Tell us something about yourself?

I am right handed but I sign ambidextrously especially when it comes to fingerspelling in either ASL or Auslan.

ME TOO! I am always at loss trying to explain how I do it or even how I found out that I can do that. People really freak out fast. When they try to do it, they just shake their head really fast... :)

Can you make three loops with your tongue? I can among other tongue tricks.

All those tricks made me popular in 5th grade. ;)

Trail of Tears was 1830s.

My great grandmother had escaped from the Trail of Tears in Kentucky (mountains). My father was born in 1913. I looked at the map of where they were taken away from their homeland. It started in Georgia but there were few other tribes beside Cherokees who were removed from their homes too. They were all moving to Oklahoma. Damn that cruel and horrid President Jackson. That is why we were never talked about it because of that horrible experience.
That is why my grandmother cried because being an Indian is horrible to the white people and not equal as everyone. What about Blacks and Japanese who have been put up with white people just because we are different than they are? It just made me sad. Do you think white people are more superior than we are no matter what color or creed we have? Do white people think they are better than we are? Heck, no. They are not! :(

If you think about it - Caucasians are actually a mutation in the human genome. Originally humans were all very dark skinned. Red heads are so unique it is genetic mutation in the proteins they give hair and skin it's color. This is very interesting to know that I'm not just an oddball but a unique genetic mutant! :lol:

For record my great-grandmother on my mother's side was half Cherokee I believe. A lot of my grandmother's sisters have that Cherokee look as well their children and grandchildren. Sometimes I wish I had gotten that Cherokee look and Cherokee athletic ability! I'd be a hawt sexy native! :lol:

the color of skin is mainly because of pigmentation and location. Africa does not have snow nor winter.... thus dark-skinned in order to protect the skin from sun.

Yes, but Caucasians lack the same pigmentation that Africans do. Besides snow can do just as much sunburning as the beach can. When I went skiing for the first time I learned this the hard way as my face was nearly fried off from the reflection of the sun off the snow. It wasn't pretty as it was a nasty facial sunburn. After that I learned I better put high-SPF sunscreen on my face.

Not only that Inupiats live in places where there's snow year round and they are dark-skinned.

You might want to inform some of the African ski resorts of this.....It may come as quite a surprise to them.
