"You People" is a euphemism for you are not us. And although it's a step up from being called dogs, it is still meant to be demeaning and disparaging. Canada's old man celebrity bites the dust with this one but it's clear that racism is alive and well in Canada.

A bit more on the Seneca fight as well.

A US District Court Judge ruled for the State in the Seneca battle to keep their gaming revenue from NYS. Ooh! What a surprise! Happy Native American Heritage Month! Now Pay Up, Sucka! Join me for a recap on the Billion Dollar Squeeze the State is attempting to put on the Senecas!

White Privilege! Where does it come from? How about every damn document that formed the United States? That's where!

Don't miss this show! What is Genocide? We'll define it, explain it and give undeniable examples.

We are NOT mascots! And don't tell me about polls suggesting Native people are just fine with the mockery and racial slurs. The are more Americans falsely claiming to be Native people than real Native people. These are the clowns that are polled. I remember Chanie Wenjack who died on this date in 1966 of exposure attempting to escape from a boarding school almost 400 miles from his home in Ontario

We choose our path: ours or theirs. Ours was laid down by millions of feet of our ancestors. Theirs is a path of slavery, war and genocide.

The Arts: and what we need to do to support them. We need more resources to support creativity. This is more than economic development. It's community development; Human Development!

Well, we survived another "Indigenous Peoples Day versus Columbus Day" media battle and I think we won this one! Our latest Let's Talk Native TV video is climbing the charts and we are ready for our next one.

Today is the 527th anniversary of a white man washing up on the shores of the Arawak. We'll talk Columbus, promote our new video and talk of events and the crazy world of WBAI.

Federal recognition (Fed Wreck)for Native people is defined as "a tribe, band or nation of Indians subordinate to the laws of the United States and under US jurisdiction." So who's signing up? Far too many but most of the 573 recognized "tribes" have never agreed to this definition and most of the others ignore it. But none of that changes how they view us and how far too many of our own people identify themselves.
