Native American’s Deserve the American Dream
Posted: July 10, 2008 Filed under: No Obama | Tags: First Americans, Native Americans Against Obama, Native Americans and poverty, Native Americans and the American dream 2 CommentsI was born in Oklahoma and grew up in Omaha. My mother used to take us to every pow-wow she could find. We frequently travelled the west and the southwest. I climbed the chaco canyon and hiked the trail of tears. I have an enduring respect and awe for Native Americans. From summers spent in New Mexico near Ghost ranch or winters in Mesa, Arizonia where my parents retired, I take every chance I have to discover what I can about the folks who were the first Americans. Many folks have been thrown under the bus by the Obama campaign during this election season. It is easy to find their voices and their stories on the internet. I know there are many many groups questioning his authenticity concerning issues of poverty and respect. There are none more deserving of such conversations than our first Americans. This is one of the many wonderful videos I have found that raise questions, issues, and objections concerning the Obama candidacy. Please listen and learn from these U.S. citizens who have been heros of our wars and protectors of our natural resources. If any one deserves the American dream, it is the Native American.





Thank you Dakinikat for this post. This is an issue near and dear to my heart. We walk a land that was taken on their backs. The holiest place to Lakota people–the Black Hills–was promised to them in perpetuity. George Custer led an expedition there that found gold in them thar hills. Now their most sacred plays bears the heads of four White Presidents. I will never allow my eyes to look upon Mount Rushmore. It is an abomination, a stain that cannot be washed away. The genocide of America’s First Nations is America’s original sin. Obama couldn’t care less.
Did I mention that I can’t spell “place”?
