Yurok Indian Tribe Gets Some of Its Sacred Artifacts (and its sense of self-worth) Back
Link
Is the day approaching when other distinct peoples realize that they are destroyed when they are forced to blend into an artificial plain-wrap "American" identity as many of the buttinsky Great White Mothers and Great White Fathers have demanded for many years?
And, just what is that plain-wrap American identity? It is usually an aracial watered down "white" identity, even when this is unspoken and even when it is denied.
Before anything else, a "people" is its genes. Everything else is layered on and is secondary.
That's the way of nature even though America has tried to deny this almost since its founding and as it has tried to blend away differences (read destroy distinct peoples).
Now, we're seeing distinct peoples such as various Indian tribes and the native Hawaiians taking back their authentic identities and telling the Great White Mothers and Great White Fathers that they no longer want to pretend to be White people, and that they like themselves, their cultures, and their own ways just fine.
