To cut or not to cut

[maxx]

Lloyd Welcome to the tribe.My greatgrandfather was a Choctaw Indian.Great grandmother was Cherokee and Choctaw.I can still remember greatgrandfather singing the traditional songs to me and my brother.When we were very young.Half of my family still lives on the res in Oklahoma.I've got some ancestors.That walked the trail of tears.so If I post pack of wild Indians it's okTalk to Willy I seem to remember he posted about some of His Ancestors.That may be from around the same area as the Iroquois.If I remember my history right I think the Iroquois.Are an off shot of the Algonquins.I think they speak close to the same language.It mite be worth looking into.

Fivetrout My questions all have to do with Chinese traditions and customs.I was looking for answears to better answear your question.I seen that you posted on another thread that your wife is close to 50.And I seen that she Has a 16 year old boy.So my guess is no.Your wife probably doesn't want any more kids.She already has a male child.So Chinese customs have ben satisfied.If you and your wife do decide to have kids.Good luck.And enjoy the ride.

I'm new here and relieved from the topic name "to cut or not to cut" wasn't about circumcision! However, seeing that my girl still has a few child bearing years perhaps, what is the Chinese culture in this regard?

Chinese culture does not support circumcision.  I know because my wife's son has a habit of whipping it out whenever he feels like it, to take a piss.  Caught me off guard the first time.

ok, your excused on the wild indians bit, but... Long house and bark eaters are not the same. I am ka nien'e ke'hake (mohawk) blood, specifically Turtle clan, which according to the League, no longer exists, because we never went on a res. That's ok, I'm not worried about casino money.

Iroquois itself, like Algonquin is a language group. Not all Iroquois are blood of the League of six nations and actually, because the Cherokee are Iroquois also.
again, you are forgiven brother, just being from Michigan and growing up around Algonquin I am always reminded that the two are not related. b/c there's always some smart@ss who likes to talk about the Seneca party that tried raiding up into Wisconsin from New York, but the Brits and French had pretty much cleared out all the beaver along the way. I do know the smart@ss though, we talk at Pow wows. and that is an experience I can't wait for my wife to have
