immerse yourselves in this magical energy of this most awesome young warrior of pure heart
i've been called both a mixed mutt and a half breed ever since i can remember
48 years ago on a record cold and snowy 17th i was granted my heinz 57 variety bloodline
for decades now i have been forced at times to choose a label of race and ethnicity
saturday night my native american heart sang at chicago's 54th annual american indian POW WOW
bittersweet tears flowed as i felt the loving spirits of my shawnee and cherokee great-grandparents
everyone in the pavilion was invited numerous times to dance as an ecelctic tribe of wonder
my shawnee great-grandmother mahala who married an irish quaker has always been a special matriarch
pochabarbarahontas is a nickname for my mom who received the unqiue beauty of her native kin
hours flew by in a most mystical autumn night & i truly felt transported to the otherworld of peace
returning to my car leafy pals surrounded me with magical tunes orchestrated by my mahala williams
no labels for me~~~i am johnutty macchcuckles o'lunaleafy of the ecelctic tribe of many nations
let's again embrace the wanderFULL care of our dear mother nature with her unconditional love
"17" HE AH HI AH HO AH HE AH HIAH HO AH HE AH!!! AHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :):):)
and here's a song of my youth that my mom and my dad always told me to place deep in my heart...
"cherokee nation" sung with heart by paul revere & the raiders... written by the spirited don fardon...

"they took the whole cherokee nation
put us on this reservation
took away our ways of life
the tomahawk and the bow and knife
took away our native tongue
and taught their english to our young
and all the beads we made by hand
are nowadays made in japan
cherokee people
cherokee tribe
so proud to live
so proud to die
they took the whole indian nation
locked us on this reservation
though I wear a shirt and tie
i'm still part redman deep inside
cherokee people
cherokee tribe
so proud to live
so proud to die
but maybe some day when they've learned
cherokee nation will return
will return
will return
will return
WILL RETURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
