re: Nicolee Bradbury's SRant of the Day here

I am an enrolled member of a nationally recognized tribe. I remember growing up seeing bumper stickers on vehicles here on my reservation that read "Indian and proud of it!" AND the mascot of the local NATIVE elementary school was the "savages." Now you get people like this that are just LOOKING for reasons to be offended. They were not offended back then... hmmm... perhaps things have become sooo good in their lives that they are getting snippier and snippier.

I am Coyote... I am Indian and proud of it. I do NOT get offended by sports mascots that bear the remembrance of our people.

I think that Nicolee should just lighten up a little bit and start cheering for the Indians. Nicolee should also educate herself on just what sovereignty means. Sovereignty does not mean you get to tell another country how to behave. If so you Nicolee are opening yourself up to being told how to act by another sovereign nation. Is that what you want?

No... If you want sovereignty Nicolee you take the good with the bad. You cannot pick and chose.

As for me I will take tribal sovereignty with all of it's downfalls and risk being characatured. That is much better than being dictated to by some other government.
