Sometimes I'm shocked to see what I've created, thinking "did I do that or did I buy that somewhere." Most of my work though is rarely duplicated every piece is one of a kind. I gues I'm so blessed to have been giving this wonderful talent of beading. My late mom, aunties and grandma have done beadwork. The only think is that I have my unique designs techniques, I like to put alot of color into my work. My patterns and designs come to me while I'm work on a project. But when I look at what was done along time ago, my work is so different. Is that okay? Different is good right in culture or tradition? ]]> littlesky49 http://www.powwows.com/gathering/blog.php?b=311 <![CDATA[wow. i did it. i'm more random than ever.]]> http://www.powwows.com/gathering/blog.php?b=310 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 06:32:31 GMT last weekend at elmo powwow...i was all nursing one of my boys and my name was announced. i actually placed. it was like...really shocking. so shocking that i walked up to get my money with my boy still attached...jks. then i membered all the judges were my cousins and the committee was full of aunties and uncles...jks. i'm just messing. but really. that was awesome! i won $600 dollahz. i put half in my one savings account and i'ma put some in my boys' savings accounts. when i thought bout it...i was like heck yeah...i earned that 600 bucks too. i packed for me n my boys. helped my ma put up two tipis. helped take down one. changed diapers galore. woke up early in the morning 2 feed n change my boys. got my boys ready to dance. got myself ready 2 dance. fed my boys n changed em periodically. and yah...heck i was busy as a beaver. anyways....i haven't placed since ...like....last year. at some tiny powwow in washington. i got beat by a pregnant chick lol. but hey...for a pregnant chick she was bad *** (bubbus george). it was kool cuz my sister placed too but if she didn't place i was gonna be like hell naw...cuz she is getting a lot better. she just started jingle dancing. she used 2 be a tradish dancer back in the dayz. anyways. i got my red shawl done...just gotta burn the ends of the ribbon so it don't fray. got a cape started. its going to eventually be beaded...but probably not til next year (at the grama rate i'm going). and uh. in the process of making a dress n shawl for this weekend. i can't wait to dance to northern cree!!!!!!!!! n then...i'm going 2 rocky boy and see northern cree AGAIN!!!!!!!!! oh man...my poor lil boys. they are just on the go with me aren't they? but they don't care. the last three weekends we've camped out and on those nights we were sleeping outside....they slept all night. it was like...way kool. but at home, they wake up at 2 or 3 am. bummer. at least they can sleep without a lot of fuss ya know? i'm so grateful. i have the best boys ever! i just...nurse 'em, put 'em in their lil bed, cover 'em up if it's cold, put a binky in the mouth (if needed) and kiss 'em good night. the two of them look at each other and roll around to get comfy...then...i go back to check on them and they are all snuggled next to each other with their little arms up and fast asleep. it's awesome. i'm just so stinkin lucky cuz i see how my sister wrestles with her daughter to go to sleep and she's a year old now....so yeah. my prayers go out 2 my sister who never gets enough sleep. poor lil thing. but yeah...elmo powwow was small as heck this year but that was okay cuz ...if all the kick *** dancers were there, i wouldn't have placed :( but ya...it was weird cuz when i dance i usually watch the other chicks who are dancing and the one that won our category...i never saw her...well, i don't member her outfit or anything. i was like...huh? but anyways, i think her name was vanell scott or something like that...or dannell? gosh...anywho. the chick that got third...i thought she woulda got 2nd and i thought lacey would have won. and felecia paul would get third. but as the curse goes...if you win at arlee powwow, you won't win at elmo. and if you didn't win at arlee, you have a good chance of winning at elmo. and....very few dancers have actually broken the curse and took first place at both arlee and elmo...my dad said guy fox may have been one of 'em. but yeah. see all the kool people at julyamsh! ]]> marichriaddi http://www.powwows.com/gathering/blog.php?b=310 <![CDATA[MY DOG "BEAR"]]> http://www.powwows.com/gathering/blog.php?b=308 Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:18:24 GMT today i was puttering around my front yard. just trying to make the place look a little more decent. thats when the thoughts of my two beloved dogs came rushing into my head. BEAR & TROOPER.

