There is a story told by NA storytellers about the ghost children left on shore.  The ghost children left by their coldhearted mother who drove her children away.   I tell it a lot when I'm approached by Euro folk trying to give me sympathy for the "death of my people at the hands of the Americans".  They're never too happy because I tell them a very common NA view of things.  I tell them I don't view Americans as the ones who killed my people.  I blame that on heads of Europe.

Americans are my halfbrothers and halfsisters.  They are the result of Europe not being able to handle its own tribal woes.  Australia and NZealand are like that too.  Europe can't even care for their own children.  They turn around and hate the very children they made.  I see this a lot.  They hide behind their children's shadows, take their money, let them die and then let them take the blame for it all and then still hate them.  They abuse them, drove them away, take from them and then hate them.

I at last see what friends have told me.  We tell American white kids who come to tribal councils, council fires, powwows and all to first embrace their closest grandmothers, their white grandmothers.  Their white grandmothers have such a cold breast that she sends them away and hates what she and her own perfidy created.  Such treasonous hearts the Euros have.  I weep for you but mostly I weep for your many orphan children who stumble and stumble as they find their way.

I'm going to make this quick.  I havent posted here in a few weeks.  Work has gone bats.  I have pow season ahead too.  On top of everything, Jodi has to have tubes in her ears AGAIN.   Reason for this is Ive just read Melody's latest story and since she never pushes the stuff herself I'm going to.  I dont give praise easy but this is the best of Mel's stories ever I think.  Its funny as hell ontop all the slash stuff.

Russ Means is flapping his wings again.  Guess who has more work to do now.  This is understandable of course.  Its still silly as hell.  "You milk cow are now officially a flying horse".   Milk cow is impressed.

The Lakota Sioux Indians, whose ancestors include Sitting Bull, Red Cloud and Crazy Horse, have withdrawn from all treaties their forefathers signed with the U.S. government and have declared their independence. A delegation delivered the news to the State Department earlier this week.

Portions of Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana and Wyoming comprise Lakota country, and the tribe says that if the federal government doesn't begin diplomatic discussions promptly, liens will be filed on property in the five-state region. Here's the news release.

"We are no longer citizens of the United States of America and all those who live in the five-state area that encompasses our country are free to join us," said Russell Means, a longtime Indian rights activist. "This is according to the laws of the United States, specifically Article 6 of the Constitution," which states that treaties are the supreme law of the land.

"It is also within the laws on treaties passed at the Vienna Convention and put into effect by the U.S. and the rest of the international community in 1980. We are legally within our rights to be free and independent," he added during a press conference yesterday in Washington.

big news.

I met a lady at a swap meet this morning who sells "premade scraps" for quilting purposes.  Isnt the whole point of scrap/piece/patchwork quilts to use up scraps of fabric leftover?  Are they really leftovers if the fabric was cutup in the first fucking place?  I felt like giving her a piece of my mind and telling her she was being wasteful but she was a nice old lady and all the fabric pieces were cutup so nicely and easy to fit.

I of course bought a shitload of them, which makes me a hypocrite I guess.

My job is sucking more than usual.  The Sioux are moving to abrogate all the UniStates treaties and reneg them.  Thats right I need to tell my sons and daughter who look act and talk just like all the other American kids, who eat at the golden arkies and drink cocacola that they aint yanks any longer.  yeah, that'll work.

To anyone interested my other id is kahluaendorphins.  My bud mel had somebody sending her gifts through the id as if it was her id.  Its my id.  Mels mom died from alcoholism and she would never use any alcohol name in a member name.  Anyone who really knew her would know that but some people just gotta be shits.
