WHY DO WE CELEBRATE COLUMBUS DAY; AND NOT INDIGENOUS PEOPLE DAY?
hotkeys: D = random, W = like, S = dislike, A = back
still over 100 "lost" tribes in the world that have never had contact with white peoples. Unfortunately they are being forced out of their hidden locations due to illegal logging and drug trade. Google lost people of Amazon
One member from each ethnicity went to a bar. The white guy left broke and beat up, then apologized when he left.
or do I have "able body guilt" if I choose to believe I'm doing good by helping persons w disabilities?
Does Socrates have "meme guilt"?
For all everyone here knows I'm a black/Mexican/native/euro/impoverished man with 3 kids and no wife.
In college, I had a classmate that was a Pottawatomie dancer, and his young sons also danced with him. Check you local tribes and find out when they hold theirs.
Of course, if they can be registered, they'll still have access and use of Buxton Castle in Scotland.
Last year, at auction, I picked up the time life series of Indians. Not sure if entire set is there, but 24 volumes for $1 was something I couldn't pass up. My daughter salivates at the thought of getting them.
I just mean probably not enough to identify myself as black or Native American on all those annoying forms.
Yes, my family embraces diversity.

Since my ancestry and culture is both Native American and European, it's probably okay for me to share information or an opinion...

Did you draw a picture: yes. Of Columbus, his ship and flags.
Did you learn about the Indians? Yes, Christopher Columbus brought some back with him, and Christopher Columbus was not that nice to them.
Aww man... don't let me get started on what Columbus did to his captives... he was terrible! :o
I know this is a real issue. I worked with a director in HW s few years ago.,, one of my clients did someone they felt was insulting to indigenous people. I was basically informed, that if I didn't address the issue, I wouldn't get work again because Hollywood is loaded with indigenous people. Having to calmly play both sides of the fence, thankfully it work out. (But I've only had a 1/2 dozen opps since)
And interesting story too! Glad it all worked out in the end. ;)
