ARE YOU DISTRACTED ENOUGH YET?
Today‘s #ranttime is about how this man has to have his fingers in every. Single. Pie. Just because he thinks he can. And to distract us.
I don‘t care what the Washington football team is called. If he wants to change the name again, how about the Epsteins? Or the Orangeskins?
This regime doesn‘t exactly have a great record when it comes to Native Americans or respecting the city of Washington either. News links⬇️
One of my favorite photography collections... Edward S. Curtis.

pickI selected this book for The Storygraph's genre challenge. It is a great introduction to the struggles of indigenous people throughout the history of the United States. It is especially important to recognize their fight as our government continues to ignore their sovereignty, as evidenced by the recent Supreme Court ruling for greed over non-Christian religious freedom.
pickGreat question and answer book about North American Indians!
pickI don't even remember how this ended up in my library holds. But it is very interesting.

This is another one that leaves me feeling completely inadequate. I don't know where to even begin to express the scope of the story or the impact it has had on me. I urge anyone that enjoys historical fiction, multi-generational storytelling, and having your heart torn from your chest to read it immediately.
Five HUGE stars.
It wrecked me.
Read it.
pickIt took me a bit to get used to the style of the story and it starts out a bit slow as we learn about the Only People and their lives/culture, but once Young Hunter set out on his journey, I was hooked. I especially loved his relationship with his dogs!
“Reed looked hard at Young Hunter as she spoke those last words and he felt a shiver go down his spine. He understood. He saw who the fire hunters were and the greatness of their danger to all the people. He saw that they were beings to be pitied and feared. He saw too that his own weak seeing was needed now to help these people of the Village Between the Hills, as well as his own Dawn Land People.”
“The dogs looked up at him and then turned to run back in the direction from which they had come. Young Hunter faced the west and began to make his way quickly down the hill, angling toward the headland where his uncle had taken him four autumns before. As he ran, a part of his divided mind retold him that story of the hunter and his dogs. The rhythm of his grandmother‘s voice speaking the tale blended with the soft beat of his running feet.”
“All of the fear that had edged close to him was gone now. One of the dogs in the lean-to behind him stretched its legs, pressing them against Young Hunter‘s back. He would not think of tomorrow now. He would hold the sweetgrass basket close to his face and smell it; he would enjoy the warmth of his fire, and soon, the taste of his food. It would be enough. For now, it would be enough. Tomorrow he would reach the village of the Salmon People.”
First Coulter's comment that stated “we didn't kill enough Indians“ now Little t is threatening the NFL Commanders to return to the name Redskins...🤨🤬.
For those who don't know, words like, “redskin,“ “squaw,“ & “red apple“ are similar to Native Americans as the N word or Oreo cookie for African Americans.
