Quoting Miss . Kitty ™©:“ Aww ! I have 2 little dream catchers from pow wows my bff went to . I had them up for along time . ... [snip!] ... my closet . I hung them back up & It seemed like she slept worse last night then usual . I thought they would help her .  ”

I only have 1 dreamcather in my room.
But I keep sweetgrass and cedar in my room too .
I think I have tobacco somewhere too, not sure.
It's for protection anyways .

Do you know what dreamcathers are for ?

prevent bad dreams?!

Quoting strawberry shortcake:“ Nia is beautiful, she is your mini me!”

That's so weird.
Everyone here says that she looks exactly like Reggie.
It's kind of confusing.
It kind of gives me the intention that Reggie and I look alike  

awwww she is so cute!

I thought they caught your bad dreams ?

Quoting strawberry shortcake:“ prevent bad dreams?!”

They donn't [prevent] them.
I get bad dreams sometimes and I have a dream cather above My bed and beside Nia's bed.
But they catch your bad dreams so youdon't have them again.

There's a teaching on it, but I forget how it goes.
Maybe I'll ask Reggie tomorrow, because now I'm curious lol

When she sent me mine one had a little paper in it saying what it was , I forget though .

Find out !

Quoting Miss . Kitty ™©:“ When she sent me mine one had a little paper in it saying what it was , I forget though . Find out !”

Yeah , for sure .
I feel like since I've been with Reggie I've learned so much about my culture.
I think my grandparents held back because they were victims of residential school.

Quoting Courtney . Dylan:“ You wont be when the little one starts . She'll definitly keep you busy. Nia is EVERYWHERE”

Mari gets into everything just with the crawling and pulling herself up on everything. i want her to walk though.

I learned a lot from my BFF . When i was in Utah , I went to pow wows & her grandpa spoke to me in Ute . He knows so much !!

Residential ? like where they made them to to regular schools , cut their hair & gave them "Christian names" ?

Yeah, they were roman-catholic schools.
My grandpa didnt go to residential school though because when they catholics came to the reserve to recruit students at the beginning of every school year, his parents told him to go out to their trap line for a few nights.
My grandma went though . She said it was "shitty" .

But luckily, our family didn't get our name taken away.
my last name means "Mother of the World"

Quoting Sneaker Head:“ Mari gets into everything just with the crawling and pulling herself up on everything. i want her to walk though.”

It is very exciting though, and you'll be so proud.
It was emotional for me , i stated crying lol
how old is she now ?

Whats a trap line ? & Whats your last name ?

Quoting Miss . Kitty ™©:“ Whats a trap line ? & Whats your last name ?”

A trap line is where you set up multiple snares to catch rabbits, birds & Traps to catch larger animals like bears or wolves.
Depending on how far the trap line goes , determines if you have to camp a night to get to the end. And my grandpa's family had a large one.

My last name is; Mamakeesic
