"The stories this pipe would tell if it could only talk."

It would probably say "inowata heyna hetw whatta hee who ha" And you would be like "damn I don't speak Indian"

But it would be cool to try to make that stem part that is missing.

You are a cool stuff magnet these days.

I tell my wife if she finds any Indian stuff here where we live to not tell anybody as they might come in and claim our land as an old Indian burial site like they did on the Waltons.

We live close to the Scioto River and there must have been people living here way back when. Indians, settlers? who knows but in our deed legend it says the lands here were given to soldiers as payment for fighting.

BUT where my wife grew up an old treaty came to the date where the land that the homes where on in New York went back to the tribe there and the owners of the house that sat on that land had to pay rent to the tribe for the land that their house sat on.

So, I guess the tribe could say get your house off our land one day.

There was a whole area with no tax gas and cigarettes plus fireworks like our laws do not apply there.

I told one of the guys outside of the Indian casino there that the hail a cab that job would be cool and asked if you had to be a member of the tribe to work there and he said "the people form the tribe would not take this job it does not pay enough for them as they get money from the casino"

My dad loved the whole Indian thing and would have left it all to become a mountain man if he could.
