Walter Soboleff gave the Alaska Native Brotherhood and Alaska Native Sisterhood a strong reminder of its cultural values in a keynote speech on Tuesday morning for the organizations' weeklong convention in Juneau. The theme of this year's gathering is "Teaching Respect to Our Youth Through Our Families", with a focus on family-based education. Children's welfare, Hurricane Katrina and the war in Iraq are among the social and political topics to be discussed at the 93rd convention. Soboleff, a Juneau pastor and Native scholar, said spending time with Tlingit elders in the 1940s was a high privilege and was "like going to college and graduate school." Soboleff, 97, developed what has since been dubbed "Tlingit Protocols," which can be used as a moral guide for Tlingit clans and families.

What thought process made you think this was "Breaking News"?
:)
The same thought process that says "if the MSM says Bennett is a racist it must be true?"
The Natives have achieved corporate being, mainly through ANCSA. As such, they must either sell stock or capitalize goodwill to stay in business. A couple of the Corporations are doing very well in ordinary business, but the generic creation of a corporate culture builds goodwill for all the corporations of this type. Growing a Native Culture as a distinct entity will pay off down the road, both for individual members--stockholders--and for the Corporations, that is, the CEOs.
"What thought process made you think this was "Breaking News"?"
I apologize if I inadvertedly picked a wrong category. I go down through the boxes and check them according to impulse and that was probably an incorrect check. Please, Please, Please forgive me...
"The same thought process that says "if the MSM says Bennett is a racist it must be true?""
I missed the MSM report that said Blustery Bill Bennett is a racist. However, the fact that he isn't as smart as he thinks he is came across clearly in all news reports of BBB's blatherings--by inference. HE's the one who suggested abortion of all black babies would be a terrible, unthinkable thing (that he thought of).
