Laurie, Aho! Mitakuye Oyasin! I am Native from both sides, mom and dad. All my grandfathers were Chiefs, I am a lineal descendant! I also come from priests and medicine men/women.
I just returned from a funeral. We talked about the show and all said the same thing, it was fluff and we were contemptuous. We're sick of talk from the media and government committees. They wanted to exterminate us back then and nothing has really changed.
I am involved in two class action lawsuits against the feds right now; they continue to steal to this day and it's blatant damnit. I've not ever mentioned here what I deal with every single day, the fight that has to be fought. Only death will steal the fight from me. To refuse the fight would be dishonor.
