You know Brian, it's a shame that our colonialist ancestors exterminated the Native American populations in this country early on in our history, and that we don't have more representatives of those languages teaching them. I think it would be amazing to learn a Native American language.

HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPP!!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! ![]() I like to take time to enjoy life, that's why I like to get things done in a hurry. Then there is more time left for enjoying things. Things besides, uh, making small talk with clerks in stores, or....slowly easing my way out of someone's house....

But I dont blame the colonial ancestor's for that as much as I place blame on the United States government for stripping Native's of their lands, their religions & their languages by forcing them into "detainment camps", Forcing their children into Government sponsored "education systems that stripped one of their true language & beliefs and forces the white man's way onto those savage's". The oldest Native generations are the last remains of the children who were forced into this "brainwashing" of one's self...They were also the handful who kept their languages alive though the Government wanted otherwise. Now that they're dying off noone is left to pass on the languages, I dont see our much "beloved" government helping the matter (Btw, F**k the BIA!!!), Hell they more-than-likely are enjoying their "final solution" for the American Indian...They finally got their wish and turned the Natives into people who are more similar to the "White Man" that they hold so f**king dear http://www.native-languages.org/cherokee.htm

Ah yes, The former "Indian Territory", A useless piece of real estate (If there ever was one) UNTIL the discovery of the 2nd largest oil deposit (Of that era) in the US in the late 1890's/early 1900's...Then BOOM, the same US government who ILEGALLY forced the Natives to this "Red-land" once AGAIN pulled the lands out from under those "Redskin savage's noses" and made it a state...Oh HOW convient of them ![]()

Isn't this what the movie Rabbit Proof Fence is about? That movie blew me away - so disturbing. The entire time, I'm thinking "but why would they just take these kids from their families?" And the fact that these kids ran all the way across the country to get home, then had to do it again?!?! Disgusting. ![]() |

BUT, Guess who has the last laugh? The US government (Out of sympathy only) gave some tribes lands that run along waterways that are used as sources for water for large metropolitan areas. The property maps clearly show that the water in the waterways is now clearly owned by tribes and the Natives are returning the screwjob to city government's by charging astronomical prices for access to their waters, So either pay $$$ for the water or do without ("Remember we are ignorant redskins") ![]() Hell, I LOVE the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma (Another of the 5 Civilized Tribes;Along with the Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek & Seminole), They have bought ALL the and that runs along I-35 from the Texas state line to within a few miles of Norman (Which is an OKC suburb...So it is about 120+ miles if not more) and will now be spending $110 million dollars to expand their casino (Located a few miles within the Oklahoma state line from Texas) in hopes to make more $$$$ so to buy even more properties (More local newspaper companies, Manufacturing facilities, etc.) to help their own...All the while other as ethnic groups (Mainly Caucasians/Rednecks & Blacks) here in Oklahoma complain it isnt fair, I say it is fair!!!

As for the "casino thing", it's easy...How do you earn a large amount of $$$ (To use for supporting your tribe WITHOUT having the BIA/US Govt. sticking their noses into your business) by giving up smaller amounts of $$$ to those greedy individuals who believe they can win larger amount of $$$ by wasting all of the hardearned $$$ playing at a casino? Especially when those "highrollers" bringing the $$$ are not Natives. It's sort of a "You screwed us in the past, Now will we screw you now LEGALLY and show ya how professionals do it" mentality. Think of the "casino thing" as the Fleetwood Mac fan club, someone gets screwed while someone collects large amounts of $$$ and those screwed cannot do much about it ![]()
