Dedicated to a lone Albatross who was caught in a maritime training mission
decades ago. Yet his/her memory has not been forgotten and the person
responsible for the death of the albatross was fined and restricted

The Albatross, Dolphins, and Whale, They are My Friends of the Sea
By (Nepchuck) Laurel Marie Sobol

Chief Joseph's great, great grandson James Marten did not adopt Laurel Marie
Sobol into his life and heart on one lovely warm summer day near Rogue River,
Oregon, by a fluke. He did it because it was intended to be that way as a part
of life. Laurel accepted the heart and spirit adoption with all of her heart
and soul, and it has given her heart and soul wings to fly above the worst
storms that she never thought to have existed full circle. The strength Laurel
would need in her life to do the works of the Lord, would be so big, and so
much, that she would need the loving strength of her new grandfather James
Marten. Though he left the earth in body in 1995, his great loving spirit is
strong in Laurel's heart and his wisdom carries on, just as our wise great,
great, great Chief Joseph's peaceful wisdom shines on even to this day within
Laurel's heart.
The animals of the land and sea can't speak, the mountains and rivers and trees
can't speak, and the very world we live in can't speak to say, "Help us, don't
ruin us!" Yet it is up to nature to heal itself as much as possible within it's
means, and for humans to do their part in sustaining the earth's natural beauty
and resources, keeping the earth living and beautiful while renewing the trees
and keeping the water clean. Laurel has a great love of the world and nature
and knows why James Marten adopted her into his heart and spirit as one of his
own grandchildren. Laurel is American of Irish, Italian, and Latina decent and
she is also extremely honored and proud to be called a Nimiipuu (The People),
the original name the Nez Perce called themselves before the Lewis and Clark
Expedition crew named them Nez Perce. Thank you James Marten for recognizing a
fellow spirit and heart like yours, so much so, that you took me and my mother
into your very life and made us part of yours in your world. No, it was not a
giant leap into a different world. It was a perfect fit into a perfect place
where you knew we would fit in just right…You are a gifted, wise, great man just
like Chief Joseph.
You also knew that one day, the precious stories of the Nimipuu, which were
feared to be lost, and which you knew must not be, would be returning to the
Nimipuu and the world. Perhaps you knew more than Laurel grandfather that it
would be her to be one of the very people to do this. Yes grandfather, you are
very wise indeed!
