Wellllllllll .......... wish I could sure say I have no clue what your talking about but sad to say there are people here that claim Metis.
And quite frankly I was asked to join several years back. If I paid $25. I told him that I was NOT Metis. He said I didn't have to be. I asked the guy what does a person get for $25 .....told me about getting a card. I said I can print one off my computer for a lot less than $25 and it would mean just as much.
Last I knew it was headed by a guy named Bill Satori. Odd bird that claims to be a great medicine man. I met him back in the early '80's. Wasn't until several years ago in Indy at the powwow where I saw him again. It was sooooooo funny. I heard a guy giving the invocation.......right. He was praying and praying......... and thank you for all the wing-ed ones.... the ones that walk.......the ones that crawl..... the ones that swim... the ones that........etc etc etc....... and I said to who was with me..........I heard that prayer before....... if I didn't know better I would swear it was Bill Satori praying. Then they thanked him after he went on and on and on ......... Thank you Bill. Ladies and gentlemen..... that was our elder Bill Satori!! It was the same damn prayer he used in the "80's
Anyway........... The only apache's I saw ther were two white guys........one was all painted up and wore black......"danced" barefoot backwards....... and he has been I don't know how many tribes over the years. The other one is a small white guy that wears a skull cap and bustle. He tries.... but.
Anyway...... I live here...... I wouldnt go back. Heck....I wouldn't even let my daughter dance when we got a look at it.
And you notice I never even mentioned the "drums" ????
