Have
you ever been reading a good story and something happens so your mind starts to
drift away from the story? You want to keep reading the story to its
conclusion, but your mind has other ideas.
So,
what do you do?
This
article did this to me, it was will planned out, it was saying what I wanted to
hear. However, I just could not get past the reason why I started reading it in
the first place.
This
is the reason why writing about Native Americans should be written by a Native
American, or at the very least after proof reading by one of us.
The
name Red Skin is in fact offensive and the reason as to how the name came about
is even more offensive.
However
the author (Kevin Ewlodt) shot himself in the foot even before starting to
write with something even more insulting to me then everything else that he
wrote and I am betting that he does not know of this insult?
What we natives wear when not in
our street cloths and at our gatherings is not a COSTUME it is called a
REGALIA!
I
know that to a non traditionalist that this sounds tribunal and after going to
powwows these last few years, I can see the why of this confusion!
A
costume is warn by a clown in a carnival or circus and in the last few years
our gatherings and powwows have been a joke, caravel and a circus however wrong
is wrong!
Part
number two will try to explain why this is wrong?
