3. I will miss him....

he was a great actor and a very good musician. I first met him when I was 16. He was very interesting and very nice to a bunch of teenagers. That was a long time ago but I always followed his career because he was so nice to us.

4. I hope he has a gentle journey.

He was Ten Bears in Dances with Wolves, Albert Hosteen on the X-Files, and One Who Waits on Northern Exposure, as well as appearing in tons of other movies and TV series. He was an excellent actor and musician. He was a Sisseton from the Lakota Nation. He was very active with the AIM. And my friend Robin said he was a good and gentle man as well.

5. A native american blessing for Red Crow

WE WILL BE KNOWN BY THE TRACKS WE LEAVE BEHIND

HUMANKIND HAS NOT WOVEN THE WEB OF LIFE.
WE ARE BUT ONE THREAD WITHIN IT.
WHATEVER WE DO TO THE WEB WE DO TO OURSELVES.
ALL THINGS ARE BOUND TOGETHER.
ALL THINGS CONNECT.

20. may I join you in wishing him to be home safe.

But is there anything such as one eighth Native american?

You are of the people or you are not. I am told I am German, French Scotch and Irish. But that is a lie.

I am someone who has never forgotten the prairie fires and story telling and the web of life.

And all the things my inner soul knows that there was no way I could have known by being a young child playing in the alley ways of Chicago.

My husband says he is one eight Ute. I tell him what I just told you.
