ELDER QUOTE OF THE WEEK

EDITORIAL

O'siyo Brothers and Sister!
Last week there was an article included that
once again supported the Siberian Land Bridge theory, this time using a
DNA chain that is unique to people living in Eastern Siberia near the
portal to the land bridge and Native Americans.
This week there is an article that debunks much of the previous theory,
again with new scientific tools.
Neither of these scientific claims included views from Native elders.
My elders tell me we have always been here. They tell me that is what
was passed to them by their elders and their elders before them. There
is no scientific proof, but I think I'll just accept the word of my
elders and let the scientists fight for the last word is some journal.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other news in this issue includes a detailed article describing how
difficult it is for Native athletes to achieve their true skill levels
compared to other ethnic groups.
I have had the honor of talking to Billy Mills, the Olympic Gold
Medalist at the Tokyo games, and came away utterly astounded with his
accomplishments, his humility and his desire to contribute even more to
the welfare of his Lakota People and all Native Americans.
The rez road may not have the best athletic facilities, or coaches or
means of breaking down barriers for student athletes, but if Billy Mills
and Notah Begay are any indication it seems to produce athletes with
huge hearts.

Along the U.S.-Mexico border, the
body count continues to pile up daily. Meanwhile, the Minutemen patrol
the U.S.-Mexico border and shameless politicians find it easy to
denounce illegal immigration as the cause of all the nation's problems -
including linking it with "the war on terror."
Amidst all the clatter, the only views not being heard are the ones that
matter most. Thus here, we bring you a truly historic column,
featuring the views of those that have come before us to these lands:
American Indians:"The argument used
by the Minute Men, that their mission is to keep terrorists out of the
U.S., cannot be ignored: With terrorist training camps recently found
just north of the U.S.-Canadian border, their mission makes little sense
and gives weight to my belief that the Minuteman movement is clearly
racist. So is the new U.S. policy to keep our southern relatives out by
militarizing the border to the south. Not that troops are wanted on the
northern border either, but why send 6,000 troops to the southern border
when no terrorists ever have been detained there?" ~~ JoKay Dowell,
Quapaw-Peoria-Cherokee, OK, Eagle and Condor Indigenous Peoples'
Alliance |
