Sorry, distractions..

O.K. - I traveled east from the Porcupine Mountains with this fellow that I didn't care for. He was brusk and pushy and didn't really know what he was doing. I was a better tracker than he was, which is how we ended up following a trail to the east and a little north after one days travel. It was a fresh trail that he couldn't see until we got a little further along and there were more tracks. He didn't like me, nor did he like the fact that I could see tracks where he couldn't. There was a great deal of animosity between us as I tried to do things right and his ego wouldn't let him follow my lead.

We got to a certain point where the trail became like a major thoroughfare about two feet wide that nobody could miss. It went north between two hills and up into some small mountains. It was the only trail we had found, and we had come many miles east of the cave and had been gone for about three days. As we started to follow the trail between the two hills I suddenly became aware of where we were and stopped. The other guy went ahead a little way, then looked back, calling to me to "umbe, umbe" (come on, come on). I looked up at that mountain and felt the fear of the deer people there.

I said, "We can't go up there. This mountain is sacred to the deer people." I stood rooted to the spot and would not go closer. He begged, threatened, cajoled, and generally tried everything he could to get me to move. I felt there was something wrong with being there, aside from the possible invasion of a sacred area, and that we should leave. I said as much, but he was adamant that our people were counting on us to bring back meat. He kept pointing with his spear at the trail between the hills, and then, after we had argued for some twenty minutes or so, his eyes suddenly went wide with fear as he looked behind me. I just had time to register that someone was coming up behind me when everything went black. Some one had come up on me from behind and hit me in the head with a club, and killed me. As my spirit left my body, I could still see and then knew that the people who our hunters were after had invaded our country and were herding the game away from us.

This memory suffices to let me know how I got my name, which I use as a handle here on GLP - wabishkaeyabe. In honor of my actions that day I was given, and in fact earned the name - whitebuck.

Next - the sky world.

That one was amazing. Where are you from, now? hf
 Quoting: IndigoSerenity76


I now live on the Lac Coute Oreilles Chippewa (Ojibwe) Indian Reservation near Hayward, Wisconsin. I was born here but was put in a foster home, in fact three diferent foster homes until the last one where I grew up, near Elkhorn, Wisconsin. I graduated high school there and have traveled extensively since, returning to the rez in the last days of 1993. I am 60 years old as of 10/10/2012.

Glad you were able to return :). Where all have you traveled? I am in PA, have you been on this side of the country at all?
 Quoting: IndigoSerenity76


I have been to 46 of the 50 states, at least in passing through, which is the case with Pennsylvania, and have spent a significant amount of time in several. Hawaii, California, Utah, Florida, Michigan, Kentucky, Virginia, and Wisconsin is where most of my travels have landed me, at least for a short period. Lesser amounts of time in Georgia, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, and Massachusettes. In the 60's and 70's it was common to see hitchhikers across the country, and I've spent many a night under an overpass, or even out in the open, and I've met some very good people everywhere I went that were willing to help out.
