jeferson76 Native American Poet

thats how he described himself so i assume it means that he can trace his
blood line so that all his ancestors were of indian decent or I assume - he had no
european grand parents or great grand parents and on down the line --
this is my understanding - there is a tribe near us and to be a tribal member you only have to prove 10% indian ancestory - so i believe this gentleman is saying that his ancestory is 100% - like yours or my family tree...he must know his family tree.. he said his grand father or great grandfather was a medicine man ---

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
