Anpetu Waste Oyate!
>>>>-------------------------->
It is good to be writing this news for you this day, was so warmed to see that Sigmu Manitu´s family will be coming home to stay, the two lodges at the east of inipi are set up for him and his family group, as well as a small lodge for storage, food setup etc.
Welcome welcome welcome home!!! I was confused on this as well, but Sigmu Manitu is the son of Hota as we know Hota has 7 wives, two of his wives living with us currently are Running Deer and Lila Waste, for those that do not know Hota stepped down from his position as civil chief and handed that to Pejuta Long Knives, our new civil chief, as an elder though he can step in to fill when needed any position that is needed as can our women elders. That is the point of the circle, there is no beginning no end, we all play what parts are needed as needed.
Also welcome to Sigmu´s brother of arms, I believe all the men are tarn riders as well, it will be good to see more men in the sky.
Also, want to welcome our dear friends from the wild west sim, the Oglala Lakota crew, help them out with the knowledge base from the books, but remember first and foremost it is the honoring of the "memory" or history and birth from earth that underlies all we do.
We will rp with them as well in their camp from time to time our crew visited them during the Chickasaw opening and had an enjoyable time,
Medicine bundles were given as well to the Wismahi and the Oglala Lakota group, we will go visit Casmu next, relations are opening up again with the Kinyapi, and for now, we have not found viable tribal groups to rp with, as they grow that will be one of our options but we grow here first and in time we hope to host many bands, and tribes in the region.
Ok so for new people and for old lets get a list of who everyone is:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oyate: (means people) this will stand for all people
Actively rping as of late:
The Holy Horse Encampment:
Unci Wakan or just Unci~ Oldest elder and matriarch or clan mother
(Uncis own sons, or daughters have long passed, she has adopted
Hota a long time back, no one knows her age, but she carries life memories that could only be so clear one one who lived on Earth, how could this be possible...PK? perhaps) (Grandmother Elder)
Wicahpi Hota ~ Elder, Grandfather Kokopelli, and lover of music, arts, life and ....women:) he is the eldest male, and the father to Heca Mahapiya, the deceased Tatanka, and Sigmu Manitu (Elder), White Elk (young brave) Standing Bull ( young brave) and Grey mist (young maid)
Hota´s first wife died in childbirth, Morning Dawn, he took then more wives as time went on, women whose mates had died in battle, but were older, and content in their ways, they did not follow him on his journies, but keeps relations with their bands, and then the Napoktan women, they had the closest ties to Hota and the bands, as Running deer was the descent of Napoktan and Isanna, they came to live here after the tarn attacks on their tribal group there are:
Running Deer (dual character of Unci) Napoktan Isanna mix, wife 5, mother to Standing Bull and Greymist, and adopted mother to Tatanka and White Elk, as they were all young children at the time of their marriage, she cared for them as well. (Elder)
Heca as the eldest male was already out in the world, and off on his quests.
Lila Wiyan Waste, the wife of Hota´s old age, she is young, beautiful, but it is her spirit that draws her to the people, she is mute and uses sign to connect to her world quiet to her but full of wonder to that of the people. (group officer)
Pejuta Long Knives Civil Chief and medicine man he holds the way of the UtI a rare spirit creature of Gor, he has traveled south as far I believe as Pani lands, he is of Kaiila Isanna blood, and his mate I believe is Aurora they are taking over the council lodge in main camp.
Also a tarn rider, he has mastered a sleek racing tarn. He uses two steel weapons granted him in honor I believe from Pani warriors.
You will see him often on the hills looking over the land.
************
Sons of Hota with mates:
Heca Mahapiya Wolakota - Medicine Chief of the People oldest son of Hota and a twin, that twin has passed, older brother then to all of Hotas other sons and daughters.
Mate to:
Wambli Wiyan Washaka (Rose) Medicine woman and (Elder) she is of outside blood, earth blood, Irish and Scandinavian descent, past medic on earth, mother to:
Lily first born (will be played by Lisanne)
Star Girl and Star Boy (toddler twins)
Adopted mother to:
Moon, Mini Lila, and Washaka and soon another:)
************
The Manitu Encampment (son of Hota)
Sigmu Manitu holds the two lodges to the east of the inipi, they will hold his mate, his family and captive and near him his blood brother, as I do not know the full story I would love to know more of this, and it will be written into the record, what we do know is he spent much of his time in the area of the North, the northern forests and potentially up into the area of the Torvie lands, he is building a strong camp here his daughter will share the lodge to his right with her new mate.
Members of the Lodges:
Wotaka Nuttah
Nimawah Mahpiya Zitkala
(more to come)
**************
The Mato Encampment
Home of Running Bear and Star, we will learn more of them over time, what I do know is that her mate is a strong warrior and she is a medicine woman, they will hold the hill just above the waterfall near the gardens.
What I also know is that they are wonderful people..so send me in your stories.
They are Hunkapi relatives or adopted, and then are as "close as our own" adoptions are serious business.
