If you've reached your endpoint become proactive. Become a congress member and represent your People. Don't be a victim. Take charge of your destiny. I'm a Lakota and I'm learning law. My goal is to enter politics and change what can be changed. The road is long and tough to travel with hard times ahead but still doable. Congress controls the laws pertaining to Native American issues. Join congress and change the laws.
Wow. I'm from Kauai and same issues prevail.....your attitude is exactly what is needed. Send your children to law school and get it back. Culture is neccessary but it won't get back what you've lost. More power to you.
I have always felt love and admiration of Native Americans - and when I learned what had happened to them - I was so angry, then I felt a deep sense of loss - their loss IS my loss. Thank you for sharing the truth behind the origins of the "holiday" I was brought up being taught was a day of "thanks". I've known for years it wasn't a day to celebrate, but until now I did not know it's true origin. Thank you for sharing. I wish I had met him.
He will truly be missed. I have been caught up in personal strugals over the last few years and lost touch I didn't know he had passed. every time I hear him talk I am reminded of my grandfather he was half NC Tuscarora and passed in 93 he was my best friend I miss him every day and strive to be half the man he was. hearing this moved me to tears both for Red Crow and my Grandfather, Thank you
I dont think this person will be left this world for too long, the spirit is incredibly strong, he has come through too much keep watch, keep the soul light burning.
