Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

No, I can't really speak the language. Don't worry, most of us can't. Most of us aren't tribal members or anything. Only a small number remain.

I can speak some of the language phonetically. but I am done after that. I sure as shit couldn't spell the words - even in English language characters.

Our culture pretty much died due to it mostly being bred out of us by forced mating with the Irish. Our history was pretty well destroyed. We have people that come to the lands and dig on them every season, slowly recovering our heritage.

Oddly enough, many of us ended up in the swamps of Louisiana - as Creol and some other word that is escaping me right now.

Seems the cultures were taken from most of the tribes

Yeah, we were bred nearly out of existence. Another oddity is that many went to work inland (way inland) and became iron workers. They even did a lot of work on that bridge that goes from Michigan to Canada or some island way out there. I forget the name - Mackinaw, maybe?

It was quite deliberate. We didn't make very good slaves, so we were pretty roughly treated in other ways. To force breeding, English soldiers would do stuff like bayonet our children - to save the cost of lead and gunpowder. There are tales of them swinging children by the feet and dashing their heads on trees and rocks, again to save on the cost of lead and gunpowder, but the Brits didn't write that down. So, we can't prove that bit - but we can prove the bayoneting of children and the reasons why they used bayonets. They wrote that shit down.

Trying to enslave us was futile. We'd just escape and burn shit down as we ran away.

That sucks. The tribe my grandfather is from was moved out here from New York back in the old days
