This online community has been an integral part of helping people get connected to their roots, find their roots, helped others understand about our ways and stay connected to their heritage. Personally I love the stimulating interaction and intelligent conversations it provokes. Over the years I have seen many of our Native community honored and spotlighted for various reasons. Honoring people for their accomplishments and or just being who they are is very important to us as a people because it allows others to get it. There are Native people represented in every area of the work force and we are very proud of that. Not only are we proud of our Ancestry we are proud of the prospect of our future as well. This forum allows us to demonstrate our great diversity, explore cultural ways, preserve historical education, view ancient art and gain a better understanding of who we are as a people.
