'Earth Mother getting angry'
AP via The Concord Monitor ^ | June 18, 2007 | Unattributed

From New Hampshire to California, American Indian leaders are speaking out more forcefully about the danger of climate change.

Members of six tribes recently gathered near the Baker River in the White Mountains for a sacred ceremony honoring "Earth Mother." Talking Hawk, a Mohawk Indian who asked to be identified by his Indian name, pointed to the river's tea-colored water as proof that the overwhelming amount of pollution humans have produced has caused changes around the globe.

Next we’ll be hearing “evidence” from Kenyan witch doctors.

I was talking to a Kenyan witch doctor the other day, I think it was next Tuesday, he said "don't put your winter coat away yet." ;^)

“”Iron Eyes Cody may have made a soft-hearted ad many years ago””


FROM SNOPES:

“That “crying Indian,” as he would later sometimes be referred to, was Iron Eyes Cody, an actor who throughout his life claimed to be of Cherokee/Cree extraction. Yet his asserted ancestry was just as artificial as the tear that rolled down his cheek in that television spot — the tear was glycerine, and the “Indian” a second-generation Italian-American.”

We took the back road (on the reservation) between Devil’s Tower and Custer’s Battle field. After passing homestead upon homestead of trashed out trailers, junk cars, and other assorted junk all over most of their lots I mentioned to my young kids to remember this when they hear in school how noble the Native Americans are and that the White Man is ruining nature.

I also told them that it probably has more to do with Liberalism / communism than them being Indians. When you don’t have to work hard to own your own land you’re apt not to take care of it, etc.

Illegal aliens are the main "outside pee'ers" in this invaded society/former nation with defended boundaries!!!

I don't know about that. I enjoy a late night end of the evening, take the dogs out and pee while admiring the stars. Something primeval and satisfying about it. What say you, Freep readers and posters?

You are spot on. All a person has to do is read the stories of Indians burning the prairie to encourage new grass (good for the buffalo but not so nice for the bunnies and snakes that get trapped) or driving herds of buffalo over cliffs (kind of hard to use every bit of a few hundred buffalo before they rot in the summer sun) to realize that all the stuff about “respect for mother earth” is a bunch of hot air.

Which everyone except for "rednecks" has the right to engage in and be respected for it.

I don't suppose Darwinism is taught in Indian schools. After all, that would be "cultural genocide."

Actually, I think the dogs are a formidable addition to the existential event.

It is difficult for me to admit, but this very scenario has played out a couple times. In fact, it has sometimes been the determining factor of when they need baths. *hangs head*
