1. THANK YOU-- I had meant to post that on my boards, and then

couldn't find the link.

2. how heart breaking. Gale Norton and Bush don't pay Native Americans

the debts we owe them but they expect the young folk to die for the Bush cabal. I am going to be sick. This country makes me so ashamed.

3. Go with honor, brother...

YOUR honor, not the lies of the government that threw you away.

[brer cat]

6. Amen. Amen. Amen. Go with YOUR honor.

The debts we owe and can never repay grow astronomically.

Peace to his family, and someday we can hope for a government that fully appreciates the sacrifices he made.

5. I am speechless

"American Indians have the highest per-capita participation in the armed services of any ethnic group."


“Earthly property, it doesn’t mean nothing right now — it’s life that has worth,” says war veteran Sylvester Bad Cob.

7. George Bush has never visited an Indian reservation

while in office. Not that we want him to.

[Bobbieo]

9. Maybe George never visted a "rez"

but he sent his good buddy Jack Abramoff - whom he doesn't remember ever meeting - to stand in for him.

13. Adam VanAlstine Ben's Best Friend Killed 02-25-2006 Was I/2 American Indian

Rest in Peace V. His funeral was last week. Ben hasn't called since he attended. I know he is in a world of hurt. Four weeks from coming home and V was killed. These poor kids. I constantly grind my fucking teeth and my heart is always in my throat. This has to be stopped.

Lakota Prayer



A Prayer by Lakota Sioux dedicated to the dead from the Vietnam War
Hóyewaye...! Mitakuye oyasin...! Remember this... We are all related...!

GrandMother East:
From you comes the sun which brings life to us all; I ask that you have the sun shine on my friends here, and bring a new life to them -- a life without the pain and sadness of the world; and to their families, bring your sun for they also need your light for their lives.

GrandFather South:
You bring the storms from the south which brings the rains to nourish us and our crops. Be gentle when you fall on my friends; and as the rain touches them, let it wash away the pain and sadness that they carry with them.

GrandMother West:
You take the sun from us and cradle it in your arms, then you bring darkness onto us so that we may sleep. When you bring the darkness to my friends here, do so without the nightmares that we have had for so long. Let your stars and moon shine on my friends in a gentle manner; and as they look at the stars, they remember that those stars are the spirits of my friends shining on them and those friends are at peace.

GrandFather North:
You are the Warrior, you have ridden alongside my friends here into battle, you have also felt their love and caring when you were wounded or lonely; ride alongside of them, for now they are in this the hardest battle for their life, the battle for inner peace. Now is the time for you to care for them.

GrandFather Sky:
May your songs of the winds and clouds sweep the pain and sadness out of my friends' hearts; as they hear those songs, let them know the spirits who are with those songs are at peace.

GrandMother Earth:
I have asked all the other GrandFathers and GrandMothers to help my friends rid themselves of the troubles that weigh so heavy on their hearts. This way, the weight they carry will be less; and they will walk more softly on you.

GrandMother Earth:
From your womb all spirits have come when they return to you; cradle them gently in your arms and allow them to join their friends in the skies. If they want to hurry themselves to you, tell them you are not ready; and they must wait, for now they can pass on peace to others.

May the Great Spirit watch over you, and may you be at peace.

Lakota Sioux
