Let’s talk about effigies.. is there a reason why nobody can see the humans and the birds on the rocks? Do people know about how every single stone is an artifact? That is drawn on the mountains? It’s drawn into the ground… are you not allowed to talk about that or is everyone just oblivious?

And what does Joseph Pierce think he is… He is a WHITE MAN… 😂 The only real native Americans in this country come from Arizona, New mexico and down south into mexico. Whatever the natives are in the rest of the country are…. Who knows but they are more white than natives from the color of their skin to the way they talk. That is the truth.

Most the elderly think they will have to smoke hemp, so they get the wrong impression. Hemp can be made into different types of oils and lotions or capsules. Like a safer approach

Hemp I believe is better choice in medicine for our people. It cuts down on lot medications most Natives take. I know some medications are needed, my mother is a diabetic. My dad is able to control blood pressure with a simple plant he knows to use.
