Thanks for posting this man! Sometimes indians feel like a minority even among minorities. (now im only half and despite growing up on a rez, I take full advantage of my ahhh… ambiguous ethnicity. I went to the business school and will admit to allowing one of my ahh… better endowed classmates assume that I was jewish and when I dont feel like discussing being an indian, I am quite comfortable being italian or hispanic if the weather has been nice)
On the mascott thing, well I usually try to pick more important battles. Ignorance and shame have a funny way of showing themselves sometimes and the cleveland indian is pretty damm funny looking. (my cousin does the best impression)
Did you have to mention the thing about Geronimo’s bones? I mean, I have plenty of legitimate political and social reasons to despise this guy… i dont think cultivating a personal hatred is going to be healthy. I will shut it with that because the walls have eyes.
OH! sweet reference to a crappy Samual L and Bruce Willis movie. So if the hero in that movie’s weakness was water, then would our mutual friend and superhero Miss Brink’s weakness be germs, gravity and round things? :P
