Reservations.....

[between2worlds]

Read her posts. It seems to me there are contradictions... I've seen her say she has been told by her mother and grandmother she has native ancestors (ndn DNA thread), in another place she says she isn't indian (the what's up with men thread).

*confused look when I read those posts*

About that point I quit reading her. (as they used to say on usenet *kerplunk*)

It's easy to make ignorant noise on a subject you know nothing about.

I know.


Let's ask her?

LOL!

Just

She was just trying to defend someone she thought was getting bullied. Without know what she was talking about,decided to get nasty about it.

WhoME , She will not engage. If she does ,it will be generilizations. She knows she has overstepped her bounds.

She made those comments only to insite anger and try to slam people. As with many powwow.comrs, she is just here for the entertainment level. Obviously not apart of any native community. The sad thing is who knows what the original poster thinks or will do.

As for myself , let me apologize for going there with her. Many of the statements I made were for effect only. I do not believe we should do the things I suggested. They were to make a point.
Peace

Wow, with all those handouts we supposedly get.. I wish they'd hand out pamphlets of information on what handouts we are supposed to be getting that everyone thinks we do! I'd like to know what I'm missing out on!! LOL

LMFAO!!!!! hahahha Ohh Man i loved that.. suites the purpose.. Sorry but daang.. too funny.. But seriously...

Whateva ignorance seems to be a way of life for some people and theres no talking them outta of it so i agree again with SE.. just ignore it becasue we have heard this whitemans debate before and people like that who feel they need to come to a Native Site to post crap about things they dont know just shows how really intelligent she is.. and yep looks to me like many here that SHE is the one truly confused. Flip flops.. cant reason with them.. cause ya flip them one way they flop the other *sigh*

LMAO freebies if ANYONE got freebies.. it sure as hell wasnt US.. roflmao.. DOH...

I was hope'n 4 some debate action here......where'd she go??? Poor thing.....

[Annie Fawn]

Ya'll need to go check out her profile! She talks about starting her own cult and being a Diva, ect... Oh, and she's not a teenager, she's 31! Looks like she's left or leaving the group. Even leaving she wasn't orginal, it's the Happy Trails post.

Wow...

What a statement... evidently don't know to much to make such a generalized statement, yes many out east here were removed, but many of the western tribes are still inhabiting reservations located at least partially in their former territories...
And as for the hand-out part... Wow... obviously never been to many reservations enit?

Living together in one location keeps us stronger. There's support in some cases that can only come from each other.

This place is like a small reservation. On a reservation, if a non-Indian speaks out of turn, they get put in their place by someone. That happens here. Not by just one.

People tease each other just like on the rez. Heck, I tease people who I never met before. Then I meet them and it's just like I've known them for awhile.

If you haven't noticed, the best powwows are on the rez. Sure, you can go to GON, but there's nothing like a good ole, rez gathering. It's the feeling. Nothing can match it.

Wanna fight against a big corporation that's pollutin' your homeland? On a rez, you've got everybody's support. We stick together.

I've lived in a few of the biggest cities in North America, but there's no place like home.

As for greagirl, she's probly a fun person to chill with if you're what she wants you to be.
Somebody made her vain. Not her fault. Dr. Phil should be able to help her with that problem.
She reacted typically to "you peoples" comments by attempting to belittle your race. Most of you who posted know this. Again, not her fault. Somebody made her that way. Dr. Phil - help her.

Ki - well said dude! Oh and someone get Dr Phil on the line. If he's busy maybe Tyra's mom could whoop her into shape - oops I mean whip.

I think her profile is just being humerous.. but this post about reservations is out of line and I think she knows now not at all appreciated.

This "reservation" topic helped me stop to think and appreciate what our forefathers did for us. I asked myself....... what would it be like if we didn't have this land? I give thanks to the creator and to my ancestors who fought so valiantly to keep our homelands, for they hold priceless gifts: knowledge, history, culture, burial grounds, prayer places, medicine, water, fish & game and agriculture....to name but a few. It's true reservations are a very small fraction of what once was, but we're still grateful for what's left.

Some non-Indians often have a difficult time grasping the concept of "heirs", for often times they don't have family to hand anything down to.

One time a coworker of mine remarked that we shouldn't have reservations. When I mentioned treaty rights and what was promised he said ...."yeah the government made a treaty with the Indians of long ago, not with the Indians of today!" DUH.........same thing ennit???? Man......some people's kids......if they had a brain they might be dangerous.
