My great, great grandmother was a full-blooded Cherokee. I haven't done any research on my ancestors yet but I would love to someday. I am proud of my Native American heritage, on my mother's side of the family, and am greatly saddened at how they were treated by our country's government. It is truly a great shame.


Ann (pentales@esva.net), Sun Oct 17 10:10:55 EDT 1999

I just found your web site and truly enjoyed reading about the things that the Native Americans are doing. I was born in Cape Charles and called that home until graduatioin from college following WWII. Though I don't get back there very often, I still have strong feelings about the area. Keep up the good work.

I am a third grader at Northwestern Elementary School in Mardela Springs, Md. I am here to work on a book report of a tribe of indians of my choice. So I choose the Assateague Indians... Thanks for the chance to learn a lot of interesting facts and helping me with my book report.


Henry Stansbury (http//www.henry@asionline.com), Tue Feb 23 14:59:05 EST 1999

I was introduced by Quiet Storm who I met over the internet through a common interest in barrier island working decoys and their makers. The site is beautiful and very thought provoking.. almost as I expected from my limited contact with Quiet Storm. I have another reason now to love the Assateague and Chincoteague and other barrier islands.
