I'm a North American Indigenous Native of the Mohawk tribe (Turtle Clan) born in Canada as a duel citizen of both Canada and America due to my native rights... an ex U.S. Marine injured in Iraq after spending 10 years in the desert, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.

Teach, Learn, Share

After retiring from the military I was a guest of Tibetan monks for several months as a therapeutic time "to find myself" after many years of being told what I was supposed to be therefore gaining much insight into both the simplicity of life and peace of mind as well as inner spirit. Between war and living among monks you understand quickly what is important in life, I don't believe there's any specific right or wrong way in which we should live our lives, we gain knowledge in any form of living life therefore it can't be wrong. I don't believe in judging people nor do I believe society should...
