I am part Native American, though I do not agree with your label "full blood", My family were Cherokee and Hopi, although I live in England, I still have family from both tribes living in America. However, the rest of my family couldn't stand living on reservations and being treated as second class citizens so they moved. Although, my mum teaches us, my siblings too, the practices and I have a few friends like us too.
Don't feel lost or alone, because you aren't. There are actually quite a few natives on here. Maybe yahoo should dedicate a section to Native Americans. Maybe you could join an online support group.

Here is a website with regular Ohio Pow-Wow's.

This website has a list of cultural events, cultural heritage centers, and tribes in Ohio:

That should help!
Sorry to hear you are all alone. Also to add to the links listed above. Most colleges and/or universities have a Native American Student Organization. You can go there and talk with them about how to get involved in the local Native community.
Coming from a Native woman.
Take Care.

I am not native, but I feel for you. I am so sad for what has been done to to the Native Americans. I used to work with an organization called Native American Housing and Community Development. It was a non-profit based in Minneapolis. They were proactive in the native community and hosted activities to bring natives together. You could try looking for something similar in your area. I hope you find something soon. I can only imagine what it's like. Just keep searching, there has to be something out there for you.

, I myself am 3/4 American Indian, i say that because any one born in this country are native American. i agree some time i two felt alone.but in Arkansas we have the lost tribes register. also like the one Young man, there are many good sites to find pow-wows. the largest gathering of the clans is to be held near you. and do like i did just look around more people now will admit to their heritage. and we all like meeting new people ..

I'm Navajo, living on the rez in New Mexico, but I work in Arizona. One of my maternal aunts used to live in Ohio, but now she lives in NM, though off the rez, but still near it.
I'm a writer working on my stories and eventually hope to produce a novel among many things. If you have any questions or comments, you could email me.
