TRY TO TELL ME I HAVE IT EASY AGAIN.
Uwa proud. Dont let anyone tell you WHO YOU ARE! I am a proud native woman. Shame on the people who deny this part of themselves, be proud of your skin, be proud of your people.
So I’ve been seeing a lot of photos with Girls and Guys wearing a Native American Headdress. As a First Nations people I find it offensive and a little racist. I have confronted few and I got responses saying it’s for fashion or that they can wear whatever they want and they are representing Native Americans. Please go here http://nativeappropriations.blogspot.ca/2010/04/but-why-cant-i-wear-hipster-headdress.html I agree 100% with everything this person has to say. Please read.

I got this in an email, pass it along.
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is seeking persons
with fluency in Lakota or Yup’ik to serve on an as-needed (intermittent)
basis as Federal Voting Rights Observers. Lakota speakers are especially
needed for the upcoming South Dakota Primary…
Because life is better when you take black and white pictures of yourself.