BEAR was a red heeler. his coat was short and thick, the color of chocolate. my friend and housemate brought him home one night. i didnt know my friend was going to surprise me with a puppy, but i had a feeling that something very special was going to happen that night. and it did!

my friend came into the house and said,' i have a surprise for you....'and before he could finish saying 'its outside in the jeep', i was running out the door, barefooted and dressed only in my nightgown. it was a cold november night with a chill in the air. but i didnt notice, i just ran out to the jeep and was wildly looking around for something special! at first i couldnt see the shiney bright eyes and wet nose. he was just a little guy with ears that stood up, except for the very tips, they had a little droop. when my eyes caught a little movement in the front seat, there i saw this little creature patiently sitting up and waiting for someone to come and get him. when i realized my surprise was a puppy, i quickly opened the door and gently lifted him out. he was all ready for our first greeting. he started wagging his tail so fast it was a blur. i cuddled him in my arms and hugged him gently to my heart. that was when he melted into my heart forever.

he was warm and soft and smelled like a warm october breeze. he was perky and happy to be home. and home he was. it didnt take long for this little guy to curl right up on the couch. we took a picture of him, with a background of a bear tapestry. he looked so much like that big bear, that his name came easily to us. "BEAR".

he was a super sweet dog. the strange thing that we noticed about him was he didnt bark. in fact, he didnt make much of any noise at first. that and the fact that he tended to stay at our heels, made for quite a comedy when we couldnt find him. the faster i turned around, the faster he kept at my heels! that was in his genes.

it wasnt until he grew a little bigger that he learned how to make a strange noise in his throat. he would get so excited when we came home that he kind of did a raspy squeek and did back flips! of course we had to just pet and hug him for being so clever. everyday BEAR melted our hearts. we couldnt love him enough, and he loved us. so when he became sick and stopped eating and drinking water, we tried to help him get well. but he got worse so fast that we didnt expect him to die. it broke both of our hearts. BEAR almost made it to his first birthday. he is buried in the front yard on our eight acres. there is a marker stone with his name on it. i still weep for him, with a deep ache in my heart. TROOPER is buried next to him. but he is another story for a different time. ]]> APACHEFIRE http://www.powwows.com/gathering/blog.php?b=308 Haunted or Celebrated? http://www.powwows.com/gathering/blog.php?b=307 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:16:52 GMT When I grew up the Native American culture wasn't celebrated. It was a shame and something that was hidden from sight. But you can't hide a glorious nation. These existed from long ago. A land and people with no borders. They followed another path
After a long history of deaths, imprisonments, stolen land and gold. There is poverty, disease, stolen dignity, and stolen identity. The broken treaties, broken promises, and broken hearts. Families were torn apart forever. That and more were suffered by them.
These two halves of suffering and celebration come together. The Native American culture is celebrated now. All over the world these traditions are seen. They see the strength and dignity of the Native Americans. Even in North America the regaining of lost pride has come. It is long overdue. These courageous native people have much to be proud of. In their very dance they defeat their foes and celebrate life. ]]> Ann111 http://www.powwows.com/gathering/blog.php?b=307 Lonely Thoughts.... http://www.powwows.com/gathering/blog.php?b=306 Sun, 20 Jul 2008 05:51:30 GMT *SOMETIMES I WONDER WHY I FEEL SO LONELY.

Are We (NDNS) still poor?
I have to say yes to that in the $$$ dept. but RICH in our Heritage area.
I have trouble figuring out just where the gaming $$$ gets spent.
Programs/Projects, New Depts. new offices (doubling-up) poker talk! but yet the cry is nation wide about how bad our people have it
...health care (what there is of it)...I meant to say the line to get Aspirins. Or better yet (don't save the teeth(just pull'em) dental care. Thats just a start.
Are you having trouble following the $$$ trail in your Tribal gov.
Hope it turns quick cause the US Gov. is taking our Sovereign rights bit by bit...I believe they are called compacts to gaming. At risk is Energy/Water rights,Land use,mineral rights; Please feel free to add to this list I am sure there are more. Just thought Id put my thought out there..:whatchuta
Now don't get me wrong..I don't feel like a fighter...but words need to be true and short and to the point! Let me know

I am. Sometimes it gets boring. I try to keep myself entertained. I ride. I fish. I sometimes just wander aimlessly in the hills. Is this being alive? Or is it just existing. Sometimes I think I need more purpose. Where do I fit in the grand scheme of things? I think too much sometimes about abstract absurdities. Or are they? Physics books, History books, theologians' BS.

