I hope you have a restful weekendMy older children are suppose to be finishing up their chores before lunch. My little ones are watching a cartoon (their 'reward' for a job well done), and my Little Feather is fussing in the arms of her older sister. I really need to get up and around. I am just so tired. It has been a long week for me.

Thank you. My other children are (from oldest to youngest) Soaring Hawk, Shadow Fox, Talks With Horses, Thundering Wolf, Butterfly Dances, Little Buffalo (my son who passed), Dancing Feathers, and of course, Little Feather. My beloved husband is Three Hawks.I hope you have a very restful and relaxing time this weekend.
I LOVE the name Little Feather. That is so beautiful!
I'm not sure what to tell ya there.This is my gripe, the lack of respect and acknowledgement this nation obviously has of American Indians. November was National American Indian Heritage Month. Yet, I did not see it mentioned once on the local or national news, no articles in local or national (non-native) newspapers, no displays were set up of famous American Indians in Wal-Mart, chain bookstores, or even in the numerous libraries my children and I frequent.
And yet... February is Black American History Month. This has been mentioned frequently with related stories on the local and national news; there have been plenty of related articles in local and national newspapers, and there are displays set up now in the local Wal-Mart, chained bookstores, and even in the libraries I frequent of famous African Americans. And there been numerous National Channels running programs on famous African Americans and other related programs.
Am I the only one who considers this to be revealing of the ongoing prejudice toward American Indians in our society? What do you think? How do you think American Indians are being portrayed in our society? Is it positive or negative, in your opinion? We can only combat prejudices if we acknowledge their existence. We can no longer afford to stick our heads in the sand and remain silent. We must speak out. We must talk.
So, I must ask, why is there so much emphasize placed on commemorating African Americans and not hardly any placed on American Indians? Let us look for a moment at Mexicans (Hispanics?) (legal and illegal). Our government does go out of its way to accommodate and be politically correct to these particular minorities. Is this the case or am I just being overly sensitive? Are American Indians not worthy of such recognition or accommodation or should there be no such treatment of any particular race? What do you think?
Red Fox

Getting the short end of the stick, yes, I would have to agree with you on that one.
