Contact info is on page 2. Respectfully, Eva E. Clayton There has been a passing of gentle spirits among many of our tribal fami lies. Life is sensitively fragile. But an end is also a new beginning. New youthful babes are beginning to strengthen the circle around the cycle of life. Families are beginning new generations. It’s with this thought I rolled my in terest back to the time before reservation. I strolled through some pages of fam ily tribal history. At first it was meant to be a separation of information, facts. I went from sensitive researcher to an amazed survivor descendant. I looked at the span of time in which the foot print history was being laid out. It was bit overwhelming. It was only yesteryear. It was like a Rubic’s cube. Puzzle parts trying to fit. But eventually the time line of events, people began to fit together. On our journey to where we have arrived at this point in time has been an informational nightmare of intended masterminding. But light is sinking into our archival crevices. A rebirth of true survival history is formulating. The triumph of ancestors who en dured a hardship most of us think we understand is the blueprint of what we are today. In retrospect: We have come a long way from the weary trek to the reservation. We have come a long way in surviving all odds of a browbeaten community. We have come a long way in re-estab lishing our identities as a people. We have come a long way in finding each other. Family spirit that intertwines. We have come a long way being the wiser. We will continue to survive and prosper only as a community that shares. We have come a long way. We are fam ily descendants who should be humbled by the past. Use enlight ened participation in our present and is challenged by a future that encourages vision. We have come a long way from accep tance to controlling our destiny. We have come a long way from restoration.
