Title: My Proud Tsalagi Heritage View count: 12 Rating: 5.0 (2 ratings) Description: I made this video to share how proud I am to have Cherokee blood in me. The Cherokee shared hardships, but through it all, they are still a band of people. God bless the Cherokee! There is no such thing as 'part-Cherokee.' Either you're Cherokee or you're not. It isn't the quantity of Cherokee blood in your veins that is important, but the quality of it . . . your pride in it. I have seen full-bloods who have virtually no idea of the great legacy entrusted to their care. Yet, I have seen people with as little as 1/500th blood who inspire the spirits of their ancestors because they make being Cherokee a proud part of a their everyday life." The Twenty Third Psalm Spoken By The Cherokee People The Great Father above a Shephard Chief is. I am his and with Him I want not. He throws me out a rope and the name of the rope is love, And he draws me to where the grass is green And the water not dangerous. And I eat and lie down and am satisfied. Sometimes my heart is very weak And falls down but he lifts me up again And draws me into a good road. His name is Wonderful. Sometime, it might be bery soon, It may be a long, long time. He will draw me into a valley. It is dark there, but I'll be afraid not, For it is in between those mountains, That the Shepard Christ will meet me and the hunger That I have in my heart all through this life will be satisfied. He gives me a staff to lean upon. He spreads a table before me with all kinds of food. He puts His hand upon my head and all the tired is gone. My cup He fills, till it runs over. What I tell is true, I lie not. These roads that are "away ahead" will stay with me through this life and after. And afterwards I will go to live in the Big Teepee, And sit down with the Shephard Chief forever. As I walk the trail of life In the fear of the wind and rain Grant O Great Spirit That I may always walk like a man.
