About Me
|
My full name is Mozart Blue Thundercloud McAllister. I’m a Canadian born Beaver Cree native from Northern Alberta. I was born in my grandmother’s two room log cabin where the snow was deep and the animals were plenty. As a young boy I grew up hunting and trapping with my uncles and grandfather. I’m about to share a sad but true story with you about a forgotten people, a lost tribe with a tiny handful of people remaining spread across the land of the Great White North. I’d like to compare them to a sweet little story of Gideon, the smallest tribe of the 12 tribes of Israel but yet in modern day times. This is my story, trying to keep alive the memory of one of the smallest tribes of the Cree nation, of a people with a strong spirit, a perseverant heart and a gentle nature that is as contagious as the cool winds that blow in a summer breeze.
I’m a descendant of a great Beaver-Cree chief called Pelee Low, who was my great, great grandfather. From what I have learnt through history and from family relatives is that he ruled with a gentle heart a tribe of 7 to 10 thousand people from the Peace River country all the way to Manning Alberta and beyond. Sorry for being so long winded, but to keep a long story short, I’m a poet and writer. I migrated to B.C. Canada in January 1990 where I love and live, do my art, and write my books. |
