Welcome back to the Indigenous Internet Chamber of Commerce (IICOC).
Here's a true Story.
You here alot a news these days about Myspace.com, and from what I heard, I wasn't interested in learning much more about myspace. Until...
In early May, my good friend Etta came over and said "Larry, your gonna build a Myspace today!" I told her I wasn't interest because of what I had heard and she then took me by my hand and to Myspace.com and showed me something I'll never forget.
She showed me home to over 100,000 Indigenous people. I will remember this forever. She then took me to the Native Pride Group and at that time it had 12,600 American Indians. I said "WOW", and she said "Are you interested in gettting to know them? |
That Saturday, I built the IICOC a space, and only took me about 8 hours to do. I still wasn't sure what I was doing but knew I was going to reach them Indians. That's so funny!
Then after all that, I happen to sign up to over 47 different Indigenous groups representing our Indigenous people in the whole Hemisphere. That's all good but, I noticed one thing missing? There was not one space where all all 100.000 could be. So there is was! The new "Indigenous of the Western Hemisphere". Then so, another 8 hours and today we have it.
We now have exposure to over 100.000 Indigenous Family members! No Borders! I'm still learning but for sure I will be starting our first blog in just a fews days. LOL

I would like to thank Mr. Derrick Nelson, President of Consumer Humanity for becoming our Fiscal Sponsor. The show is about to begin, I can finaly say that.
I want to welcome Ms. Jenny Lightfoot to our staff. Our new Program Developer.
So much is happening, I will keep you posted. Larry
