It's just an "Indian" thing

Have you ever heard this line, think it was H.B. Thoreau who said it, what is an "Indian" thing? Life is the answer, simply put, a simpler way, all your accounts on one thumb nail (Thoreau), A marriage where the wife and the husband are not bound together in hate, because they are so tied to each other after marriage. Example would be, "Hopi" men have their "Dance's", "Hopi" women have their "Dance's", each would spends many hours away from each other preparing to do each's dance. With spare "Time" each would work on, Her weaving or pottery, him craving on his "Kachina". The male would leave on hunting journeys, for salt, or "Spiritual" trek, (root wood for "Kachina) the women would tend the young children. They are so separate, but as one, for the survival of the unit, that when they were together, they were glad to be with each other, not tired of seeing them, That's all gone now, now every thing is hard. This family bond, is the government's worst enemy, you can't break up a tight nit family, with lies, telling the kid what they want them to know and not what the family knows. Making the old one's look out dated, not in touch, with current propaganda. (where's "Hitler") That's why the early US government had to wipe the "Indian" thing out by, killing them off, thus the family unit. that had already happen to the whites, with "Christianity. If you don't do like what the "Church" says, then "Cast" them out, stone them, by "God"! Poor ole "Christ", who ever he is. The "Indian's" around here have what I've termed, "A Right of Passage", they seem to know most local white have some kind guilt feeling, for what they took from them, it's really is hard to say no, when they ask for something. A "Navajo" kid that worked for one of my son's, would head back to the "Navajo" Rez, every time he got sick. If he was working on a job site and got sick, he'd say, ancient burial ground was their and the "Spirits", made him sick, neither me or my son could argue that logic, their was a chance, living here. So back to the rez he ran, to see the "Medicine Man", in week or so, would wonder back, knowing he would be let back, now that's an "Indian" thing their! This crap we live in, can sometimes, over whelm the "Hopi" and "Navajo's" when they come down to work, especially the young girls. This is just to far removed from an, "Indian" thing, to fast, to slick, sad but, their right, down to the last budweiser cap, at one in the morning, when the bar closes. They don't have a chance at survival, I tell them go home, your much better off back their, alot of whites would trade places with you, be proud, don't get caught in the "American" thing. I pray daily, we'll go back to the "First World" with the good knowlege we've learned and don't bring the bad knowlege, this crap can't go on much longer, can it? bye PS when a "Injun" trys to put that "Right of Passage" on me, I get to say, I've gave I've gave
