Carl not one of us are full blooded American. We all came from somewhere unless we ARE Native.. which I am. So I suppose you could say I'm the American... the Native.

You have to stop fighting a war that isn't yours. NA's are getting treated better than we have, we have centers and places that are just ours. Yes, I agree what happened long ago sucked, but we evolved, people evolved. Those that stay angry will never be free in their hearts anyway. Our people did not own this land. The Creator owns this land. We just live upon her. Segregation is for the simple minded. We are all one people, one race we are all HUMAN.

I am no one's victim. I live free.

Cool, I didn't know you were an N/A. I went to a Cherokee reservation once and at a show they had, they had a few N/A storytellers and they explained why it was okay to call them Indians instead of N/A. I've also heard that Indians are against the term, "Native American" because it was given to them by the white man and they view it as black man would view the term, "n*****". Is this true?
