• The Girl Who Spoke with Spirits: An American Indian's True Account

  After having moved back to the USA from Izmir, Turkiye My adopted family was Stationed at Fort Carson, Colorado and We lived in Colorado Springs until they were transfered again. I was a loner who saw things most people didn't understand. One day I wandered off quite a ways from the house down a vast sandy field with tumble weeds , cactus,yucca ,lots of cast emptiness with scattered flowers amongst patches of grass. The field was surrounded by fencing and barbed wire. I will never forget this experience as it was the first of many during the years living there. The first day the sky was so clear and blue.A gentle breeze blue by touching My cheek. I was not quite 5 years old.As the wind brushed My cheek I felt a tender hug on My shoulders...no one was there..I quickly turned around and where no one had been were 4 American Indians dressed in full Regalia 2 older Men and a Young Woman and a male Warrior. In front of Me stood a Sacred Majestic sight. A Tribal Leader, a Medicine Man and a Young Princess and a Warrior..They chose to visit Me. Behind these wonderful People stood a White Buffalo 4 horses ( one was white) and a White Wolf and a white deer. They came to visit Me but would disappear if someone came around,always promising to return..... They feared My adopted white family and would have tears in their eyes when they would have to.leave Me. The Tribal Leader would always say to Me They don't want You to know,They don't want You to know US....I only felt joy when They visited Me other than that I felt all alone...
