Guest speaker on June 21 was really awesome to hear. He really showed us what it was like to be an Indian back in the 80s. He mentioned the Indian families that were forced out of their land with guns to their heads. The fact that American people really had to use guns and install fear in their eyes to get them to move from their homes. I really wish that it wouldn’t have gone that way and would have just given them a choice to either leave or stay rather than threatening to kill them. He also brought up very gut wrenching facts on the native Indian females being raped. It is really crazy how it was that 1 of 3 females were in anyway sexually harassed and treated like a doll. It hurts my heart to know that women are not respected like how they should be, man camps have had a big impact on these numbers because of the women being almost sold to men so they could have their way with them. Then he brought up a very different point of view on the mascots of sports teams. I personally am not against native sports team names. I think in a way it could in a way benefit the native people if they were to get involved in a positive way and help incorporate their heritage in the team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
