4. It is too little too late. They have after all been "Discovered"

We all need to do some resisting and one way is by bringing to White America's attention that "People" were here long before Columbus "Discovered" America. Kind of like Bush* "Discovering" the US Treasury.

5. Irony: Is it proper that I exist, or not?

My father is white. So if America had not been "discovered," I wouldn't exist.

6. Well then maybe we can free Leonard Peltier

he's paid his dues for a crime he was only tangentially connected with.

We all owe the native peoples a huge debt of gratitude for their contibution of all their fucking land to our country.

Maybe some day there will be sufficient outrage at the handling and malfeasance of Native American Trust funds.

Or maybe we will give the Lakota people back the land that we promised them in the treaty they signed with us. Hey, who knew it had gold and oil in it?

Maybe we will honor just ONE of the some 1,520 treaties we have signed with the Native Americans. So far our record is perfect: we have broken every single one.

9. Or maybe the southern tribes will continue reclaiming the continent :)

And bring the other interpretation of Chief Seattle's words into clear focus for all those pale grandparents learning Spanish from their grandchildren

13. In Mexico, this is "El Dia de la Raza"

Or "The Day of the Race"--the day to commemorate the origin of the Mestizo. It's not a celebration of Columbus. (Cortez is certainly NOT revered in Mexico.)

And, yes, population movement will "continue reclaiming the continent". Some of the European settlers were more efficient in wiping out the natives but the imbalance is being redressed.

27. Peltier will never be released

The FBI botched the first case they made of the Pine Ridge shootings, and Leonard Peltier was the convenient scapegoat they hung the second case on. Very sad story... http://www.dickshovel.com/Aim.Pine.html

11. The One True Fry Bread Recipe

1 C flour
1 t baking powder
1/4 C powdered milk
1/4 t salt
warm water

Mix it all up, add the water, a bit at a time. Throw some flour on a board, table, whatever. Knead till it's not sticky any more, all smooth. Cover it up and leave it alone for an hour. Then make little balls and pat them down - just like you were making thick flour tortillas. They should be about a third of an inch thick.

Heat up your oil, corn, veggie, peanut, whatever. Throw em in, fry till brown, flip over, brown other side, take out, put it on paper towels to drain, lift fry bread to mouth level, open mouth, insert fry bread, use teeth to bite.

15. Fry Bread Power!

Love Fry Bread. Think I'll make some for supper on this day formerly known as that other day that no one really wants to mention anymore unless they get it off of work.

22. Indian?

Shouldn't it be "Offical People who were in what is now called North America before the Europeans Arrived Resistance Day"?

28. No, "Indian" is a perpetual reminder that Columbus was stupid

And a possibly very lucrative trademark infringement suit from a certain large country in South Asia...
