Football.

It's so exciting that the Neah Bay Reds are going to the Tacoma Dome to play in the State B Football Tournament. First of all I wish them good luck, play hard, and WIN! In my book you are going to find that I write about the Neah Bay Red Devils playing football. Neah Bay has always been an enthusiastic town when it comes to supporting the youth.

Only one real Native song.

A respectful Makah lady lived to be in her early hundreds (100's). She passed away in the year of 2001. I would like to recongize her for teaching my son Anthony a song. My son and I would visit her at home, she had the patients to teach my then five (5) year old son. This is the only real Native American song that is written in my book.
Perhaps in the next book an addition will be made - A real Makah Family song. (*_-)

A portion of the BOOK.

The Star Fire Crew had exited the cave just minutes ago, they looked down at the cave and smoke was still billowing out of it. They turned around being in utter shock, of what took place just minutes ago. There stood Joseph Ta*Hay*Yasip Miller in front of them. He was standing before them his arms extended out, his palms facing the sky. Joseph then turned left to make a complete circle. To show that he would leave all of this behind him (A Native American tradition). Joseph fell to his knees. Praying and giving thanks to God for giving him the power to fulfill the calling upon his life. He completed and won the biggest battle ever recorded in Indian History!

1). What is a Pook Man?



There is a true legend about a Makah Mask that exists to this day.


I asked a local artist for a story behind the "Pook Man" mask. He told me this, "A fisherman went missing and the Makah people looked for him. Not finding him after a long intense search. This fisherman was not going to give up. He fought for his life, the fisherman arouse to the top of the ocean. Out emerged his lips releasing air 'Poooook'." This artist told me more but you get the picture. If you would like more info on this legend come to the Makah Museum.

My first posting

This book was so fun to write. You will find that it has an element of family fun . Dinners and family gatherings are a big part in this book. You might get hungry at times, Smile.

The book introduces Joseph's family at the beginning starting with Fawn and her childhood. And proceeds to the dark days that they all endure together; the battle with the "Pook Men" and "Nicolai Vain". The battle takes place up at The Cape Flattery Trail.

More to come later, please let's get the word out about this Blog Page. Truly it would be appreciated.
