In Defense of Joe the Plummer!!

Boy, news reports are saying the Obama campaign or staffers or someone connected to the Obama group is looking into Joe's tax records and bank accounts.... ok, now it appears reporters are checking to see if he's a dead beat dad...say what? Anyone who illegally supplies or accepts this type of info ought to be prosecuted!! How dare anyone request this type of information to not only make it public but to smear an average ordinary citizen due to election activities...where have these folk's brains gone!!

Some heads better roll if this true!! And I'm not talking about just getting fired, there needs to be criminal prosecution for anyone doing that!!

That's worse than these *termination packages* for CEOs on Wall Street!!

and on another note:

This money give away, Obama campaign is talking about, sharing the wealth. Let's see I've heard figures like $500.00 to $1,000.00...so what exactly do they figure this is going to buy today? Not much!!

Give us JOBS!! Dignity comes from working!!

And hanging a Palin effigy!! well, if she were a Black Palin those folks would have been prosecuted! it is in bad taste Halloween or not! TAKE IT DOWN!!

Thank you Whoopi! let's hope folks have something better to talk about than Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palins clothes!! I think they both ought to wear blue jeans and shirts or sweaters if they want to relate to the WORKING class!! Or deer skin dresses to relate to Indians!! Sorry PETA you're out of bounds objecting to that, Indians traditionally wore animal skin clothing...all the clothes complainers did was force the RNC to pay out a ton of money on unnecessary *clothes* for Palin...think of how those funds could have helped someone in REAL need! In fact, how many folks could have been helped with all these campaign funds, currently it's all going to 4 people...tsk, tsk...I think this has all really gotten out of hand! Let's spread that wealth around....:)

Americanization of Native Americans

Americanization can refer to the policies of the United States government and public opinion that there is a standard set of cultural values that should be held in common by all citizens. Education was and is viewed as the primary method in the acculturation process. These opinions were harshly applied when it came to Americanization of Native Americans compared to immigrant populations who arrived with their "non-American traditions". The Americanization policies said that when indigenous people learned American customs and values they would soon merge tribal traditions with European-American culture and peacefully melt into the greater society. For example in the 1800s and early 1900s, traditional religious ceremonies were outlawed and it was mandatory for children to attend English speaking boarding schools where native languages and cultural traditions were forbidden. The Dawes Act of 1887 , which allotted tribal lands to individuals and resulted in an estimated total o...

Indian Boarding Schools - the US Solution to the Indian Problem

American Indian Boarding Schools Haunt Many by Charla Bear This is the first in a two-part report. For the photos with this piece and the rest of the story: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=16516865 May 13, 2008 Col. Richard H. Pratt founded the first of the off-reservation Native American boarding schools based on the philosophy that, according to a speech he made in 1892, "all the Indian there is in the race should be dead." CORBIS 'Kill the Indian...Save the Man' According to Col. Richard Pratt's speech in 1892: "A great general has said that the only good Indian is a dead one, and that high sanction of his destruction has been an enormous factor in promoting Indian massacres. In a sense, I agree with the sentiment, but only in this: that all the Indian there is in the race should be dead. Kill the Indian in him, and save the man." From Need to 'National Tragedy' Early in the history of American Indian boarding schools, the...

UKB and Cherokee Nation Today

Hello, everyone – I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and didn’t overdo too much. It was a foodfest in my neighborhood and it was really fun! In this installment we will bring the story of the UKB and the Cherokee Nation to the present. As the Cherokee Nation began to recover its sovereign powers in the 1970s, after having being squelched for most of the twentieth century by the “bureaucratic imperialism” of the BIA as the judge in the Harjo case described it, the UKB was dwindling. As the Cherokee Nation elected its first Chief since statehood, developed a superseding Constitution, reinstated its citizens, reconstituted its Tribal Council (also a result of the Harjo case), established Cherokee Nation Industries and investigated other economic development enterprises, the UKB receded and was basically defunct by the end of the 1970s. But in 1979, there was a particularly nasty runoff in the Principal Chief’s race between incumbent Ross Swimmer and his opponent, Jim Gordon. Swi...
