this is all documented and I am a documented blood-tribal member, and I won't give out any more personal info than that. There are a lot of cultural similarities between the Celtic-Peoples and Native American Peoples and so there seemed a natural mixing when these peoples came together.
That spirited "Last of the Mohicans" Theme song captured this blending of these cultures.(my ancestors were all a part of that history captured in that film too)
so I hope to get over that way to Ireland in the future to visit the place where some of my Ancestors came from
here is a beautiful rendition of an Irish tune for this thread:
Nice. Believe it or not I am currently writing a screenplay with a mix of Irish and Native Canadian from where I was born on Vancouver Island.
Did I misunderstand that you also have Japanese blood?
Interesting genetics, Raskal!
I imagine there are many many real stories of Irish emigrates through history and different countries.
So many stories...
