Klahawya Tokti Tipsu!

Greetings Beautiful Flower! Okay, maybe that's a little much but I thought it would be a great ice breaker to start this off with a little bit of the old language I'm learning and a little bit of my famous playfulness with just a little hint of my affectionate ways.

This is it though ladies, your lucky day! I have been down 9 long years, all of it alone and after much thought, have I finally decided to that it's time to put myself out there, that I'm not meant to be without the friendship and companionship of that special someone to help fill the needs of my Heart & Spirit in the way that only a woman can. Now you know where I'm coming from, I'm a straight shooter with no hidden agendas.

I waited so long to place an ad, in all honesty, because it took some time to get over the pain and shock of my situation. Until I could come to terms with that, undergoing self evaluation and personal healing, I simply wasn't ready for any kind of relationship. Now, for a little bit more about myself and what characteristics I think set me apart from the rest of the pack.

First, I am Native American, a tribal member of the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde Community of Oregon, my "HOME"! My people give me my sense of purpose, my direction. I know who I am, where I'm going and know what I'll be doing in here and out there in the years to come. Helping my people! Even from my cell I do what I can to help and am actively involved in important tribal affairs as I can. This is where I get much of my strength and what helps me to be a better human being today than I have ever been. I'm also very involved in the prison's Native American Spiritual Circle, organizing, scheduling and participating in all Circle matters and Ceremonies, this is where the real healing of my spirit began and continues!

Another quality that sets me apart and is an indicator of my truth and sincerity is that all my financial and material needs are met. I have my own money and am not looking to be taken care of in that way and am only interested in finding that special someone to help complete me. On that issue, I have always been the affectionate type that enjoys meaningful conversation, especially about what may or may not be going on inside you. If you don't tell me how you're feeling, don't communicate, you've lost me! I'm also one of those hopeful romantics that believes in soul mates, that perfect someone is out there that just gets you and loves you all the more for it.

As I have expressed my Culture and people are everything to me but I do have other interests and hobbies, all of which I include in my Native Lifestyle. Harley's and Early Ford Pick Up Trucks, I'll explain. I'm not a stone age indian, I grew up in LA's San Fernando Valley in and around Welding and Custom Harley shops, so I've been riding pretty much all my life. I'll be doing plenty more of that once I'm out of here, having plans that will allow me to travel the country from the seat of my Hog while helping the people.

By trade I'm a skilled Welder/Metal Fabricator, a Mechanic without limits and a Military trained Heavy Equipment Operator, so I've been around the world a bit too. I'm a pretty darn good cook too and enjoy feeding friends and family at big get together's, I really miss that! I love Blues based Classic Rock, just about anything from that late 60's, 70's and 80's depending on the mood. If I had only one song to share that would best describe my Heart & Spirit, I think Southern Cross, by Crosby, Stills & Nash would do that nicely.

If you're interested and would like to know more about this 'Indian' and what else he has to say, I'll answer all letters without prejudice, openly, honestly and with the respect and honor taught in our traditions. Thank you!
