Osiyo Oginalii, Ulihelisdi Owenvsv.... Cherokee for Greetings Friend, welcome home.
Thank You for stopping by our lodge. I am just getting started in the building of this web site. Please be patient with me as each segment of our web site takes shape,and gets a spirit of it's own. Under A Tattered Sun is here because of two reasons.One it is my small way to say Wado...Thank You to all American Indians. Thank You for being!Thank You for showing.!Thank You for teaching.!Also,Under A Tattered Sun is here because,My father is full blood Lakota Sioux.I am half,(by blood),but I am full blooded American Indian by spirit !!AHO!I didn't have the chance to grow up Lakota,or learn like I should have,so this web site is also a learning tool for me as well. I thank You for your patience and all your kindnesses as we grow together. May you always walk in the light of the Great Spirit.AHO!...Sincerely, Shonodese IronFeather
Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds
Whose breath gives life to the world, hear me
I come to you as one of your many children
I am small and weak
I need your strength and wisdom
May I walk in beauty
Make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made
And my ears sharp to your voice.
Make me wise so that I may know the things you have taught your children.
The lessons you have written in every leaf and rock
Make me strong!
Not to be superior to my brothers, but to fight my greatest enemy....myself
Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes,
So that when life fades as the fading sunset,
May my spirit come to you without shame.
