Hi@rebelchild .thanks for the tag. It's niceto know a bit of everyone's cultural background. I love anything to do with native Indian 's I hope no one gets offended by my word. The house you posted we used to have them house 's in Africa. That's where I'm from. My parents were leaving in them kind of a house when they moved to Africa from India. Until they could find a proper brick house. And I love their dancing. I used to do it when when I was in teens. I loved it. Cultural traditions and dance 's are so beautiful.

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day.
Thinking especially of my dear friend, David (@me6412) and praying for him.
One of my husband's family members was married to a Lakota Indian, sadly deceased. The Lakota tribe is a member of the larger Sioux tribes and its best-known member is Chief Sitting Bull.
We also attended a wonderful celebration by the Seneca Nation while in New York State a few years ago.

Tears come to my eyes right now for two reasons. First, seeing my dear friends who I adored so much posting a message in this thread. Second, reading how many community members do have Indigenous generations in their family. I am not sure why I am so drawn to Native Americans, perhaps it's a past life of mine, but every time I think of the Trail of Tears my eyes fill with tears. I wish that @me6412 was able to see this post. We had conversations about his relatives. So I thank all of you for tagging and sharing all that you have written here.
