Silver Hawk...A Warrior's Spirit

Silver Hawk A Warrior's Spirit.

I was born in 1863 in Dark Moons Village. I am Oglala Lakota and I was first called Igmu (Cat). Later on I was given the name Silver Hawk. I had a very rough first lifetime. I fought against the Seventh Calvary at Bighorn and I Ghost danced at Wounded Knee Creek. In my life I saw my people slaughtered twice and I lost everyone I loved. I thought I could escape my misery by jumping from a cliff.

I was wrong.

I was born AGAIN on Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. This time I'm Oglala Lakota / Latino. My mother was from the Andes Mountains in S. America. A seer named Jack Many Horses told everyone I was coming before I was born. My father John I-Stand-Proud Argent thought he was crazy and told him to quit telling everybody. He wouldn't shut up and my dad killed him and went to prison for 13 years. Mi Mamita, my mother, she took me to Queens New York. I had a 144 years worth of memories in my head but I didn't tell anybody. I remembered everything that happened in my first life. I suffered a lot of nightmares because of it.

I joined a gang called LOS CABALLEROS. I didn't really want to but I didn't want to fight every day either. I'd been in intensive Martial Arts Training so I ended up being the Leader of L.C., Warlord. The police chased me every day. This one cop named Frank chased me 28 times and couldn't catch me. I run fast and that's why LOS CABALLEROS started calling me CHEETAH.

Well, it didn't last. I got into trouble and since I belong to the Great Sioux Nation and I was a juvenile, they sent me back to the reservation. I didn't know what I was going to do there. I didn't want to go. They still have the stories and the old prophecy about me being a RETURNING WARRIOR from the old days but I'm just me so it's a little embarrassing. Not only that, I can't be the great tribal leader they're looking for until I get clean and sober.

I'm not the warrior I was in my first life but I'm still a warrior.

I keep getting into trouble and I can't seem to get out of it. To make things worse I have a twin brother who looks just like me but he was raised on the rez. He looks exactly like me but we are like night and day. The problem (for him anyway) is that sometimes the cops and bad guys mix us up and they usually get him instead of me. He's a star basketball player at his H.S. so he really hates me when that happens.

I'm trying really hard to straighten my life out but it's hard. In one year I lost three people who were very close to me but I have a son, so I'm trying to stay alive.

I could tell you more but if I kept going I'd tell you enough to WRITE SIX BOOKS WORTH.......!

Tribal Logo.

I started writing this series of books when my daughter was a year old. I've been asked to publish them but didn't want to follow the traditional method of publishing. Why? Because of the content of these books, I didn't want them altered in any way.

"The Crow Brought the Message" is from an ancient Ghost Dance song. The Ghost Dance was brought to the plains Indians by Wavoka, a Paiute prophet. Wavoka claimed that if Indians danced and did no harm that the old ways would return. He claimed the Earth would roll up like a giant green carpet, the buffalo and wild game would come back and all the old warriors would return to live again.

The SILVER HAWK WARRIOR series deals with the concept of...what if? What if the Ghost Dance worked? What if an ancient warrior came back today? In these times?

What if the Warrior came back as a boy on Pine Ridge and his father ends up incarcerated and his mother takes him to Queens, New York? His people had a prophecy saying that he would come back but the prophecy doesn't mention that he'd wind up leading a street gang, running and jumping the roof tops of New York. And the Seventh Precinct cops are chasing him.

He knows who he is. His name is Joseph Silver Hawk Argent. His people call him Cetan Mazaska. His gang calls him Cheetah. They all say...he can never be caught.

Cheetah is seventeen years old but he has a hundred and forty six years of memories in his mind. The Lakota want him to come home. The gang wants him to stay in New York. He struggles with his identity. Can he ever be what the people expected him to be? Will they accept him?

Can Cheetah ever go home? And now that he's been in the city for thirteen years, what will he do on the reservation when he gets there?

These books are told from the Indian's point of view. As the events of Silver Hawk's first lifetime unfold, you get to read about life in the village, the Battle of the Greasy Grass (Bighorn), Wanagi Wacipi (Ghost Dance) and the Massacre at Wounded Knee all...from a young warrior's point of view. It was very important to me to not have a big time publisher hack this up. The messages in these books are going to come through as The Real Truth. Plus, you get to go along for an enjoyable adventure at the same time. It's funny. It's sad. It mixes the old with the new telling this story in a completely unique way, never been done before.

Enjoy the journey.
