Apache, how interesting! I hear there is an Apache reservation in New Mexico and I think in Arizona. Have you ever been to a reservation? I haven't..yet. From what I've gathered, the Cherokee tribe resides in the East, Tennessee last I read. I would love to visit it. I have a friend who is Salvadorian and his ancestors are from the Pipil tribe. I once visited there and I got to see many of the Indian ruins, some of which had to be dug up from under lava that had poured over the city when a volcano erupted around, I think the 30s. It was an awesome site. There were also some that had been built on this huge landscape and over time the grass just grew over them. They look like mounds. You wouldn't know what was under there had it not been for the steps that stuck out. Have you been to a Pow Wow? My friend use to go to them. I so want to visit one! I use to have a huge map of the States, and in every state it showed which tribe resided there. It was beautiful. I also have Aztec Indian blood. Cherokee from my fathers side, Aztec from my mothers side.
I'm a mutt!

Edit to say: I think your journal entry is beautiful! I've always been fascinated with the Sioux tribe!
