Im pretty. Never been called that before.

[Atla]

I'm not being mean. I'm just saying,,,,, Geronimo called and wants you to scalp someone.

[Nether]

I think hes like an Inuit or somthing, so hes a native but from a different region.

[bigSparky]

Funny, that was the first album I ever bought. It's corny now, but I loved that movie.

Now im gonna sound like a bigot here, but please do not associate me with any of the eskimo tribes. I am an Athabascan and Navajo of the First Nations peoples, and do not have a drop of Yu'pik, Inuit, Inupiaq or any other eskimo blood coursing through my veins...

And as to why I am fighting for the "round" eyes is that... I needed to get out of alaska, Ive always been a fighter.... and im a patriot. The people the atrocities were commited against are all dead and gone, on both sides. And also.... Atla is just behaving like a marine. Im used to it.

my bad, knew you were from alaska but i didn't know there were that many different nations out there.

[Silverwolfe]

Its no problem Nether. Most people dont know. ITs a common assumption.

[Jezebel]

Now im gonna sound like a bigot here

Silverwolfe, I don't view it as bigotry. One of my students at UNR was Shoshone, though he was often mistaken for Pauite because most Native Americans in Reno are Pauite. He always corrected them, and I never once felt he was being a bigot. It would be like me correcting someone who called me French, Danish or something other than what I am, Irish and English. I don't feel superior to non-Irish/English people. Bigotry is when people feel their ethnicity/religion/etc. makes them superior.

And as to why I am fighting for the "round" eyes is that... I needed to get out of alaska, Ive always been a fighter.... and im a patriot.

Silverwolfe, I'm sure you're aware that there has been a proud tradition of Native Americans fighting for American, even before they were considered American citizens. This webpage highlights some of them:

I'm a mutt, doesn't matter what you call me, you are probably right.

Hubby's maternal grandmother was Cherokee and Apache, his maternal Grandfather was German (yes from Germany). His father and his paterna; grandparents are Mexicans. I call him a CheAp White Mexican.

[Silverwolfe]

Oh yes, I am aware of the Native American tradition of fighting for the United States. I was just commenting on what Atla said. Im not big into racial slurs, and I am a firm believer in respect.

[Jezebel]

Im not big into racial slurs, and I am a firm believer in respect.

As am I. Grew up in a extremely racist, rednecked family (except for Native Americans, because my mom thought she had Cherokee blood. Turns out she doesn't). Because I judge people by whether they are good, honorable people and not on the race/creed/ethnicity, needless to say me and my family disowned each other a long time ago.

[Lady Maven]

I hear ya Jez. My family pretends they are not bigots but a convo with them for more than 15 minutes on ANY social issues proves they are. I moved to Reno to get the heck away from them.
