Gah .... I phrase that just translates to ... 'hmmmm ok got you' ... Gah

I was just about to log off for the night when I saw your note.

I'm pretty much the same way ... full blooded Ojibway/Cree or Oji-Cree to some ... my parents taught us to speak our language first before we learned English so I'm fluent. Like you I grew up with a ton of classico Native family of drunks, drugs and parties. Saw the signs early on and when I was 20 went into a program and have been clean since for 28 years. And also like you, I haven't seen the rez or much of my family since then. Many of my friends I grew up with went into the red road Pow Wow scene as dancers, drummers and singers but I never went that way ... I'm proud of them and always wished I could do the same but I never had the chance. I'm somewhere in between worlds being an Indian and an Indian living like a white man .. lol ... I'm neither nor am I part of either so it's weird most of the time. I'm not Native enough for my Native family and I'll never be white enough for my wife's white family. It's weird being Indigenous ... it always has been.

Nice to meet you nichi .... it's a short form for nichi-kwesoo (my brother/sibling) .. or nichi-ininew (my fellow Native/my fellow man)

Eh-koo-teh (that is all) ... wachiyeh

Heh, the username makes more sense now. It was nice chatting though. Pretty rare to see a native proper almost anywhere online lol.
