Lewis and Clark: The Unheard voices [Penn State Rewriting History]

Penn State University ^ | November 13, 2002 | Wilma Mankiller, et al.

[StopGlobalWhining]

If you're in the area Thursday, November 14, please stop by the Nittany Lion Ballroom at 7:30 PM to hear Wilma Mankiller tell the true story about the savagery of the evil white explorers, Lewis and Clark. Learn how they destroyed the environment, destroyed the lives of Native Americans and Latino Hispanic Americans, and how the "opening of the West" led to the rape of culture of the people, flora, and fauna of these regions.

If you were outraged at what the radical academic left has tried to do to Christopher Columbus, you ain't seen nothing yet. This conference is the first of a many pronged assault on Lewis and Clark, and is expected to define the agenda for rewriting their history beginning in the K-12 grades.

Oh, and did you know they brought a slave along with them? Well, you will after attending this conference. His name was York, and an Opera named after this unfortunate fellow will be presented on Friday, Nov 15 at PSU's Eisenhower Auditorium.

Wilma Mankiller

Very sexist name. It just goes to show the violence, depravity, and sexism of her cultural heritage.

This is typcal hateful leftism from an academic. I suppose it would be useless to remind her that ascribing inter-generational guilt is such a morally bankrupt practice that the Bill of Rights forbids the government doing it.

If I follow this silly person's "reasoning", then as I am an American Indian and a descendant of William Clark I may rightfully hate myself.

Chalk one up for the academic deep-thinkers!

Wilma Mankiller

She made news when she became the first woman elected Principal Chief of the Cherokees in 1985. If you disagree with her, you are a sexist or a racist.

Probably both...

[elbucko]

What were the consequences of the “opening of the West” on the environment?

Nuclear Weapons in New Mexico?

Just a thought. (/satire)

[Paul Atreides]

What is interesting is that I don't know of any white people named William Womankiller or William Indiankiller.

Wilma Mankiller

Looks to me like she killed a few "Twinkies" in between men.

[elbucko]

...I don't know of any white people named William Womankiller.....

...in the context of Monica Lewinski, it's probably just as well. :*)

William J. Kootchiekiller.

Learn how they destroyed the environment, destroyed the lives of Native Americans and Latino Hispanic Americans, and how the "opening of the West" led to the rape of culture of the people, flora, and fauna of these regions.

And all from the bottom of a canoe.

Just out of curiosity, whetever happened to those ugly Sacagawea dollar coins? Anyone ever handle one?

Or have they gone the way of the Susan B. Anthony coin?

[elbucko]

William J. Kootchiekiller.

Or Monica C.........!

The combinations are endless and this is a family rated site. We'll just have to use our imagination for most, if not all of the possibilities.

and other marginalized or unheard voices

This is the rich part. I don't recall what other marginalized or unheard voices there would be?!?

I mean, when I saw the Ken Burns special, it was dead on.

Must have missed something in the translation...

Welcome to the Stinking Desert National Indian Monument and Cobalt Testing Range.

Yeah, I know what you're sayin'. We white folk oughta' just finish ourselves off. We have been such a burden on the indigenous mankind of North America.

Don't forget that when we pack up and leave we take the cars, trucks and the horses with us. Indian didn't have no horses when the "White Devil' came. They were on foot. Lets leave 'em as we found 'em.

Adios! From just another G*d D*mn White Man. (/satire)

[Kay Ludlow]

I heard they were organizing something to "commemorate" the anniversary. I'm a Lewis & Clark Expedition fan, maybe I'll see if I can make it, maybe ask questions...
