New Site Debut: The Native American Tatanka Returns
Hau Kola! Hello, my friends, in the Lakota Native Language, which means “Hello!” To all the loyal fans of The Native American Tatanka, I must apologize for the downtime of NativeTatanka.com. Sometimes, situations arise that are out of your control, and that was certainly the case here. Since I have always been introduced as Tatanka in the wrestling world, it made perfect sense to use it for my domain name. Vince McMahon himself always introduced me as The Native American Tatanka, so NativeTatanka.com was a natural choice. Thankfully, I have been able to secure full ownership of the name and likeness of Tatanka for wrestling and merchandise—a rare blessing in this industry, and one I thank the Creator God for.
When we first launched NativeTatanka.com, we had a fantastic partnership with ScoopsWrestling.com, the #1 Internet wrestling site at the time. My webmaster, Al Isaacs, did an incredible job designing and running the site. Unfortunately, when Scoops Wrestling was sold to Snowball.com, things took a turn. After a period of downtime, I was informed that Snowball claimed ownership of my domain, even though I owned the rights to the name Tatanka. They wanted me to purchase it back from them, which was entirely unreasonable. However, the truth always prevails. Today, I am proud to announce that NativeTatanka.com is officially under my legal ownership and management once again!
A Lesson in Truth and Integrity
Let this be a lesson: when you stand for the truth, the truth will stand with you. Trying to run your life or business through deception, dishonesty, or by taking advantage of others will always lead to downfall. It’s not a matter of if, but when. Running your life with integrity is the only way to ensure lasting success.
Connecting with Native Communities
The past few months have been a blessing, as I’ve had the chance to spend significant time with my Native brothers and sisters at various Pow Wows throughout Florida. The Seminole Tribe of Florida, the only unconquered tribe in the world, hosted several of these events. I had the honor of attending Pow Wows at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, their reservation lands in Tampa, the Chasco Festival in New Port Richey, and the Brighton and Big Cypress Reservations.
At these events, I had the privilege of speaking to Native youth. My message focused on staying in school, avoiding drugs, and embracing health and fitness. I also emphasized the importance of loving those who love you, choosing the right friends, and setting career and life goals that align with integrity and hard work. I reminded them that we are all unique, with our own fingerprints that symbolize our individuality and God’s special plan for each of us. It has been a true honor to connect with my people not just as Tatanka, but as Chris Chavis—a fellow Native American dedicated to uplifting the next generation.
Preparing for the UK Tour and Beyond
Looking ahead, I’m gearing up for a big tour of Europe, with a full month of wrestling in the United Kingdom. This tour includes about 28 working days out of the 31, and I’ll be taking my family along for the journey. After the tour, we’ll have four days to enjoy the sights and culture of the UK. Traveling abroad is always a humbling experience, reminding me of how blessed we are to live in the United States.
When I return to the States on July 3rd, I’ll jump straight into tours in Wisconsin, Ohio, and Boston. There’s also the possibility of another tour in Saudi Arabia, pending contract negotiations. After the busy schedule, I’ll get a chance to relax with my family and church members in the beautiful Florida Keys, staying at Hawks Cay Resort—a favorite spot for rest and rejuvenation.
The Return of NativeTatanka.com
I’m thrilled to reconnect with my fans through the newly revamped NativeTatanka.com. The site is packed with exciting features created just for you. I’ve always believed in taking my time to make the right decisions, guided by God’s hand. Offers have come and gone, but I’ve waited for the perfect opportunity—not one motivated solely by money, but by purpose and timing. Good things truly come to those who wait.
Patience builds character, persistence, and faith. It allows us to appreciate the blessings we receive and reminds us to be thankful for the positions of fame, authority, or influence we are given. Moving too quickly can lead to destruction, but waiting on God’s plan ensures lasting success.
Gratitude for My Fans
To all my fans, I wish you the best in your personal lives. May you achieve the desires of your heart and experience the abundance that the Creator God and Jesus have planned for you. Thank you for your continued support and loyalty. Spread the word: The Native American Tatanka is back on the War Path, and the Pow Wow has just begun!
In Lakota words, “Pilamia”—Thank you!
Tatanka
