Born in Vancouver in 1957, I spent my first several weeks
in the hospital in an incubator. Whether it was the absence from my family, or
something I was born with, my desire to reconnect with my greater family has
governed all of my life’s activities. Through experiencing family get-togethers
at my grandmother’s in Manitoba, our Bois Brule homeland; and growing up near
our Blackfoot and Cree cousins in Alberta, my insatiable desire to learn about
and meet all of our true family has consumed almost every step of my journey.
When majoring in English and creative writing, while attending university in
Alberta, it became plain to me that I needed to learn more on the subject of
our family if I were to write or speak of it to anyone. I do have two children;
my latest arrived for my fortieth birthday. Since an early age I have been a
father figure and helped raise several children, now adults. Most of my free
time now is spent digging into old books and records, or dancing at our
gatherings, or meeting with the traditional heads of our families. I began
meeting with different members and branches of our family around 1982 and have
continued this journey from coast to coast and on both sides of the border.
Carrying the Chalice Forward and other Secret Stories of North America
Book Synopsis:
Meeting my old world family connections from the St. Clair, old Masonic and Templar
original root families, of many different noble families, my curiosity to remove the veil
between the old world and the new drove me to dig very deep. My internal question of "what
is there in a name?" inspired me to keep searching until I finally discovered that
our own family is a direct paternal descendant of the King of Tara (all Ireland)
from 832 to 846. We apparently were hidden away so our uncle, the King of the Picts and of
Scotland, as well as others, could not molest our heritage. This book is a bit of the summary
of some of these discoveries and other teachings and understandings from our families.
Following the root of related names with the help of DNA and other research we will
hopefully unravel an astounding mystery that should impact many hundreds of families in
their understanding of who they truly are and what their real responsibilities are in
carrying the chalice forward.
