Native People always ask each
other those type of questions....
Where are you from? What nation? What Tribe? Who are your relatives?....
The adoptees or "lost birds" search and then greatly appreciate
the history and knowledge
All of the people responding
to this question belong to the Facebook group Dakota 38 + 2 Memorial Ride
Amaris Makes Good My maternal grandparents are Irene McKay
from Spirit Lake Dakota Nation and Ambrose A. Thompson, Sr. from Standing
Rock. My paternal grandparents are Mercy (Broken Rope) Makes Good &
Reverand Daniel Makes Good from Oglala Lakota Nation. I am a good mixture
of Euro-American of some sort, which I do not claim, LOL and a good mixture
of several bands of the Lakota/Dakota/Nakota. I can also list their parents
and grandparents. I tell my children its very important to know who you
are and what families you come from.

Gloria Hazell Derby Chuck's family on his Dad's side were
Sisseton, the ancestor the furthest back was Hu Ha Zizi, and it was through
him that we were lucky enough to meet you Tamara, you knew where he was
buried and sure enough there he was just where you told us. We were both
very impressed with you at that point and I have become even more impressed
with you since then seeing all of the things you do and the amazing knowledge
you have, some of which you are sharing with us today. I thank you very
much for that. Wopida!

Cher Gautreaux Baum i don't have Dakota Grandparents or
Ancestors...i joined the group for two reasons...one, i admire & respect
all those who endure such hardship to honor their Ancestors on this ride...2nd,
in honor of my adopted cousin...he was one of the "lost birds"
and adopted by some of my family members...they knew he was Dakota &
tried to always help him know & understand the history of his People...i
say he was one of the lost birds, as just a few years ago, after much
hard work he found his way home to his birth family...while both of his
parents have long since passed...he is blessed to have many Aunts &
Uncles there to teach him all about his family and heritage Oh and my
Dad's family is French/Chitimacha/Mi'kmaq.