(more to come)
**************
The Singing Arrow
Band of Brothers
This is our warriors camp, they can be found in main camp, but also have lodges at vision quest and small travel lodges when on patrols,
Iktomi Isne: War Chief and Elder albeit he is about 28 full years, he is the war chief for the people and nephew of Hota, his lodge consists of Wakinyan Osieca, adopted sister, she is on medicine walk.
He was engaged to Moon, (rp has stalled so not sure there)
Ohanzee Otaktay blood brother to Iktomi, he is from another band that was under siege near the snake river, he is now with us he carries a silent rage against the wasicun most especially their slavers.
Franco Raincloud, warriors ( men that are not mated, share a warriors lodge as they join the society.)
the young braves are also part of this, White Elk and Standing Bull they are often fishing and hunting all men move on patrols and may be gone for long periods of time
Other members, are unknown as this can be a secret society, among men, so that the care of the people can be given no matter where they are.
New warriors are needed so it is suggested to talk to Iktomi if you wish approval into this society.
their motto? "So the People May Live"
***************************
The Animals or spirit creatures of the Voltai:
Manitu...there can be only one..lol..he has been our longest animal player here and is the lead of the pack,
Pica (zooby) will be seen patroling the area
Tsunka witiko, Kaiila who plays many animals from deer, to manitus, to kaiila etc..
Darth kaiila player proud black stallion

the agleskas, the great lizards and past mato players and other..

****************************
Captives of the Kaiila...now this list is sketchy as I have not seen an inahan in camp for sometime, please if you are still rping let us know, if not now might be the time to remove yourself from the tribal list.
Norwaky will play not only an inahan when needed but a free woman and animal again we all do what we can.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>------------------
OUR HOMES AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE ON LODGES
-----------------------<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
The Lodge is owned and managed by the woman..this means men!!
I say this nicely,
Knock on the lodge pole and wait to be given entrance!
Tribal life lacks much in privacy do not enter a lodge that is not yours
unless you have permission.
always..even if you see no one on mini map, knock first in rp
It also means women, give of your lodge in food and care, do not attend to men alone, they may sit at the edge of the loge with the flap open, traditional.
Your lodges are all provided for, food, shelter, water basin, tub, chore mats, captive rug, jugs, etc..you have the ability to move things, if your items are on a rezzer however movements ceases.
The furs provide props and food, as do your chore mats.
Always share of your goods, food, meats, skins, made goods and services, trade and barter to outsiders etc..or sometimes to each other, but no one is richer then the next, a lodge with more often means, more people to the lodge. For instance a lodge of rose and hecas, will host all the unmarried children or elders in need of care besides themselves and sometimes guests. Traditional
Always when PREPARING FOOD make a SPIRIT PLATE to give to the elements, the spirits etc...first.
Children, captives, women the meeker and elderly all get fed first....contrary to gor? you bet..people of the memory would not cease to act accordingly. A WARRIOR IS STRONG he makes sure the people are cared for first...
Women when dealing with wasicun..or outisders, use your heads men in the lodge..help her by showing..to outsiders the grace of generosity.
We are giving people we give of all we have we share equally.
***************************
Nobility is tantamount to Gorean behavior for free men and women, even more so for First Nations people so let them know you by the art of your heart and the strength of your words and bonds.
***************************
DRESS AND BEHAVIOR
@@@@@@@@@@@@
Clothes for men and women are dependant on the days tasks..
We will provide for all of your needs in this ask...
the new dresses for women are for council, visits, pow wow special events, or when a woman wants to be courted..lol.
the torn leathers and such you often see me wearing when doing hard work, are for dealing with animals, or for the hunt, when we have to gut and clear the hides..
in between dresses, of shorter length or simple a frame are worn for daily use, the lovely dresses I see many get from sedora, are still to fine for everyday, they are for special occasions or traveling etc..
Men too, you have chaps, loins, the tarn men suits, pow wow clothes, your goal is to move silently when hunting, clothes for purpose, ask another elder
We are modest people but that does not mean non sexual on the contrary, we love deeply and passionately...
but free women until mated, follow our courting laws.
Women are modest and humble, yet proud..a paradox? yes..we let others compliment us..that is the way.
Men your women work a lot to prepare your regalia it is not uncommon for her to spend much time ...well prepping you, lol..we like our men to look nice, you should listen first..and speak with wisdom. we will follow you anywhere that way.
****************
TRIBAL UNITY
we are a tribe
it runs circular
as the whole world is a circle a hoop
we do not take from another
what we are unwilling to give
we all help when we can
and sacrifice when we must
we do not steal from one another
we do not take what is not ours take
we treat the land and the women as one,
we walk softly on her, or care for her
as mother, mate, ...friend
we respect our elders, our men and women
for we too will walk the long path of their moccasins
if we are lucky and we will know when we look back just how
hard that walk was.
Men are strong, of heart, spirit, muscle however does not make right
RIGHT makes RIGHT
Children are sacred
we take no more then what we need
we give more..without thought
we come together in distress and in times of joy
WE ARE ONE
WE ARE A TRIBE
WE ARE FAMILY
AND here......WE ARE HOME!
