Except maybe for those with the sense to move their kids far away. The Mescalero guy I know had his three kids pass through my high school, lives locally. My favorite story about that guy is when a punk gang member down his street was threatening his son. The Mescalero guy climbed through that sleeping punk’s window at night, laid a knife against that guy’s throat and told him if he EVER f_cked with his son again…. ‘Nother thing was when his kids were in Elementary he blew up when they were gonna put them in bilingual Spanish classes, JFC we ain’t Mexicans he said. Funny to hear him tell it. He kept turkeys for their feathers and would hang turkey feet on his fence like witchcraft to scare the local punks, it worked 🙂 He gave us a peyote cactus in a pot one time. Didn’t want to refuse a gift but WTF was I gonna do with that? We put it out on the back porch and left it there. A year later it looked horrible so I gave it back. He told me that’s what they we’re supposed to look like Anyhow that guy’s three kids excelled, took all AP classes in high school, one of his daughters advanced to the International level in Science contests and his son is career Army, an Engineer. It is true that that Mescalero guy didn’t grow up on the rez per se, his parents moved off, tho his daughter married out there and he goes back regular.

I got my dates wrong earlier, 1980 was when I went to Africa, ‘83 when I got back, February of ‘84 when I dropped off blankets on Pine Ridge, then about twenty years later Cheyenne River. Cheyenne River must have been early August because Sturgis was just getting started and I would be having to get back home for the start of the school year. So coming back we drove through Pine Ridge. Pine Ridge seemed pretty quiet in February of ‘84, about 20 years later in August it weren’t. A LOT more people, whole neighborhoods of houses where I didn’t recall any before. Back in ‘84 I had driven out with a local to Wounded Knee, and we had each stood in the lee of a brick gatepost to the small chapel yard and mass grave to get out of the wind while we talked. It was quiet, no one around. Twenty years or so later Wounded Knee was crowded. A famous AIM guy had built a circular “museum” just down the hill. Some really bad stories have come out concerning some of the AIM people during the events of ‘73, but one AIM guy is known to have been shot and killed by the Feds (??) at that time, a guy from California, he is buried on the hill just outside the fence. There was a second more recent grave next to California guy. Judging by the name on the gravestone and the dates of birth and death it was most likely his mom, if so she must have arranged to have herself buried out there next to her son when she died. Someone had just recently taken a big crap right on her grave. Prob’ly it had been some random drunk the night before but it seemed like an act of petty spite, like witchcraft. Hey that was someone’s mom’s grave. So I found a piece of cardboard lying around and cleaned that sh$t off, literally. Carried that cardboard down the hill to an old outhouse behind the AIM museum. Three big drunk guys in a car with bloodshot eyes and death in their faces drove up and were looking at the White guy hard. They looked like the sort of people who really would rape and murder one or more naive young White women as had been said about the events of ‘73. Across the road from the chapel the local elementary school was having a bake sale. Teacher ladies fighting the good fight amid chaos. They told me the AIM guy who built that museum was the biggest drug dealer on the reservation. So anyways this has been about the sum total of my run ins with Indians over the years. At some point years ago I did run into Dennis Banks, on the tiny Kickapoo Reservation right on the Rio Grande. He told me they needed a teacher where he was (Leech Lake ??) said I should apply. Even if I was free to do so I prob’ly wouldn’t. It ain’t like that would be a free speech situation, I’d doubtless piss em off pretty quick. Mescalero friend got divorced and his wife got the house. A shame that two people who had done such a great job with their kids should split up but there it was. He lives on a small acreage south of town now. Last time I seen him was right after Trump got elected. He accused me of voting for Trump, gets a big grin and says he did too. That guy always flew an AIM flag at his house. I figure AIM flags are about like Confederate flags, those that fly em support the general principle but not all the actual details. Anyhow last I heard his daughter was a Social Worker in Albuquerque and she had worked on some local Democrat’s campaign so there’s that. I did bring my granddaughter to a local powwow when she was a little kid. She got all quiet and whispers to me ”Grampa, why are those men dressed like chickens?” Actually she was right; prairie chickens. Going on four years back (damn, time flies) I was pedaling my bike through Box Elder on my way to visit this Eskimo guy and his family up on the Hi Line when these two Rocky Boys girls ASKED me to take their picture. Like I said at the time, that level of reaction to my mere presence was a bit over the top, even for me I think what had happened was this: The teenager in the back seat was someone’s little brother, they were leaving the casino turning left towards Box Elder. Maybe they had gone there to pick up the brother from work. If so, they coulda seen me stopped a short time earlier taking a picture of this cool billboard and maybe they were on it. I sure hope those girls are doing well.

My Dad said we came from one of the Black Forest tribes. The Romans tried to put us on the rez, but we ate them.

The Romans never bothered with the Irish, didn’t have too. See, we was already killing each other.

every injun i've ever seen wearing a "native pride" hat had just enough injun blood in him to get tribal benefits Yup, I know a guy and his brother in North Dakota who do that exact thing. Both are white skinned, blonde w/blue eyes. They get all the government funded/supplied freebies when they shouldn't, and are proud of it.

If 'race is a social construct', according to certain Leftards/Democraps/Progressives/social marxists, then how come certain people whose ancestors were "on the rolls" get government benefits as a racial group??

They are portrayed as great keepers of wildlife and nature by the woke left. When in fact they always raped as many resources as they can. I never could figure out how Indians were supposed to be the great harmonious protectors of nature, when for thousands of years, the plains dwellers would run entire herds of bison off fùcking cliffs. Somehow that was more harmonious with nature than shooting them I guess. Got in a bunch of trouble in school over the Buffalo jumps. The Indian adoring teacher mentioned them, or driving them into a swamp. I raised my hand and commented on how they managed to get just the right amount they could eat and dry. Then in a Smart-ass mocking voice, "Cause, you know how they wasted nothing. And used everything." Finding the office wasn't hard. Already knew they way.😁 PS. My Longest on This Contentment Ancestor came here from somewhere, before it was America. Exactly the same as the Indians. To my mind, that qualifies me and mine as Native American. Oh that's a thing of beauty Dillon. You and I are on the same page.

I don't need a native pride hat to be proud to be native, I just am. For the same reason I don't need a handout is the same reason I don't have native shame for my ancestors misdeeds, I don't ride on their or anyone's coattails.
I take pride in my own accomplishments and my ability to influence others to do the same, that is where and how I come by native pride, but I don't think we will ever come out from that shadow of doubt that seems perpetual. Government hates me.

The Romans never bothered with the Irish, didn’t have too. See, we was already killing each other. Been covered as nauseum. There was nothing there worth taking lol. The Norse decided they liked freckled püssy and had their way at leisure with the island. Megan Llewelyn was a good story teller. But that all they are.

Everywhere else the Vikings went; England, the Hebrides, Orkneys, Isle of Man, Iceland, they left abundant genetic evidence in terms of the distinctive Scandinavian Y chromosome, passed on by men. This Y chromosome is almost absent in Ireland although there are Nordic genes in the Irish population. How could this happen? At times like these ya gotta go with Occam’s Razor ie the simplest explanation the probably true. Ergo the Vikings in Ireland were a bunch of queers. Viking women were screwing Irish men. It’s science Dude, sorry.
