Whom did he call?

Having a friend, who worked so hard all his life to where he is now, "I have to say I worry," because he came into enough money to carry out his dream and now he has the chance to use his black book. In his book are the people he knows and worked so hard to meet in his life. So, "I ask myself whom did he call? or did he just stick to the plan."

His lineage is above the arctic circle, making him a 7th generation indigenous individual of Canadas north belonging to one of two aboriginal reservations in the Northwest Territories.

In 1994, is when his story takes shape, you see a White Buffalo was born on August 20th of that year in Janesville, Wisconsin at the Heider farm, named "Miracle". It is that year also his miracles started to happen in his life. To the Lakota Sioux Nation, "Miracle" was an ancient prophecy that has come true.

Being the last day of Native American Heritage Month that he celebrates. He decided to celebrate with a picture of his father and mother with his great grandfather, and a little story of where his mojo begins. These next words are his.

"James Sibbeston (1871), G'wichin and Scottish descent, from Ft.Mcpherson, Nwt. whom we are 100 years apart in age. So for 5 years I lived close to him and actually remember him well when I was left with him or i would run down the road just to see him. He lived without a gray hair on his head to the age of 105.

When I was told the story on my birthday in dec of 94, by my aunty Sarah, great grandfathers daughter whom looked after him till his last days , of how his hair and longevity came to be, I was blown away with wonder and a new belief in life.

He blessed me and gave me his name when I turned 1 as told to me by Sarah. She was in her 90s when she told me and for a blind woman she described it well to me.

Listening to vitalogy, by pearl jam for a month previously i came across a picture in the sleeve of the album, there was a chief, named chief big bear, not poundmakers big bear partner, but another, who was 80 without a gray hair on his head as stated. I was always fascinated by that picture. I searched for that chief big bear everywhere in the history books and nothing, till this day I don't know his story as I wanted to know his story as well. I even tried to ask pearl jam about the picture, but no avay.

Needless to say knowing my great grandfather's story eased my heart in life many times, as there was a big grizzly bear involved in his righteousness and legacy in his life. There are not enough words I can say about him so I will leave it at that.

I look at this picture and wonder as well is this my mother's birthday or great grandfather's, as I see the twinkle in my father's eye, and laugh because on her birthday in 71', exactly 9 months later, I was born. I will have to ask my father when I see him next. If this was her day or Great Grandfathers.

Identity is my Heritage and is very important to me. As of Feb, 2019 , I received my treaty card. I applied for it in 1994. The Gov't must have been busy I guess. I also posses a metis card from the Alberta Metis Nation that I received in 2015. I know I have fair skin and don't speak my language completely, but I'm learning, and I will say this, I always knew inside what I am, and proud of it, I'm an Indian, I am metis, I am white and I am a human being, as I experienced all those trials in my life.

So now I will be exercising my rights as a member of the K' atlodeeche First Nation and hope I can find peace within turtle island. I haven't accepted the apology of this nation I live in when it was announced in 2007 to the First Nations of Canada, I just pray and hope I'm understood in the near future as my English is very good still. And if you cant understand it oh well I'm only going to say it once."

So now with that short story leaving out his miracles in life and all the people, celebrities and Leaders he knows now, plus how he became an Oyate Techa Rider, (blessed and given that name by none other, Chief Avrol Looking Horse, 19th generation Keeper of the White Buffalo Calf Pipe, living on Cheyenne River Reservation, formally called the Unity riders Led by his lifetime friend the great Chief Gus Higheagle) I can only say this, Whom did he call? or did he just stick to the plan.

What is the plan? Trekking the entire Trans Canada Trail in 2022 by horseback, cycling, jogging and possibly by kayak and one hot air balloon just to share his vision to the world that he has kept in his heart since 1994, by experiencing some miracles in life.
