#RavensFamilyTree
Nobody's around yet.
It is still the nesting period but soon this tree will be invaded with many youngsters who will enjoy a big bonanza feast with parents, right in the middle of the valley.
Then will sleep all together on it the entire night with a full stomach.

#LegendOfTheFalls
This weekend I've decided to go backpacking in a century-old pine forest hunting grounds for a return to my roots with some Native Cousins-descent where a tragic story happened many moons ago. Actually it is a legend; a legend where an Algonquin tribe with an old wicked and all-powerful Sorcerer named Nipissingue coveted the lovely Hiawhitha who none in the tribe dare to oppose him.
Unfortunately for the Sorcerer, Hiawhitha decided to give her heart to Arondack, the sworn enemy of Nipissingue. Whereupon, the Sorcerer launched the Algonquins on a warpath and counted on the fate of the battle to get rid of Arondack. He judged well; Arondack was fatally wounded but managed to get back to his wigwam in the village. Hiawhitha, daughter of the chief, who was the tribe's healer sat down at his bedside and nursed him.
One day missing some medicinal plants, Hiawhitha made her way to the steep precipice at Dorwin where at the bottom, a thin rivulet of water trickled, grew some native flora sarsaparilla roots which was in need for Arondack wounds. But not far away in a hot pursuit of his prey, Nipissingue sees her and engaged flung himself on her thereby throwing her into the ravine. As Hiawhitha's body touched the thin rivulet of water, a loud thunderclap reverberated through the gorge and Hiawhitha's long white linen robe turned into a magnificent 60ft high waterfall.
Then precisely at that moment Nipissingue stupefied and was transformed into stone by the Great Manitou thus condemned him for the eternity to hear Hiawhitha's triumphant song of victory; which is the sound of the falls.
Today we can still see Sorcerer Nipissingue's head of rock near the falls.
#MohawkTerritory
It was only and finally in 1904 that the Tioweró:ton territory was officially designated by Administrative Management of the Department of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada, as a Mohawk Native Reserve in the Laurentides région of Québec, Canada. They gained a promise that outside people would leave the area and never to return in exchange for not being prosecuted for trespassing by First Nation tribes.
It now officially belongs to the Mohawk First Nation; as it always should have been.
Our Heritage. Our Homeland.

#Selfie
I decided to liberate a morning selfie to say personally "Hi" to many good people surfing frequently Tumblr with the immense courtesy to stop on this blog leaving their respects on few publications of mine.
Because after all, we are still humans, right?

People who are really famous end up in total reclusive… I mean, they don't do anything. That sucks!
