| Fetishes: |
|
Shadowland - Some of the NICEST people to buy from! Most of my own personal fetishes have come from here. Tell Anna & Joe “Hello” from me. Indian Summer - I have not purchased any fetishes from this site, but the people seem very nice, plus have a great selection and prices. ZuniFetishCarvings - I have purchased a few fetishes from Gary’s Ebay auctions, in fact I believe my very first fetish came from him. I do not know if he is still running auctions, but visit his site. SUPER nice to deal with! |
| Turquoise Identification: |
|
Skystone Trading - EXCELLENT turquoise information and identification page! They also have a selection of fetishes available. |
| Symbolism: |
|
I need your help here. I know that I have been to many sites with the color meanings and animal fetishes symbolism, but at this time am unable to locate those sites. If you happen to know of a great site where this information may be found, please email me with that info. Thank you and in the meantime, here are a few sites that I have found so far. Great Dreams - This site has TONS of links to information regarding each specific tribe as well as symbolism, prayers and traditional stories and legends, plus much more. Native American Spirituality - This site provides some information on the symbolism of Medicine Wheels. |

NAAH’s Home Page - This link will take you to information on how to contact Laurie Beth Duffy. She does research helping to find your tribal roots. I once read an article by her on another site and will try to find that one again…it is the one that opened my eyes to my heritage. |

Indian Country Today – "The nation's leading American Indian news source." |
| Special Places From My Childhood: |
|
De Grazia’s Gallery In The Sun - We took a school field trip here and I still remember the large TURQUOISE inlaid steps inside! AMAZING! San Xavier Mission - This is a place that we visited often when I was a child and we lived in Tucson... VERY beautiful! Old Tucson - We used to go here fairly often and I always loved it…like stepping back in time, plus to see where SO many of the old western movies were filmed was neat. Grand Tetons, Wyoming - This is a very special place to me. When I was a child and we traveled, I felt as if I belonged here. When I think of my "special place" to relax, what I picture is the Tetons.

| Animals/Nature |
|
NRDC - A great site for information on the Kermode or White Spirit Bear of British Columbia. Here you can find worldwide locations that need your assistance and not only by donations, but just emailing to the right people to have earth damaging actions stopped. Here is another link to one of their projects called BioGems. Spirit Bear Youth Coalition - Another wonderful site with information on the special White Spirit Bear... this one aimed towards the younger generation, but enjoyable for the adults too! Land of Vos - This site belongs to a wonderful lady who is very special to me. Her name is Carolyn Swicegood and she raises a small flock of Vosmaeri Eclectus Parrots. We have one of her females who happens to be one very spoiled bird! This is the most extensive site for Eclectus that I have found on the web…and I am not just saying that because I am biased. Carolyn has information here that even non-bird owners can find useful regarding nutrition and health, plus you have the added bonus of viewing these gorgeous birds! My husband Michael is also the Webmaster for this site. Wildlife on Easy Street – This is our local wild cat rescue and refuge. They have great information on all of the wild cats of the world. Visit to see their cat family and all of the good that they do for these creatures. Zoe’s Page – This is where you will get to see pictures of our Vosmaeri Eclectus, Zoe. I have not updated it in a while but will eventually be adding more pictures of her. |
| Healing/Herbs |
|
Bach Flower Remedies - Natural flower remedies for better health. Burt’s Bees - Great products and ALL natural! GSE - Grapefruit Seed Extract, WONDERFUL stuff! Herbal Medicine Bag - Good source of herb information. Life Tree - EXCELLENT! Try the Home Soap All Purpose Household Cleaner…I have used it every day for YEARS on my face and for washing my hands and body. It is super gentle and moisturizing due to the citrus extracts but is not greasy. |
| Pregnancy/Babies |
|
Maya Baby Wraps - Here you will find the HIGHLY rated (by parents) baby slings and pouches. I have one waiting for our baby and cannot wait to use it! Breastfeeding.com - This site covers questions and answers to the many questions that nursing mothers may have, as well as products available for purchase and just about anything that you can think of regarding nursing! Dr.Sears – This is a wonderful site for extensive and sensible information regarding pregnancy and raising children. Epinions – This site has "epinions" on just about any product, but for myself the best use that I have found is to research how parents like baby products. I have made my baby registry choices and changed some of my original choices because of the great info found here. The opinions come from the people who use them, not the people who get paid to use them. La Leche League - Find answers and support for breastfeeding here. You can also find your local meeting and contact information. Bellymasks - Check out this unique art form! Has instructions for do-it-yourself or you can order kits. |
