About Matt Lauer Being Criticized
Even a well respected person such as Matt Lauer still doesn't get it,
or could care less about the disrespect?
I did respect him.
I never heard an apology, did you?
Native American custom is, when a gift is given, a gift of similar value was to be given.
If it could not be given, the original gift was expected to be returned.
One truth around Indian Country about the words, "Indian Giver," refers to someone who,
gives a present and then wants it back, it is a reference to Native Americans historical past,
and it is very offensive to the Native American culture.
My Ancestors spoke about a lost European traveler who was fed, clothed and cleaned up
and was allowed to borrow a horse from the tribe to complete the trip home, once home,
the traveler was to give the horse back to his escort, who was one of our people, only this
traveler had the escort arrested for stealing his horse and was hung for horse stealing.
