Some have suggested that our Kaianerehkowa (Great Law of Peace) was the foundation and basis for the US Constitution. Well, I'm here to say NOT EVEN CLOSE! Our ways rejected hierarchies! Yours created them based purely on being a rich white man. Ooh! What a coincidence! That's EXACTLY what you have now!
Don't blame us! You didn't listen!

Trump and his ED Secretary don't really care if these mascots stay or go. Their presence here on this issue is strictly performative. This is about political alignment. It's about the base! It's about votes, congress, campaign contributions; it's about securing footholds at the school and community levels.

If you take a racist bigot who abuses his wife, is angry and feels like his white privilege is under constant assault and make him rich and evil, you just turned Archie Bunker into Donald Trump. The trouble is that MANY Americans are fine with that.

The effort to dismantle the illegal doctrines of the US legal and legislative system is quite simply about rejecting being singled out simply for being Native people and cast as wards of the government. We are NOT incompetent! We are NOT inferior! We will NOT beheld in some twisted state of perpetual political and legal purgatory! But some are scared of taking such a bold stance. Some believe the current status somehow protects us. This isn't protection! It's a protection racket designed to oppress us.

Sam Alito has questioned this power and now Thomas and Gorsuch are challenging its constitutionality and general legality. To be clear the UN has called doctrines, policies and practices like this, racist, scientifically false, legally invalid, morally condemnable and socially unjust. So where are Kagan, Jackson and Sotomayor?

I the early 60s while Kennedy and Nixon were locked in a tight race for the White House, both needed Pennsylvania badly. So both viewed the Senecas as a sacrifice they were willing to make. As a result, ten thousand acres of Seneca land were condemned to a flood plain by a dam constructed to solve flooding problems for Pittsburgh.
