In Memory of Wise Owl
Chaubunagungamaug band of the Nipmuk Nation

"To our family, friends and extended native family, we wanted to let you all know of our sorrow.
As my friend Keath would say, " He has started his long journey to the sky country".
Our hearts are saddened by the news today that a very great man has crossed!
Chief Wise Owl, beloved leader of the Chaubunagungamaug people, has joined the spirit world.
We pray he will guide us all on our path of healing the Earth Mother and all her children.
To his Family and friends and to his people we send our deepest sympathy and offer up prayers this night for his journey!..."
- Wunnestu

In answer to the question, "Why so many features about 'Rednecks" or 'Hillbillies' on this site - The Rednecks and Hillbillies were originally political groups from Scotland, many of whom sought refuge in the American frontiers. Their descendants retained the terms through time to identify themselves but created a new American heritage. Their customs, medicines, lifeways, methods of subsistance, foods, folklore and, often, their physical beings are now substantially intertwined with those of Native Americans.
