As an aside, I read that as ‘serious question for insightful reptiles’...yes, I need to get my eyes checked...

You’re deficient in history, as well? Which one making fun of the protesters was you?

Seriously? You’re THIS deficient in HISTORY? Alaska belonged to the Natives...Louisiana belonged to the Natives...Texas and California belonged to the Natives...Hawaii belonged to the Natives (Native Hawaiians)...Minnesota belonged to the Natives...Mni So Dah...a Lakota name. So, you’re REALLY this dense? The entire…

Nope, that is a bullshit cop-out excuse. Studies show men know DAMN WELL from non-verbal clues in any situation, but they just choose to ignore them in sexual situations.

Not ‘willingly’, because he kept pushing, insisting.

Because too often in such a circumstance, it turns violent. That is what women fear by blatantly saying no, that the ‘rejection’ will cause him to react with violence. Stop blaming us because you’re an idiot.

It takes one to start the conversation. Why does there have to be MULTIPLE for you to take this behaviour seriously? It also has to do with warning other women so they don’t have to go through that.

My take on the first part of the story isn’t exactly popular. DO NOT GO BACK TO HIS PLACE ON THE FIRST DATE, OR IF YOU’RE NOT JUST WANTING TO GET LAID! Sorry GIRLS (who are blaming us ‘older women’ for this take), take some responsibility, because yes, you SHOULD be able to go back to his place and have him not expect…

And she’s still doing it, still in a skimpy “Native” outfit, still in a headdress that was never worn by Cherokees. And is never worn by women.

Are any of them Apache? Kaya is claiming it was an Apache rez near Dallas, but it ‘disappeared’. Just...poof. No one knows what happened...it just up and left, or something.

No. It becomes problematic when you combine all this and try to appear to be, or even claim to be, Native. We encourage people to buy from Native artists, not non-Natives making Native-style arts and crafts. There is also the Indian Arts and Crafts Act, which makes it illegal to sell Native-style crafts and claim it’s…

Actually, yeah. Did you know tribes employ genealogists? No? Surprise! And...no connecton found. As to the rest of your drivel, after your first statement, the rest is irrelevant.

Sad that you think you have clue one what is really going on from one article that doesn’t even cover it properly.

So, you’re colonized, then. You don’t care what the rest of “your people” go through. You live white. And you don’t have to tell me the ‘bad shit’ that has gone on, we’re well aware of it, been fighting it since 1492...don’t know if you heard about that. Your condescension shows you don’t live as a Native, and you…

Why not, you do.

Sadly, even in, now 2018, people DO still take it as an emblem of Native American cultureS—-plural, since every tribe has it’s own culture, they’re not all alike. This is shown by the hundreds of nasty messages in my Twitter notifications daily.

Oh, and 75% of Natives don’t live on the rez, but the stats are the same.

That’s just it, too many people look to mainstream icons instead of at actual living, breathing, speaking Natives. And when we do speak, we’re told to shut up and sit down, and that they’re ‘honouring’ us.

Jane, Google works for idiots, too, so I suggest you give it a shot. Or at least read my entire comment, like where it says, “On reservations/reserves, rez cops have had no jurisdiction over non-tribal residents, so serial rapists live there, can rape freely with no punishment.” 

Because she is still doing it. And she is still wrong. And she is still not Cherokee, and she is still representing even Cherokees wrong, and she attacked out of the blue when the conversation was ABOUT her, but not directed AT her.
