I have a deep personal interest in any info concerning the Great Spirit and the Native American beliefs concerning the Great Spirit. It of course varied from tribe to tribe, and from culture to culture. Any info that anyone has on this will be greatly appreciated. Please email me at sawdcm@yahoo.com. Also, are you aware of the casino built on the Cherokee reservation in North Carolina? Another addiction for our people. Even the counsel of elders is not to be trusted. The Eastern Cherokee Language is now know by only 1000 members of this tribe, and NONE of them will agree to even consider teaching it. They do not trust Universities, etc., even their own counsel is corrupt...the language will die out at this rate. The Western Cherokee language is all that is taught now, and it is a corrupt language. A damned shame. Take care. Many thanks for the time and effort put into this.

Do you know how many bands existed before the greed for gold in California? Should you wonder why there are Tribes with few members? Has anyone asked any business owner how many people are in your family because that will be the determining factor of whether you can open your doors... very nice article. raised good points, however very difficult to judge one woman as greedy until you have walked in her shoes, fought her battle, and plan for a Tribe’s future that was nearly exterminated.
