Thanks for this thread. I love the Bad Eagle website. You have ruined me now — I’ll get EVEN less work done reading it!!!
I grew up in Medicine Park Oklahoma, and my best friend was a Comanchee. We last saw each other when we were 15 years old, and she went away to a school on an Indian reservation. It broke my heart when she left, as she was like a sister to me.
We recently found each other again on the internet, and visited in person in Medicine Park last summer. She is MORE conservative than me (LOL).
Her son and many family members work for the Comanchee Nation. I actually thought she would be (we made contact again after 30 years) liberal, from the little contact we had after she left for the Indian school.
She surprised me, is still like a sister after all these years. I am very proud of her and her journey, and so thankful to have her in my life again.
She used to take me to POW WOWS when we were young. I have very fond memories of those years.
You should write Dr. Yeagley and tell him what you told me. It would make him happy, I think. I like to call him Rabbi Yeagley as he is quite knowledgeable about Judaism and respectful of the Hebrew roots in Christianity. His world view is unique — he takes a lot of flack from his brothers and sisters, but it doesn’t stop him from putting it out there.
