Treaties are BS and all have renigged.

I only knew one, and He Rocked. He was an artist, trained by his Grandfather. They would gather Mastodon tusks and ivory (Illegal for anyone else) and did carvings as well as drawings.

Here is a scan of a picture he drew at my house one time on a piece of notebook paper.

WoW!! That Is Awesome! thanks for sharing that .-)

This thread reminds me of Cameron Diaz's line in Being John Malkovich.

"Did you know that Eskimos have not one, but fifty words for snow? It's because they have so much of it."

Your sarcasm did not go unnoticed though, hehe.

A VERY RACIST remark, especially against Inuit.

The OP obviously used Inuit to try to 'mask' the true race behind the sarcasm.

Is it even okay that you can easily see through the 'mask race' and see the 'real' race behind it? Inuit is a race too. This isn't a sarcasm but an insult to Inuit, I hope this thread gets closed soon!

The OP never said Inuit, I said it, he called them Eskimos.

Inuit hate that and I don't blame them as I am a Native American myself.

But to be honest most ppl do not know the word Eskimo is an insult,
and so I do not see it as malice.

A lot of ppl are ignorant of a lot of things, and just how much will
start to become apparent in the coming few months.

i guess you may be surprised to learn your not a "native" to America after all

you actually came from asia, europe , or africa

no humans are native to america, we spread here nomadically

I'd like to quote this, as its an important angle that many may not be aware of:

"But to be honest most ppl do not know the word Eskimo is an insult,

I find it a little 'trippy' at times how people who are not Native American think that they know the way we see the world

(yes, we see things different, and no we do not all see things alike)

While I appreciate your defense of a righteous and strong people (those who objected to my OP) i would like to remind you, that many such would put a smile on their face having seen such :-)

Such is the The Way of those who have no hate in their heart... (especially considering that they have EVERY RIGHT to do so)

Edit: The fact that some feel that this may be a disrespect is obviously and easily felt by the Native American community. As one, id like to throw it out there... do you feel uncomfy that people are able to smile and laugh and have a good time? or is this just another method of the man putting people down?

I guaruntee every Native i know has a broad smile upon thier face

:-)
