Native Americans are as diverse politically as the rest of society. I’m Potawatomi yet it has nothing do to with my political thought. Only liberals think of race or heritage as a definition of belief.
Thanks for posting. I hadn’t seen anything by Bad Eagle for awhile.
Note that link should be titled “BadEagle” not “BaldEagle”
Have not heard from David Yeagley in several years and this is good. A viewpoint from an American Indian (I’m part Ocmulgee myself) that is not hidebound AIM bury-my-heart-at-Wounded-Knee is also good.
IIRC it was Mr. Yeagley who observed that the average Indian is more redneck than redskin as he places high value on his guns, his pickup truck, and his freedoms.
Doesn’t everybody?
I meant to say that to hear from David Yeagley after a long absence is good and I wish he had been publishing all along during that absence. I’m glad that he’s back.
Sorry for any misunderstanding. I’m a Yeagley fan.
You mead feather indians or red dot indians?
I have no basis to believe that Indians hate America. I have always thought they love the land, though they may have some issues over ownership.
Not likely—but too bad—Western Civilization was just too much for the less advanced cultures.
World History is conquest and the Indians we conquered were there because they also conquered someone else there before them.You lose you get stronger and you come back ON YOUR OWN.
Only fairly recently have the self-hating guilt-gulible bleeding heart liberals started empowering the losers of the world. You lose,you whine,you get some stupid Hippy white man to give you stuff you don't deserve taken from people who worked for it and then you terrorize those better than you with political correctness.
I had the honor to serve with several of them and they were among the finest, fiercest, and most loyal Americans I’ve ever met. They don’t hate America, they are America.

Oops, there’s a reason I usually copy and paste.
I live about 30 miles from the Ocmulgee River. My great, great, great, great (and so on) grandmother was a Cherokee (or so they say). Down here, most tribes were Creek.
I have fished on your tribe's river (never caught anything...but the beer was good).
BTW, there are some beautiful fresh water springs running into the Ocmulgee down South. Many tribes lived near the springs about 15,000 years ago.
Research "The Rocks" (north of Broxton, GA).
Opechancanough, Chief of the Powhatan, hated America sure enough. He killed a full one quarter of the entire population. Don’t know what his descendants think.
Just what I was thinking. They warred among themselves for thousands of years, winning and losing. When the white man moved into their territory we overwhelmed them. Of course they didn't like it but what goes round comes round.
I haven’t either. Checked his site from an old bookmark, he’s there and writing.
If you go to a real pow-wow in Indian Country, you will see the procession led in by Indian Veterans proudly carrying the American Flag.
I see ya got it changed. I like Bad Eagle
I just heard over the weekend from a friend of mine that Indians who have a casino in their neighborhood and are receiving $35,000 to $40,000 a month! I would hope to shout that they hate America and Americans.
400 years ago, pre America, but sure, as did many over the years. The author is speaking of contemporary Indians, I’d gladly extend it to the last century or so. Nearly 20,000 served in the “Great” War, pre citizenship, and only a few decades after the Indian Wars ended.
