannot outrun wild quarter horses.
Spanish mustangs and Chickasaw ponies run past.
Taunting and daring native americans to try and corral them.

Paiute warriors admire the way brother horse runs.
He is outfoxing them, wise and wonderful in his wildness.
They turn back to their homeland, knowing they have been bested....

Willow Feather sent up the signal
expecting the Great Father to send the right help
Other native Americans saw, but many did not know his language
I wish my dad was still alive, he thought
He would get the message and come help
His father got the message
Implanted new ideas into the young brave's head
so he could save himself
and he did...

Some Native Americans it seems
believe that the air is filled
with good and bad dreams..
The legend states that when one sleeps,
a dream catcher will trap the bad ones that seep.
Place a dream catcher at the head of your bed
and trap the bad ones in it's web..
The good dream will pass thru it's center hole,
bring peace and comfort to the slumbering soul....

The still air is broken by a distant shout,
Watch out now Steven there's Red Indians about.

Your bright eyes widen in the sunny glow,
Quickly now Steven lets make you a bow.

Carefully through the trees we tramp,
Quitely now Steven there's the Indain camp.

But you are not scared, your chest is full of pride,
Now Daddy has made you a bow you don't have to hide....

Gigantic pylons of wind-carved granite
Form astonishing pillars of natural wonder
Sculptures to rival Borglum's finest faces
Perilously perched along the winding trail
Punctuating the Black Hills with awesome
Commas of towering mystical totems
Where once the proud Native Americans
Roamed with the buffalo in blessed peace

Spare a prayer for my fair Lady Spouse
Her last sigh was as shy as a mouse
She died in the snow
A moment ago 
Frozen numb coming from the outhouse*


*Many Native Americans live in homes without electricity, plumbing, or heating,  and Trump's shutdown of the BIA ( "Bossing Indians Around") prevented the sale of permits which allow Native Americans to collect firewood on their own land. ...

Take me to the hill
from which the rainbow rises
to pay ancestors’ tribute.
Share the memories
handed down by mighty chiefs,
warriors who loved the land.

Harmony once reigned
between their tribes and nature
until white men invaded.
Interstates now run
through our backyards -- urban sprawl.
Endangered is our future.

Based on painting by Bev Doolittle: Woodland Encounter

American West in Camouflage

Two Indians* hide, in the birch forest,
         and ride their pintos, hooves pitting the snow.

Conspicuous - red fox in clearing - sights
         quiet stride of hide and seek…trenchant ears

at peak performance in centralized cope
         …sentient sentinel highlights canvas.

I am not a geomancer
but I do sometimes read earth 
on a new grave,
how it struggles to represent
even though it’s thrown haphazardly;
yet still, let the wind, sun and rain
shape it and it becomes a tale told to a deaf man -
eyes go deeper.
Pity that we fill-in now, and do not raise 
that important mound
burials need height not depth,
the Native Americans knew this,
even the birds know this –
see how they dance on each other’s bones?...
