P S looks like a very old house you are in, there.. 1890?

Hey Cyber
The house goes back to the 1830s I'am told . It has been remolded in the later 1800s because of fire I belive .Here a pic of the out side .Also those are wood panels made to look like stone or blocks .

The items you showed are nice I think your thought to her with the gifts are with love[] I want to share some things with you. As a women of mixed blood I have had many stories shared with me by my Good grandma, who was of the Blackfoot Nation. She was an angel in my life. Somewhere, sometime I was told how the some of the "names" that different people refer to Indians came from. Sir, I share this with you with love and respect to you. I have seen and read things you have posted, if I remember right you got a hair cut for your son?. I was touched by the story, I believe you to be a kind man. So I thought this through and deceided to share this with you. I was told that when the trappers would come back to the trading posts with their beaver and other animal pelts, they would get paid for them. Some of the trappers would also bring "fresh redskins" the skins of Indians and get paid. This makes many sad at hearing this story. So we are tought not to be angry but to be aware. I have been corrected on many this in my years and the people who have gifted me with the information, were giving my help. I have learned much this way. So Sir, I am sharing this with you in the same way. Please understand that I share this with you and any others here on the forum who may read this, with nothing less than respect and love for all.

Blessings to you

WOW! THANK YOU WHITEFEATHER!!!! I NEVER KNEW WHERE THAT NAME CAME FROM-"RED SKINS"! TO ME GROWING UP IN THE 50S AND WATCHING "WESTERN T. V. SHOWS" AND "WESTERN MOVIES" THE NAME "RED SKIN" WAS USED ALOT IN THESE SHOWS/PICTURES. I ALWAYS ASSUMED THIS NAME "REDSKIN" WAS USED CAUSE IT IS SAID AN INDIAN'S SKIN IS "RED."[THOUGH NOT TO ME] I NOW I KNOW THE SAD TRUTH AND I THANK YOU FOR THAT! ANOTHER THING THAT IS MIS-UNDERSTOOD [TELL ME IF YOU KNOW I AM WRONG WHITEFEATHER ,ANYONE] IS IS THE SCALPING OF PEOPLE! PEOPLE WERE ALSO PAID FOR AN INDIAN SCALP. LATTER OUT OF REVENGE SOME INDIANS DID DO THIS. JAMIIE
