    What many non native people view as compensation toward Native Americans is actually part of our legal rights. Many Native peoples signed treaties with the United States government, these treaties are legally binding agreements that must be fully enforced. Many treaties stipulated that in exchange for land that the people would get a settlement, health care, and school among many other various rights. So please realize that these are not reparations or compensation, it’s a legal contract between the united states and each individual tribal group.

    I have heard of these theories and I would advise you not to say that to Native people because for me and my community we find that very offensive. We have many oral histories describing our origins and none talk of a mass migration from Asia. Many native people feel that they have always been where they are now and will always will be.

    I do not know if that is true, but one thing I have noticed is that most countries near the equator (where it is the warmest) tend to be the least productive or the poorest.

    Because they know that the men are gay, so the touching isn’t really sexually motivated.

    in reply to: A sheet between? #33243

    I was reading the book called Like Water For Chocolate about life on a MExican ranch at the turn of the century, and in it they talk about a sheet that is made for the newlyweds on their first night or marriage. It is like a regular sheet but has a hole in it so the couple can have sex and is only used that one night that they consumate their marriage.

    You should look more into your family’s history to determine if you are Native, going on looks alone is never a really good indicator. For example I am native and my younger sister and I are quite pale but my youngest sister is much darker than us. This is caused by some genetic throw back in her genes. You can never really tell what people are these days. Also different tribes were different shades of Brown, those from the south tended to be darker while those more north were fairer or had more tawny complextions.

    in reply to: Dreadlocks on white people #32344

    I think it would be a tad rediculous if someone was to be offended over someone else’s hair style. How can you own or have right to a hair style anyway? Also dread locks were around before the rastafarian movement. The natives of the caribbean islands and surrounding areas sometimes sported dread locks. evidence of this is in caricatures of kokopeli a well known native american figure. there is evidence that he was indeed a real person and you can see he has dread locks.

    How would this confuse your daughter? I really don’t think that is why you won’t date outside your race, maybe it is subconsious or something. Also, depending on the age, most children don’t really notice racial differences.

    I am part Corsican from the Mediterainean Sea and I would not call Cosicans white because they are so dark skinned compared to other peoples of Europe.

    in reply to: Are there ‘Black Irish’? #37645

    To my knowledge this is nothing but an urban legend but that is only because they have found no proof of any Spanish ships sinking. I saw something on the History Channel about it. There is another source for the name Black Irish but I cannot recall what it is. I am sure you can find more imformation on the topic online or in books.

    I do not think that Asian faces are plain, I am native American and our facial structures are in some ways similar to Asians. I love ‘cat’ eyes on women and squinty eyes on men.

    It all depends on the culture but I can safely say for most native american singing and chanting the words you hear are what is known as vocalbles which are sounds that have no real meaning they just add to the sound of the piece all together. There are songs out there that have actual native words, and there are some with a mix of vocables and words, while there are also some songs with nothing but vocables.
