That’s an important article, and great to see you getting your feelings across. Just watched a 2-part documentary on the BBC that might interest you, if you can access it over there.

I just checked the BBC America site, and it doesn’t seem to be available on there yet. That’s a shame, as it was very good.
Best wishes, Pete.

Lara. Would you know anything about Native American birthing stones? Told they were egg-shaped, heated and used to aid/speed birthing process. Have been unable to find info online. Thought you or a follower may have insight.

Why do we keep building better roads to hell? I am so sick of the stench of patriarchy in these actions. Native people are adults; they deserve to have their voices heard and their rights empowered. Good intentions are just the vehicle by which we continue to oppress people who still scare us….

“However, the Goldwater Institute, a right-wing advocacy group with ties to the Koch brothers, argues the law, which only allows Native children to live with non-Native foster parents if a tribal family is not available, is a form of racial segregation.”
Anything those guys are against, I’m for!

Me too Alan. All the money in the world is still just money. Kids deserve better protections. For sure.
