Halito Chukma, I'm Chief Adrian Roman. As a young boy growing up in Oklahoma in the 40’s and 50’s, I was exposed to the elders of my people. They were from another time and place, but they took me under their wing and exposed me too much information that would be lost by their passing. I’m appreciative to my father, grandfather, uncles and close friends of the family for sharing their shills with me. I honor each of them for the wisdom they were able to pass on to me. Today, as I share this information, I feel fulfilled in bringing this knowledge back to life from my heritage. I step forward and make available the unique fighting system of my American Indian people. I will carry the spear in honor of all the fallen warriors that came before me. Their spirit has entrusted me with the noble title of ‘Bas-po-Tushka’, the Knife Warrior.”
I grew up watching movies made in the 40's and 50's by Hollywood and was always embarrassed by the movie perception of American Indians. They took a little bit of information and made up the rest. The movie history was unkind to the American Indian and all the real Indians who had to live up to that image. Growing up as an Indian boy during the 1950’s in Oklahoma was difficult. Prejudice was alive and well and I was forced to fight for survival and wounded pride. Hollywood got some things right. We are proud people and our history as fighter is legendary. Now that the world is becoming smaller by global communication we see common seminaries by other countries.
The Ghost Warriors of the American Indian are the mirror image of the Eastern Ninja. In my native Choctaw language they are call Shilombish Tushka. There is a real connection between the Native Ninja and the Eastern Ninja. Most do not know that the American Indian practiced similar fighting tactics.
There are many WW I and WWII stories about how the Germans were utterly TERRIFIED of the possibility about coming up against American Indians at night in the trenches, or in the US Airborne (whether PR/Propaganda or real, The Germans believed the dangers were real) actually help bring these native ninja-like commando legends into the modern day.
Shilombish Tushka (Ghost Warriors) with the tribal rituals of their medicine man believed when you wore the Ghost Shirt, they had special powers and the guns could not hurt them. Crazy Horse, Roman Nose and others great Indian warriors believed the wearing the Ghost Shirt that was specially protected produce a phenomenon of "invincible reckless courage". Crazy Horse went into battle and his courage shocked the troops. The Ghost Warriors believed they were "undetectable" and "silent but deadly"
