Friends and members,
I take the full responsibility for this, but I have to say that I have no tolerance if I feel that there are people who don´t fit in our little community here.
I certainly don´t accept derogatory name calling of Indian individuals or Nations. I banned a member today because of this reason.
You can call it censorship, or whatever, but I believe this is the best way to preserve the spirit of this message board.
Also, please keep in mind that this is a history forum. If you like to discuss political issues of today, please do it with sensitivity, if at all.
Thank you
Dietmar

Thanks, Dietmar. I was wondering where all this was heading.

Sorry to all to be so late,
but I´ve noticed that one of those funny internet freaks (to say it decent) entered our boards and started a dozen of stupid threads under different identities but from the same computer (Chevego, littlefawn, anraytoo, nanukslliver, bpb, winterhawk, elliechiehawk, marysliverfox, ...)
I hope one day he gets what he deserves.
Dietmar

Dietmar, I concur with your premise with the utmost vigor. The pursuit of knowledge is hard enough, yet some with or without knowledge seem to fall suspect to the common trait of human nature and have to have their 30 secs of infamy, I presume Thank You

I think it important that we wa-shi-cu be reminded of the genocide that is being practiced to this very day in our names and that was once practiced in the names of our ancestors. My family came into the country at the tail end of the nineteenth century (my mother's people) and early in the twentieth (my father's people) and tried to farm what was only proper for the healthy growth of the buffalo herds. They tried to farm it until the banks went bust and the soil stood up into the air and the sky turned to dust. It shames me to even be wa-shi-cu and there are no words that can ever be uttered to convey the profound disgust that I have for the treatment of the people we found here. If there is ever to be a spiritual awakening in us it will come from the native people who lived here for winter counts beyond counting.
