 (U of Iowa Cowan images) “Primitive Children” Legend of the Eagle-Men Tell of stone from a drop of blood, Stone of Fire, we call Flint, One drop of blood from Sky to Earth. Such oral stories are dismissed By the “Learned” of Science. They tattoo the name “Cult” To what they will never know. Sun, Moon, Fire and Earth Speak in feathered whispers by Sacred degrees of the twelve Tail feathers of the Eagle. Called by the “Educated” Mound Builders These people listened to thunder, Thrilled to lightning, respected Every bird and animal, waded Into rivers to feel it’s life-force. Beings who let the Sun, Moon And Earth fire their soul! Children with the spark of Heaven’s Spirit. |

And thank you Rex for your read and comment, have been reading up on before the europeans came to this land, so much is lost of the "first people" history, I too have been blessed with native blood, may we both be illuminated by it's life flow, Bloodline |

History always tells a sad tale but I think many are now learning from the "primitive children". Maybe the many wouldn't if not for the way they were treated in the past but that, of course, doesn't make what happened right. Enjoyed! Helen |

We have much to learn from the traditions of native people. You do them justice with this beautiful tribute. Love, Margherita |

Yo Bloodline, Nice work. All families that have been in North, Central, and South America for centuries are related. Bobby |
