@tawasi wow what a mix you have ... interesting. well i have 1/2 native american and 1/4 other indigenous and 1/4 celt so i understand the possible loss of red road. i was not raised on rez but that doesn't mean all is lost. it sound as if you are finding your way, i'm not sure how many of my native peeps actually say red road, i've heard more people outside of that call it that. either way i'm glad you are off the booze and listening to nature. that is definitely a major step.
