thats how he described himself so i assume it means that he can trace his
blood line so that all his ancestors were of indian decent or I assume - he had no
european grand parents or great grand parents and on down the line --
this is my understanding - there is a tribe near us and to be a tribal member you only have to prove 10% indian ancestory - so i believe this gentleman is saying that his ancestory is 100% - like yours or my family tree...he must know his family tree.. he said his grand father or great grandfather was a medicine man ---

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
