OLD NDN STORIES

Wow these Native American women are a force to be reckoned with. I just couldn't believe my eyes and ears of what I saw and heard about these "PISTOL Packin MAMMAS". 

All the Apache women I met pack with them real live man killing handguns. One Manawahine (Power Woman) Apache Grandmother shoots straight with a 9mm Parrebellum which is no popgun. I saw with my own eyes the wife of a Cherokee draw and shoot a 41 Magnum. It was as big as a cannon. The Cherokee Husband told me the reason, "In a gunfight the other guy has his eye on the man and when he thinks he has got the drop he's blown away by the woman!" wow what a togetherness way of staying alive in a marriage. 

Another story I saw before my own eyes was about a sharp-shooter "Annie Oakley" style Cherokee woman in Missouri. We had just returned from a sweat-lodge and were greeted by this pistol packin Mama out with a torch and a 380 Revoler chasing a couple of Raccoon around the house and eager to blow their heads off. Now I had the good fortune to listen to a story about this Pistol Packin Mama from Missouri, it went like this. 

She was out near the sweat-lodge when she spied a snake trying sneak into the lodge. So she up and fires away with her 380 SW Special and blows the snake in half. At this point in the story I had trouble hearing right, what I remember was 3 bullets went into the sweat-lodge evenly spaced which was very fortunate for those inside. I believe there were only a few people so they were spaced well apart. Kia Ora to the Spirit guides cause the bullets went between the folks sitting in there praying real hard. How does all this feel for me, well I'm mighty careful around Apache women and the pistol packin Cherokee Ladies. Amen. So tell the story by Hemi Half Fox.

2ND STORY

We were on a hunt one day for Malu (Red Kangaroo pictured) on we came across a male and female. The female was behind the male which stood 6ft+. At the time they where feeding, so both were hunched over and the female became nerves and looked up, it was half the size of the male Malu. 

I was driving my 2003 XT Ford station wagon, with 1 shooter in the front passenger side and had 1 shooter in the back. The young man in the back had the rifle and tried to shoot the female in the head but when he had his shot the male Malu just lifted his back enough to block the bullet and was hit in the back and did not even flinch. 

Normally they would run off at the sound of gun fire but the Malu staid in place and did not move and the female also staid in place. So the young man had another shot with the male Malu again lifting his back to stop the bullet but this time the female started to move and the male followed. What the male Malu was teaching us was how to protect and respect all women. This is part of our ways as they teach us law as well. This is a lesson we must remember that we as tribal people must protect and show respect for our women and mothers and also for Mother Earth. - Owen Torres
