Female leader question

[Jack Anderson]

clarify... Crows often had females in leadership positions and many times women held the position as Chief of the Tribe. Do a little reading on the Clan system of the Crow Indians and you will get a better understanding of the importance of woman in our culture. My Grandmother was our leader in our family and that's true in many other Crow families. It works well, I think others should use the same system but that's just my opinion because well just read my friend. LOL I'm off my soap box!

Having women for Chiefs and Mayors, even Presidents of the reservation or First Nation had been around for many, many and many years, even in the modern times like today. Women are being accepted from Native men. There are some white men who don't approve of women being Chiefs and that is discrimination. It is wrong for White men to tell women that we are suppose to be 2nd class, even NDN men were 2nd class, too. Why are we being discriminated because of our gender?

If your friend is Cherokee, then he should know that Wilma Mankiller, a Chief for her people. It is not rare and can be voted between men and women.

And this is the point of my post. We are led by mothers and grandmothers. For someone to say women 'belong naked and washing dishes' has never followed and way. To even argue the point with is a waste of time and energy.

I believe his card is either erroneous or fraudulent.
