I watch the sun leaving me...and the shadow of this warrior falls back into the mountains. I touch the ground which caresses him...and weep for a man who believed in the goodness of others...who wanted nothing more than freedom...

Imagining Indians

Posted by reverend - August 19th, 2009


So many people claim to be Indian, speaking of an Indian grandmother, a warrior grandfather. Let's say the United States government announced that every Indian had to return to their reservation. How many people would shove their Indian ancestor back into the closet?

I am, and I wouldn't shove mine back. :-)

I wouldnt be able to anyway. I look pretty white, my mom is, but my dad is pure Indian, as are my grandparents and it's obvious.

But you've made a VERY good point.

Thanks. It's nice to see another Native around these parts. :)