I'm just rambling on. Much like what I do everyday. I have no focus. I end up on ridiculous forums on myspace attempting to enlighten, but see no progression. I only see regression, on all sides.

I see pow-wows as both good and bad for natives. Good to keep and hold on to traditions and culture. Bad to always escape to pow-wows and never realize the world outside of pow-wows. Neglecting important issues concerning all. Sometimes pow-wows are more "commercial" than anything. Money making schemes by greedy people. Natives acting more like greedy ......... people.

But, whatever. I am just rambling. I am kinda bored. i should start craft work, but i have not the patience. I think i have been born 200 years too late. ]]> 7pointbull http://www.powwows.com/gathering/blog.php?b=304 Eternally http://www.powwows.com/gathering/blog.php?b=303 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 06:30:56 GMT We take the steps forward in life Stumbling at times and even skinning some knees in the fall But we must pick ourselves up Brush the debris off and carry on.

I am, but I am not. Is this what is to be expected? A state of indifference? I did receive 2 well wishes from my frenz...thank you guys. Other than that, it seems like life is too fast paced, dramatic, hectic, blah, to stop and remember that it is someone's day, especially as you get older.

If no one remembered my birthday when I was 7 or 8, yeah, it would have been a huge issue. I would have been scarred for life. I see my friends with huge families...man, they have like about 2 or 3 birthdays every month...lol.

Ok, so it does somewhat irk me. Being a year older still is a little irky too, but that's when the logic of "some don't live to get to be this old" kicks in.....I am 49 by the way....."they" say to act your age. I guess I have to hit every 49 this year..ayez.. Big talk..after a pow wow, this old gal just heads straight for the barn anymore..lol. Leave the after hours parties, 49's, beer swilling and snagging to the younger crowd. I have no business there!!

*Sigh*, I guess it is time to grow up. What I mean is this reputation I have of "living on the edge". I used to be proud of that, lol. I used to snicker when people would shudder and say they could never do that....as I flounce away, one step ahead of the hounds. Well, I guess a smidgeon of maturity has eaped it's way into my being, and tells me "it's time". Time to straighten up and fly right. Time to join the responsible crowd of on time bill paying, health consious, responsible, reliable older generation. I've been fighting this for years....but I know it's time to toss in the towel. It is what it is. I am what I am. LOL, I can't even call myself a cougar in the pow wow world, because snagging younger men is soooo out of the question. I may leer now and then, but that's as far as that goes...eventually, that habit will fade away like all my other bad ones....

So, what chapter of my life is left? What is there to look forward to now? Watching the grand kids grow up and celebrating their achievements is a given, but how about on a personal level? What about me? The ever important me aspect of it all? Do I take a back seat to my life and carry on being the caretaker of others? Have I fulfilled all that I ever wanted to? Do I start leading an unobstrusive existence as people focus on the more flamboyant, younger, charismatic personalities? Do I watch this with a satisfied smirk on my face as I think "Been there done that...".

Hmmm, is this the part where I start "being good" so I can start making my way to heaven?? Yikes. LOL..you can fool a lot of people, but you can't fool God. He knows your underlying M.O. more than you do....so don't even go there.

Or is this the part where I sit around with others comparing symptoms? Lower back pain, achy joints, forgetfulness, vitamens, where do you get your calcium from, etc. etc...man, I'm getting so tired just thinking about the exciting life ahead that I'd better go get some Geritol! LOL!

I guess the age thing come from the crowd I keep. I usually roll with my kids or my niece when I go to a pow wow or something. Most of my friends are married with their hubbies and kids and grandkids...so a lot of them are content to go home after work, cook supper, eat, watch tv and go to sleep. I don't have any pow wow friends my age to roll with, and if I did, I would worry that we'd get lost....lol!

All in all, Happy Birthday to Meee.... I'm not exactly where I want to be, but I guess that is something I have to work on. But for now, I am doing what I want to do, and that is writing and drinking coffee, and that's all right by me.

