Thanks so much for that post, Vendome. Glad to have one so knowledgable about native tribes.
Not so much knowledgeable I guess as a friend and business man.
Many of my friends are from each of the tribes I discussed and I have visited them all. My favorites being the Osage, the Pawnee and the Cherokee.
The Osage have the most beautiful lodge with their story depicted in mural or paintings on the walls.
The Pawnee have a fascinating history but I mostly like going to Pawnee Bills for Buffalo burgers.
The Cherokee, well they have song by Paul Revere and the raiders, LOL, but mostly my family part Cherokee though not enrolled.
I helped with the Cherokee agriculter project that Wilma Mankiller initiated as an independent and Cherokee Nation owned business that would provide a sustainable and even scalable business.
Her thought was to move the Cherokee’s to a conscious independence that would provide idle hands with work and a restorative work ethic that would result in greater personal pride and the collective pride of their nation.
