Meriwether Lewis, Me, the Indian Nation of Montana and This Blog.. Time to Listen to the Tribes of Montana.

Let's Get Started here by saying I don't have a Clue.
r
I don't know what the Montana Tribes have been through, what they are experiencing today, what issues they face, or what I can do to be a part of the Greater Good or to enhance their quality of life, to heal old wounds and better new lives.
r
I do not know what will bring a better daily life to the Indian Nation, the tribes in Montana, I do not know what it is like to live on a reservation, to grow up in a 2 room house on Hill 57.
r
I have no idea what the Montana Tribes are experiencing today, what they hold in their heart, if they are being heard, respected or treated with dignity.
r
However, I Do intent to find out as I create this blog and as I learn all I can about Melinda Gopher and the people of Montana of whom she is giving voice to.
r
I am a descendant of Meriwether Lewis, in my blood runs the blood of the "opening of the west" and to me this a bit of a disgrace, I intend to tell you why I feel that way, and to bridge the gap between those of us who had nothing to do with life forced on the Indian Nation, ..those of us who feel kin to the Indian Nation though we are not... and bridge that gap Between the Indian Nation of today. As together we move forward to Heal Old Wounds, Make a Stand for the Rights of the Montana Tribes and to Support the Needs of the Native Americans in Montana.
r
It is time to listen, to talk about what has happened to heal the past and to get NEEDS met Right Now in the Present.
r
It is time, not for a better then though but for an Equality. Time to Listen to the Indian Nation.
r
I will be talking a whole lot about this as I feel very passionate about it.. Stay Tuned.. I am sure, as Always, many will not appreciate what I have to say, oh well, it is my Truth and hey it is My Blog....
r
So with Honor, Respect and Gratitude I begin this Journey of this New Blog added to My Montana News by the People for the People News Network.
