  1. A Warrior’s Thoughts In a past that is now lost forever, there was a time when the land was sacred, and the ancient ones were one with it. The time when only the children of the Great Spirit were here to light their fires in these places with no boundaries. When a forest were as thick as the fur of a winter bear. When a warrior could walk from horizon to horizon on the backs of the buffalo. When the deserts where in bloom, and the streams pure as freshly fallen snow. In that time when there were only simple ways, I saw with my heart the conflicts to come, and whether it was to be for good or bad, what was certain was, that there would be change. To the family and friends of Seven Hawks, So sorry for your loss. Keso

  4. Dear Ann & Ganusquah I’m so sorry to hear about Seven Hawks. I’m sure he grew up to be a handsome true warrior. I will always remember him as kind hearted artist with an outrageous sense of humor. The runt of the pack of boys with an impish smile and tender view of the world around him. I am so sorry. I will contact folks out here who still hold you all deep in their hearts – Hisami, Muriel, David Lains & Tracy Randall (one of the red-headed boys) I have one or two of his baby moccasins that I was saving to give to him or his children when I saw him next. I may still have some of his art work somewhere too. I certainly have photos I would like to send to you. Contact me when you want. You two boys will always be in my heart. My heart goes out to you. Anna

  8. Dearest Ann and Nunny, David called me today, my prayers are with you through these times. Know that Seven Hawks will always be with you and that his love is stronger than this. I will always remember that quiet little boy and his gentle ways, the way his eyes smiled through his shyness. A candle is on my alter for you all. I found this prayer today… it feels like words from Seven Hawks to you so I send them on. Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn’s rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there; I did not die.

  9. Hawk, I always loved and respected you. No matter what you were going through you always had a positive attitude. You were such an awesome person and a good man. You were the type of person that would give the shirt off your own back. It’s too bad that there aren’t more people like you. I’m going to miss your jokes and laughs. Ann and Nunny my thoughts, prayers, and love are with you. Hawk you will be deeply missed. Love, your boy Beau
