This is a really nice blog. I think more people should really drop by here frequently to get their fix for their daily reading.

I was curious if you ever considered changing the structure of your site?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of
content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or 2 pictures.
Maybe you could space it out better?

Hello,

We are a group of six 8th grade students from Eastern Middle

School in Silver Spring, Maryland. We were interested in using your image, 6 insane men, in our school project, which is a documentary about mental health.

Thank you for your time–

Comment on Another Noteworthy Achievement by Jason Evan Mihalko

How great to learn of her story.

It reminded me of a book I read a long time ago, about another Native American female physician. Years ago when I was in grad school I heard Lori Alvorod speak about her book The Scalpel and the Silver Bear — she was the first Navajo surgeon. Thanks for writing about this little bit of history–and reminding me of this book in the process!

Comment on Important Indian Tribes by James

Its ironic how historians seem to always get the role of black indians wrong. There were black Moors and native black indians, and also black indians that were of mixed heritage. Yet the only reference is of slaves. Especially in Louisiana and Mississippi, where there were quite a few “dark skinned” indians prior to slavery. Ive compared my own dna to a mississippi Choctaw indians and have confirmed what my grandmother and great aunt have always said.

In a spiritual reality, nothing can be lost and therefore, nothing can be taken, but while we perceive this physical reality, the idea of losing when you give or gaining when you take, are inbred into the worlds thinking.;

Comment on Attitude Is Everything by Lisa Sullivan Taisey

The Ellis Island Pics are priceless. Can’t imagine what they were going thru. My g g grandmother was held with my g grandfather and another cousin (they were teens). I have to find the Ellis Island records but she went back and forth to visit family in Italy and it say on the manifest they were held and given all meals then released. It said something along the lines of mental issues. I must find it and e mail it to you. How could the agents possibly hold someone without any knowledge of ANY illness?

Very informative post! Reminded me of my g grandmother in her late 30′s , an Italian immigrant , little English and most likely female problems. Wonder if she was judged worse because she was a FEMALE IMMIGRANT compared to a MALE Indian? Either way its very tragic.