*sunday morning of the powwow....waking up in your outdoor campsite, walking hurriedly to the nearest outhouse, then...wondering just how many different asses sat on the very same seat.........
*who do you really need to know in order to win at the powwows??? the committee, the judges, everybody and their rez mutts???
*when all the drum contest winners are announced and they are all slapping hands...who really washes their hands after going to the bathroom and just how much germs are spreading at that exact moment....ewww
*am i really missing out on the 49?
*as i walk around the powwow, why does everyone seem so dang young?
*is it all about a fancy outfit or fancy moves? or is it just all about how good looking a dancer is? could a guy or girl be totally hot, have a rank outfit, and two moves and still place? or could a rank guy or gal have the bombest outfit with one move and place? or...am i just nuts?
*i wish i could bead a new outfit and have new dresses and shawls sewn up in a jiffy...but HOW? and WHEN? lol
*how do these dancers do it? I see they have kids AND bad *** outfits for the whole family...is there someone they hire to make their outfits or what??? or they in the yellow pages?
*which powwow was THE powwow to be at last weekend?...was I at THE powwow to be at? will i ever be?
*if you don't go to powwows ....what makes you qualified to run a powwow?
*seeing good teen dancers move up to the adult categories and not placing even though they are WAy better than the adults....is it wrong? or is it right?
*i hate chicken dance specials where guys who aren't even chicken dancers get in the special and then place. i like a powwow that has a chicken dance category instead of a special so then I can see the tail every dang session.
*isn't it kool that the only kind of guys in the world who will wear tights or short shorts under their outfits for all to see are Native guys? fuzz i think that is the shyznit.
*i wonder how many ndns there are hanging out on my rez until browning ndn days and elmo powwow.
*i wonder how bad *** julyamsh will be....
*does Northern Cree listen to their own CD's? do they jam out to themselves the way i jam out ot them? or are they like...jammin some other group that I don't even know about? or do they just...not listen to powwow jams at all....
*why do the nicest men....have to be married?
*if i wanted a loser, I would go to the 49. if i wanted a winner, I'd have to daydream about him cuz he's already got the perfect family.
*so...it's like this...I have two beautiful twin boys and people are always like..."are they twins?" how f'in retarded is that...it's like...nope, this one is adopted. or nope, they are brothers. or nope, this just happens to be a way for me to get attention. or actually they are triplets, but the other one isn't as cute. and the other thing that really chaps my buns is when it's like....oh they're both girls...or which one is the girl? as though all twins come in sets of boy/girl twins now. it's like...uh...he is wearing a shirt that says "boys rule" i mean...come on, it ain't THAT hard 2 finger out is it? i mean...u can read right? auurgghh! anyways...yeah my boys are pretty. i guess i will have 2 deal with it and make fun of them when they get older. jks.
*note to you people reading this...if u see two babies that look like the same age, have similar features, and are being pushed around in a double stroller-DON'T EVEN ASK IF THEY ARE TWINS. be creative. say...uhhh "wow, nice twins u have there." oh and the whole "u must have ur hands full" and the "is it hard to take care of two babies?" questions are just....played out. it's like...well duh there are two of them, OF COURSE IT'S HARD! lol. but it's fun too. but yeah, just don't be stupid. k?
*i never thought i'd be walking around a powwow with babies.
*i never thought walking around a powwow with babies could be kooler than walking around a powwow looking for snags lol.
*it was a year ago that I met the boys' *gay* dad. yeah...their dad is a fag. him and his boyfriend wanted to find a woman to have their kid but when i found out it was twins, they didn't want to raise them b/c they are weak. so they are adopting a girl instead b/c they aren't man enough to raise boys. lol. that's my story and i'm stickin 2 it.
*i never thought that a guy i met at the 49 would be my baby daddy.
*note to self-DON'T MEET A BABY DADDY AT THE 49.
*it's sad to know that there are guys out there just looking to make babies but not raise babies. it's really depressing to know that i have cousins who are those kind of guys.
*what is so wrong with guys these days? they didn't get breastfed long enough or their daddy wasn't there so they gotta take it out on these poor little babies. i think guys that don't pay child support or take care of their kids should be sterilized. guys who don't understand their power as creators shouldn't have that kind of power to begin with....
*i started talkin bout powwows, how did i get on this subject?
*arlee powwow was good this year, but next year i'm going to lame deer.
*i am still in awe that people still go 2 arlee powwow.
*i wonder when arlee powwow will propel itself into the new millennium.
*where can i get magwa's new cd? ]]> marichriaddi http://www.powwows.com/gathering/blog.php?b=296
