Pilamayaye, Nigetakiya
very touching ceremony !
if only everyone got such a ceremony, where a community takes the time to honor their dead.
I am so proud of the native americans and am glad my daughter has an indian name, what great people!
I am married to the army and my daughter is part native american..this hits home on all fronts
Native Americans are very spiritual and show honor. Giving without thinking of themselves...the website reflects this.
Thank you for sharing it.
It is a shame to see such people living in a third-world country in America.
I'm sure the Marines that watched the ceremony will never forget it.
