Was surprised a few years back to hear on some list that Tom is a total fraud.

Never was a Stalking Wolf and his friend, grandson of Stalking Wolf was still

alive and not dead as he'd written in his books. Mighty big claim but one I

paid little mind to knowing much of what Tom wrote could not have been made up

or even read in books. There were too many pieces of my childhood that was in

part Native American. A few years before that a lady had took arrowhead making

classes from my husband. She did this as a follow up to Tom Brown's school.

She

was very pleased with it. What really blew me away was one day before I quit

working at a bank a man came in. I cashed his check, he asked why I didn't ID

him, told him he was a schoolmates father and I knew him. He asked who I was,

told him and he goes your Dad is quite a hunter. He then described to me

exactly Tom Brown's first deer hunt only it was how he knew my Dad had

hunted a

deer as a much younger man.

So eating, hunting,

Right, they are our purpose and respectful way within all life.

Its a common mind and the common good.
