I am of mixed blood with Blackfoot, Oneida, Cherokee, English and Irish. As a young boy my half Cherokee Grandmother used to walk me to Church on Sundays where I was Baptized at the age of twelve, having already began feeling a connection with something unseen and much greater and wonderful than ourselves.

Looking back, I am very grateful for her placing my feet on my own spiritual path, where my guides could lead me on journeys that would teach me many understandings of myself and the Creation, and where I gained experiences well beyond normal comprehension.

Thank you Grandmother.

Interesting.

When I was a boy, we lived on land that the Oneida Indians would come each year and reside on for a period of time.
