    True, however in light of the US/Iraq thing...

    If there's anything we can learn from war, it's that it is not an option. Talking and coming together as a unified people is the only option.

    I do believe that they DO have the same rights we do. If you're born here, you're a citizen no? The kids born aren't illegal, its their parents.

    So then you agree with me that I'm not an illegal immigrant, and that I shouldn't have to give my land back to the Native Americans, right?

    In fact, how old are you? I am 27, and thus I've been here longer than many of the Indians alive these days.

    They're dead mostly. And yes, I've never said we should give up our land today. But I think we should at least admit the act was wrong in the first place and we shouldn't continue to steal people's land and kill them. Not from Paslestine, Mexico, Canada....you get the picture.

    What I think is cool is the Native American spiritual concept that we don't own land. Rather we can harmonise with nature and experience the abundance and the shelter the land offers us.

    For us to feel that the fruits of the earth including the land are ours to own and control is an idea that comes from the mindset that we humans dominate and control the planet. Such an idea is about hierarchy, where we are "above" the land and have the right to dominate it. Just like our mistaken belief that we dominate nature. It's pretty clear that such an idea has brought huge imbalances in nature all around us. We're oblivious to the truth: the idea of dominance is our own imbalanced human idea and it is out of synch with reality. That lack of harmony with the truth creates fallout consequences for us to learn from.

    It's just about time that we recognise what our dominance has brought us. And it's the perfect time for us to start recognising the validity of creating equal, harmonious partnerships with all the relationships in our lives. That begins in our relationship with ourselves--we learn to find inner harmony instead of practising inner dominance and squashing aspects of ourselves we've deemed not worthy.

    This concept can then spread outwards where we can create balance in our relationship with the planet we derive our very sustenance from. When we treat ourselves with honour and respect, we'll find ourselves naturally drawn to respect and value that around us. We'll find ourselves creating balanced, safe relationships with our loved ones, and all people.

    The patriarchal ideals of dominance and submission are on their way out. It's time for equal relationships of all kinds. It's time to recognise the sacred in ourselves and when we do so, we'll see the sacred in the earth, in our loved ones, and in our neighbours as well.

    As the hierarchal ideas fade, so will the idea of "I was here first". Or "we have more right to this land because it is ours". Such natural shifts are happening. We can get this idea on a heart level and align to the shifts and harmonise with life, or we can continue learning the hard way, through trial and error.

    i forget the exact quote but it was from the head of indian affairs waay back then...he said something about the problem w/ these ppl is they don't want things like we do, how we needed to 'civilize' them and dress them in pants w/ pockets so they will want things to put into those pockets...

    i don't think we can just give away all the land but we can at least give them better spots for reservations *has anyone seen 'the canary effect'? http://www.tribecafilmfestival.org/tixSYS/2006/filmguide/event_np_trailer.php?EventNumber=0912 )

    we could also apologize for actions like the massacre at wounded knee where we killed a bunch of men, women and children just for practicing their religion...
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way
