Collections of words from a Colville Native.
Yesterday went out of my way to go out of my way. Went out ‘horn hunting’ and tried out a spot everyone thinks everyone else got to already - around the park city loop road. At first signs were all around just heading up to the top. After some huffing, puffing, and [...]
We pull in wednesday night, or possibly very early thursday since we did show up at midnight? Anyways, the day comes and we’re lounging for miss indian world to come through, but instead of sitting through it all, we went to go eat. Nice dinner shot, then it’s back to miss indian world lobby. Not [...]
So people go through things at times. Sometimes good, sometimes bad, then there are those that just happen that aren’t one or the other but just are there. I don’t know what’s going on, but today I saw things I usually pay not much attention to, other people’s expressions around me. I heard it in [...]
The spend New Year’s With Lost Tribe show was niiiiiiiiiiice. Again, it was NIIIIIIIIIIIICE. The band was on some metal hip hop stuff and from there it was about what can the guy on the mic bring and what can the crowd do. Some of the songs normally bumped around the rez were revamped in [...]
there is an actual spot around here called ‘mushroom mountain’. It’s on the way to buffalo lake from the backroad to nespelem. It’s a couple hours to sunset so we’re basically wandering around trying to get lucky in seeing some whitetail. The past trips I’ve personally been on have come up empty in the viewing [...]
There we were, driving along the mountains after an early morning wake up call I didn’t answer as early as anticipated. So we’re a li’l late, but still getting there before sunrise. The driving continues for a couple miles into some backwood backroads. Then, the 1st spot of something to shoot - a nice spike. [...]

Yesterday was a day of some sunshine and windy conditions. So, it was decided it was a good day for horn hunting. Went out of our way to go out of our way, but eventually ended up somewhere we thought we’d be sure to get something. It ended up being somewhat of a dry run, [...]
The health of our children should seem like a pretty good topic to discuss, and even act on I’d think? Yet, within our rez, and I’m sure every other rez out there, the huds/projects have houses that still contain Asbestos and Fungi Spores. Not just some here and there, but a good majority of homes [...]
So fam can prove to be a li’l more than shady. Not my situation, but a bro’s. He’s got fam trying to act like they can secretly point fingers and then try to take from him? Snitch ass native haterz, for reals. Karma is really going to take it’s toll on them though. Can’t have [...]
Not quite sure what’s going on at the moment? Got through some more drama dealing w/ ughing rollers, or not even them, but a small town roller. Guess what though, we know the rules and it’s that they LOOK for reasons to get you to put up your identification, proof of insurance and registration for [...]
Windreamer - The Beat Of Another Drummer
Song is over a year old already, and I will redo the vocals. This rough draft is going online though, just to let folks know I’m actually in this music scene, even though it’s kinda behind the scenes at the moment. Speaking of behind the scenes, I told the [...]
What happened in 2006 went something like this (In no particular order):
Got on some songs for the Boss Hogg album “Escape From Reality“
Got some songs done that still haven’t seen the light of day
Started up some songs I’m not sure how to finish up
Kept writing to keep sanity in reach
Bought a duplicator that is itching [...]
yesterday was a day for cruising. Got into a li’l 4×4 rig w/ a couple bros and tried out some more hunting. It wasn’t too bad, cause we got to one spot and saw a small doe at the start of the trip. Kept on tracking around and got to a spot that was way [...]
This past week was a gooden. Went out walking in the wild w/ a bro and some firearms in hopes to feed folks. The first day was a quick intro into this year’s cold winds and quick sundowns. Walked around for a bit, but walked away w/out seeing anything.
The next day was a trip w/ [...]
Originally went there for a performance, possible recording session, native concert thing, fam, and Miners. Many things didn’t seem to work out, and that was from the get go.
It was alright though, cause I did end up catching up w/ a couple bros. The last time I got to see them was for graduation for [...]
Where to begin in this thing now? I was locked up for a period of 22 days, and about 20 hours, so pretty close to 23 days in the Colville Tribal Correctional Facility. It started with the apprehension of moi through an anonymous letter sent about a plant that was growing. Yeah, the plant isn’t [...]
Lock down in pod MB100 of the Colville Tribal Correctional Facility as of October 2nd, 2006. Another post when I get out of this junt.
Went out and tried some Bugling the other day. It was crazy, because it was the whole preparedness that was driven into us since youngings. We had guns, we had the camo, we had the spot, we had some dogs, we had calls, but the actual experience and knowledge about the call was very lacking. [...]
