Good grief!
First of all, we “indigenous people” do NOT consider ourselves “Brown”. We are Red, and proud of it!
Second of all, many of us are VETERANS, love America, and Troop the Colors and salute the Flag before every Pow Wow or Tribal Council Meeting.
My little sister, who has gone tribal (Following Jesus on the “Red Road”) is more right wing than I am, and I’m slightly to the right of JenJis Khan!
Unfortunately, the vendor isles at our gatherings are clogged with these left-wing-new-age idjits who think that Native Culture includes crystals, wiccan spells, and Medieval Majick along with their incorrectly made dream-catchers!
Grrrr...they annoy me greatly!
isles=Aisles.
The late great Commanche author David Yeagley once pointed out that the typical Indian’s love for his guns, hunting, pickup truck and freedom, made him “more redneck than redskin”.
This Romero must have been raised on “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee” while admiring Sasheen Littlefeather from afar & declaring “You call it corn, WE call it MAIZE!”
