Welcome from Scotland and I sympathise with the greying hair, none of us are getting any younger. The Colquhouns are from the west side of Loch Lomond and it is a beautiful place so you are lucky to be part of their clan as well as your own.

Very true. In that regard, you might find this book interesting. In any case, welcome to the Rabble!!

Welcome. I am Bilagaana working for the Dine' people in Arizona. The painting you have for your avatar hangs in my office - to show the long affiliation of the kilted Scots with the Native peoples.

BooShoo Ani, Mshkolahnee Manito... or as we say here in lower, slower Delaware, greetings Hawk, and welcome to X Marks. There's nothing we can do about the past so, our work today is to ensure the future, making it positive through understanding those who are and that which is around us.

Welcome MshkolahneeManito (Hawk)!

I too am of a mixed heritage of Scottish, Norwegian Saami, and Inuit so a big "Ariunngaipaa" to you from a fellow First Nations individual.

Greetings from Kalamazoo, Michigan.

My father's family traditionally summers in the north channel of Lake Huron where a significant portion of the First Nations residents are MacGregors.
