And now comes a rather nice gentleman named Ben Barnes. He’s the Second Chief of the Shawnee Tribe and no fan of my AST. All that I can say is that he does have a lot of knowledge on those who were relocated. But those of our ancestors who were assimilated I feel he has very little knowledge of. There was intermarriage! I’m dis.gusted. I’m disgusted by how descendants are treated. WE NEED PERHAPS A FIRST NATIONS DESCENDANTS SOCIETY. Dear God…..Tecumseh was so right. I would like to continue to talk with Barnes as I think that talking, not being adversarial, is the answer. having talked to the man, I can tell he has no evil motives. it is a misunderstanding. And he’s gone to far to brand the AST as fake when we have so many real descendants. I guess everyone wants to crucify Chief Don Greene and claim he has no Native blood. Nonsense. Greene is a descendant. He can tell you who was Shawnee in his ancestry. What have we all become? Fighting among ourselves. We are not the only Shawnee descendants! And we’re bigger than trying to hurt anyone’s reputation. Greene is an above board guy.
