The Native American Encyclopedia on Facebook tells us that Sitting Bull once said, "Warriors are not what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another life. The warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others. His task is to take care of the elderly, the defenseless, those who cannot provide for themselves, and above all, the children, the future of humanity." Sitting Bull sounds very wise and familiar, doesn't he?

This week we bring you a bit of America's Native American Legends that, through our eyes, has been overlooked by many. Do you remember back in your school days of studying history, ever learning any of the Native American cultures or legends? You would think that would be a very important part of the history, wouldn't you?

Where would America be without it's Native American legends? And . . . Why wasn't it a part of the history that we studied in school? It should have been!

When and where has American's compassion gone? Has it left all Americans completely? Why is it that Americans no longer have that urge to take care of the elderly, defenseless, children, those who cannot provide for themselves and the future humanity?

On to another subject matter . . . we have heard from Kathryn Hermansen, in Aptos, CA (Email: k.b.herm@gmail.com) who is researching her HOOVER/HOLUB ancestry and asks, "I'm researching a line that includes Lucille Hoover [1910-1988] who married Emil Holub [1907-1989]. I have an obituary for Lucille, but not much else. Any help would be greatly appreciated."

Can anyone help Kathryn out? Thanks for your help!

Good Night & Good Luck searching your ancestry!   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
