As a Native person there are many uphill barriers we face both individually and collectively as native nations. While at times, it would appear that if non-Indigenous people would all leave life would be easier for us, but a realistic picture would suggest that we are better off trying to work at finding solutions of living amongst each other. This in itself is a complex matter because Indigenous people have always been on the losing end. The triumphs of America have come at the...

I have so much I could say about Ray Taliaferro when his knowledge is weak: I hardly know where to start. Sorry, Davey D, I'm going to have to intellectually take Ray Taliafero to task.

• Let me first preface my comments here with a little background thoughts on sociopolitical "icons" like Ray Taliaferro:

I guess first of all, Taliaferro...

Great observation, From My View!

I keep hearing folks wondering why Obama hasn't made comment, but I always wondered where the surrounding countries stand on the issue. Looking at a map of the region brings the head-scratching over this way. I think the Russians just cut natural gas supplies to Ukraine though its a rippling effect toward other EU members due to a pipeline via Ukraine...same difference. Also, tensions with Pakistan and India over Mumbai isn't helping along...

Thank you again Bro. Davey. As a Native Man these are contradictions we have had to live with all our lives.
Has anyone asked a few basic questions about the timing of the "conflict" between Isreal and Palestine? Why did it spark just before Obama's Inaugration? Why did it occur at the same time that gas prices were sinking low enough to help offset all the other financial attacks we are suffering under and where oh where is the response from Arab leaders, Muslim countries...

great article. as a native person i wonder the same thing. how can we have so many people in support of a palestinian state and so few that realize we are still living in america? the land of manifest destiny. the land of assimilation and extermination. we are living in a post-racial era about as much as we are living in a post-colonial era.

outright genocide has been replaced with more subversive forms of genocide here at home. wheres the outrage at record suicide rates among...

This is an EXCELLENT question and one definitely worth pondering.

Personally, I believe that America should do A LOT more to fairly make amends with the people it has displaced.

This whole Palestinian/Isreali situation is a big mixed bag of tricks. You could easily say its about as complex as these United States. You got folks playing both sides of the field, innocents being killed, outside forces helping/hurting the cause, etc. Arguing over land that could fit into most of the continuous 48 multiple times is mind-boggling. While I hope for the best with the Palestinians, I'm starting to look at the rest of the region and wondering what THEY'RE doing in all...
