People need to wake up in this country. Now that this stinking government is affecting us whites, a lot of us are finally opening our eyes to how tyrannical our government is and has always been. I'm an exception. I've always sided with the Native Peoples of this continent ever since I was a child and read of the injustices that have been done. I hope that the people as a whole become enlightened soon. Become aware of their surroundings and the evil which is our government.

Great comment. It is crucial that white people educate themselves about these issues and speak up when needed. Institutional racism is practiced by the mass media in America to brain wash citizens that people of color are the problem. All the while allowing rich old white people to rob us blind. Same old story. Greed rules!

In regards to quality of life, one ounce of Native American wisdom is worth more than all modern commerce combined. All indigenous wisdom is far superior to today's mechanistic existence. How can this decline be possible? A Chumash woman told me we are moving across the dark side of the universe, headed for a new dawn.

So much hate from redman. Unemployed redman.

@SkidRowJosephine Are u nothing more than an ABUSER using the internet to inflict your pain and sadness on others (A TROLL) or do you actually have a clearly and coherently thought out reason to say such horrrible things about Indigenous people working hard to help their people heal from and stop genocidal acts and cultural annihilation? Really...What can you possibly say to support your mindless acts of unkindness and utter lack of respect? Do you not feel respected? Why do you think that is?

[TheWiindigo]

@SkidRowJosephine This is simply NOT TRUE. We are a group of people who are willing to put our lives on the line so that our people may live, so that our cultures may survive, so that our babies may be raised within their traditional nurturing loving culture knowing what a good father is, what a good mother is, we even are willing to risk our lives to protect our Sacred Sites where our deceased Loved Relations rest.So many have died trying to help the people. It's sad you fail to see this Good.

@SkidRowJosephine AIM is one of the main reasons (not saying it is the only progressive native group) that native culture is still around, I don't know what your problem is but stop slandering them so you can confuse people that don't know about them

It's not a white or indian thing, it's a human thing, we are all in it together, a great teacher showed us the four sacred colors of man combine to make the color of the earth, we must stand together to do what is right
