Osiyo? Ciamar a tha sibh?

Tha mi nam neach-ealain agus is toil leam a bhith a’ cuideachadh.

‘S feàrr leàm a’ Ghàidhlig “ooo-ghen” ach tha Gàeilge “Ay-den” Glè Mhath cuideachd.

I’m Aodhàn (Pronounced Ooo-hen in Scottish Gàidhlig and Ay-den in English) I grew up participating in my Native American culture and got involved in my Celtic culture in my late 20's I have been learning Gàidhlig since 2018 and look forward to the day I can teach it to others. I am Cherokee and as enrolled tribal member of the United Cherokee Aniyunwiya Nation (State recognized) my products are Native American Made and Protected by the Native American Arts and Craft Act of 1990 I was born female, I am Tar-ghnèitheach or Crossed-Souled, Two-Spirit . Although I live a masculine life I rely on my lessons from my years as Erica, to be the person I am today. This balance helps me perform my community duties as I can do the work of both Men and Women. I have been officiating marriages since 2013. I have background in Taxidermy and a Doctorate in Ancient Theology. My passion for life comes from my Native American and Scottish Ancestry. I excel in creative expression so if your world feels black and white, I will bring you a rainbow of color and culture. My Cherokee Ancestors lived in Rusk, Cherokee County Texas. Their ancestors came from the Spartensburg areas of South Carolina and traveled by covered wagon to Texas in the late 1800's to live in community there, My Great Grandfather is listed as an Indian Citizen on his WW1 draft card. My father's mother's side of the family still primarily lives in Oklahoma and Texas.Issac shown here lived a traditional life of farming. One of our ancestry records for him is his WW1 Draft card that has him marked as an Indian Citizen, he had dark skin, black hair and blue eyes his photo and draft card can be viewed in the ancestor section below. By serving in 1918 he earned his citizenship. It wasn't until 1923 that we are Natives had citizenship in our own Country. My grandmother would tell me stories of her grandmother Laura using traditional healing to be a midwife and was often called in the middle of the night to help the women with Childbirth and other ailments in her community.
