sounds about right, been some foxes who I've seen go through that, particularly some of the hollywood actors, that girl in the Josey Wales movie gained a ton of weight.
Quantum is bullshit but I guess it has it's good points. Also, again, none of us know the past, pretty much everyone I've personally known wonders about there antecedants. I knew a Swedish woman who would find a random curly, thick, black hair in her otherwise blond head and she asked her mom if there "was a N in the woodpile" point blank. My stepdad thought he was part indian he was probably mostly black and my family typically think there was some french mixed in a long time ago from the french trappers that came through, no one knows though, my aunt just said, "if there is, it's just a tinge".
Julia Jones was born in Boston, Massachusetts, to Frank Jones and Penny Wells. She has stated that her mother is of English descent and that her father 'is part Choctaw, Chickasaw, and African-American'.
so many folks claim to be indian in the past 40 years, Johnny Depp, Vanna White, Kim Basinger, Quentin Tarantino. Who knows? I do know that with the current era of Indian academics and civic leaders, they are whining their asses off over "pretendians" and ruining careers as best they can. They ended Buffy St. Marie's career as if she's not old as hell to begin with, a pretty nasty group of people really.
*WinterpegHave you ever visited Winnipeg?
absolutely. In fact, when I saw the recent Scorcese film, the one about Indians, the acting was way past what the stoical amateur Natives of the past could do. But they aren't indian in manner anymore, Indians are typically quiet, any kind, whether they are party girls and loose or academics, Indians are typically more introverted and "distant" as a woman once told me. Lily Gladstone did a great job but the others with all that hysterical drama wasn't like us at all, I just realize it's a different time and generation. It only takes one after all.
I've had some cousins who really hit a wall. I looked young until about 10 years ago then it all started catching up to me. Not as fast as it did to the Indians I know who lived on the streets and lived hard though. Not that I gloat over that, it kills me to see one of the guys I grew up with, he's practically a cripple and seems like a man in his 80's. What can I do though. Nothing.
It's not like this anymore but the people that would have a schizophrenic crackup in our and all tribal societies became medicine men/women and were important and revered. As the mythologist, Joseph Campbell, said, "the psychotic drowns in the same unconscious that the shaman swims in".
Maybe there's a few that aren't. Seems like every single white woman has some sort of mental illness
certainly a lot of hysteria an imaginary ailments, always a boot or something that they complain about. It's good though, you can spot folks like that easy.
