[UPDATE:]Chancellor Modifies Course-Paintings to be Relocated(Uni. of Wisconsin-Stout Moves to C
NATIONAL COALITION AGAINST CENSORSHIP ^ | August 3, 2016 | Jas Chana

Posted on 08/08/2016 7:29:44 AM PDT by detective

The Chancellor at the University of Wisconsin-Stout has announced two of three historic paintings depicting interactions between white traders and First Nations people are to be removed from public view because of their potentially "harmful effect" on students and other viewers.

The paintings, which were commissioned under the Works Progress Administration and painted by artist Cal Peters in 1935, can be found in the University's Harvey Hall, a building currently undergoing major renovations. In preparation for the Hall's grand re-opening this fall, the paintings were to be restored by university art students under the direction of their professors. The restoration work, funded by the Wisconsin Historical Society, began back in 2013.

And pity the poor Pawnee. They were originally a fairly powerful buffer nation between Sioux to the north and and Comanchee to the south. They farmed like the white man and hunted buffalo like the red man when the corn harvest was done.

But neither side fully accepted them and they were forced to accept other employment like scouts for the whites just to make ends meet.

Things got so rough by the 1870s that they were actually the first tribe to request relocation to Oklahoma Territory for their own protection.

They are really the first nation people of what is now western Nebraska, Kansas and parts of NE Colorado before it was partitioned between the Sioux and Comanche.

Repression of knowledge strikes me as the behavior of a non-University. I don’t know how these people talk to each other without bursting into laughter at how dopey they all are.

“They should have more modern and realistic portrayal of the Indians.”

Perhaps a series of photographs of casinos.

Perhaps Paul Ryan would like to comment. After all he represents some of the people of Wisconsin and they pay taxes to support this teaching institution.

How about a comment from Governor Scott Walker? Isn’t the university president a state employee?

If the elected political leaders won’t stand up to the tyranny of political correctness who will?

“First Nation” is also the Canadian legal term for Native Americans/American Indians or aborigines as they are some times referred to. Wisconsin being on the northern border with Canada, its use may just be a little appropriation by a liberal student journalist.

First time I’ve ever seen anyone in the U.S. refer to them as First Nations and not Native Americans. I thought it was only a Canadian term.

Don’t have much time in a canoe, huh? Or do you have poor balance?

I take your comment to mean that this demographic has been weaponized and is now a tool of destruction of the left, just like black people have been weaponized and are now a tool of destruction of the left.

Yes.

When one is scouting downstream obstructions, sometimes it is necessary to stand.

Is “First Nations People” the new Indian PC term?

No. It's the about 20 years old PC term for Injuns ...

"First Nations," huh? So, that mean that they had, e.g., bicameral legislatures, independent executive branches, as well as a judicial branch?

Yeah, a group of neolithic hunters/gatherers huddling among the rocks of barren Tierra del Fuego were "nations!" That's the ticket!

Regards,

It’s not the standing which tips most canoes, it is the getting in the standing position. Yeah, you can get away with it when the water is wide, calm and shallow. But that doesn’t mean you should. Generally, if the tallest guy is in the front of the canoe (that was me back in the day), you could scout ahead just by kneeling up. Much safer for the rest of the people in your canoe, particularly with the true “v” hull in the painting.

No, it’s been around for quite some time now.

It’s the U.N.s intent to give them more power over the lands they used to inhabit.

Naturally, Western Civilization is the big ogre here.

Western Culture is a big threat to the U.N. The U.N. wants every nation to be subservient, and the Western nations aren’t going to bow on bent knee.

It will now guilt them into oblivion if it can.

Hasn’t been working.

Re: “First Nation” is also the Canadian legal term for Native Americans/American Indians or aborigines as they are some times referred to.”

I think you may be correct. I just visited my daughter a few weeks ago, who happens to live in Calgary.

We went on a trip to Jaspar in Alberta. Beautiful country. Anyway we stopped at a visitors center along the way and I was talking with a Canadian forest service guy, and I happened to mention “Native Americans” - I could tell he was uncomfortable with what I had said.

He was nice about it, but told me the accepted term by Canadian Indians is “First Nations.” I had not heard that term before. It is tough to keep up with the constantly changing PCism.
