so after the woodpecker in the front pillar at work i looked and looked and found a list i have carried around most of my adult lfe. i know it might be wrong for me to take and write down as far as sacred and secret but you know what it was all i had at the time. the miwok indians out of northern california were acorn gatherers was all i could gather from many extended stays at the kansas city library. being adopted and then moving away does tend to put a crimp in learning tribal history. although i did move to hawaii , pearl city it was- for the next three years and i loved it. i found an article about the death of one of the last known miwok medicine men and if i remember right i thought his last name might have been smith. they published and photographed every item found in his medicine bag and that was something that excited me. now i could rule the world. anyway all these years later i think i am just going to jot them down one more time SO HERE GOES;
