Nobody else in the world has a form like the Native American musical, and Americans should be very proud Picture Quote #1

I’m actually forced to write about Michigan because as a native of that state it’s the place I know best Picture Quote #1

The view of the local scene through the eyes of a native participant in that scene is a different window Picture Quote #1

Pennsylvania couldn’t be prouder of our native son, Joe Biden from Scranton. No one knows us better than Joe Picture Quote #1

I definitely feel like a native New Yorker. My personality was formed there Picture Quote #1

Angry Black White Boy is bananas! Actually, it’s a banana split with razor blades in it. Adam Mansbach is the white Richard Wright, and Angry Black White Boy is our generation’s Native Son Picture Quote #1

I think laughter is crucial. Some of the original cultures, like the Dalit and the Native American, don’t separate laughter and seriousness Picture Quote #1

Fascinating, often hilarious, always devastatingly truthful, The Inconvenient Indian is destined to become a classic of historical narrative. For those who wish to better understand Native peoples, it is a must read. For those who don’t wish to understand, it is even more so Picture Quote #1

We are always giving foreign names to very native things. If there is a thing that reeks of the glorious tradition of the old English tavern, it is toasted cheese. But for some wild reason we call it Welsh rarebit. I believe that what we call Irish stew might more properly be called English stew, and that it is not particularly familiar in Ireland Picture Quote #1

Before me, my grandfathers, my uncles and my father were all boxers because Native Americans had to box in boarding schools. But in my time, when I grew up in Lawton Oklahoma, we didn’t have boxing. I was a wrestler Picture Quote #1

You’ve got to invite Native Americans to the table, and Asians, and Chicanos. You cannot keep us in the back room anymore and give us notations on paper saying this is what you deserve. You have to invite us to the table because America is ours, too Picture Quote #1

A lot of native culture has been destroyed. So you already feel lost inside your culture. And then you add up feeling lost and insignificant inside the larger culture. So you end up feeling lost squared. And to never be recognized, to never have any power, you know, other minority communities actually have a lot of economic, cultural power Picture Quote #1

If you look at the statistics regarding Native Americans, you will see that most of the tribes since the 70s have improved their economic situation in some form. And this has been brought about by their aggressive assertion of their sovereign treaty rights Picture Quote #1

It’s really important to me to promote worthy causes. But not in a heavy, obligatory, responsibility way. I really admired that as a kid, learning about the ‘Elton John AIDS Foundation.’ And I was obsessed with The Indigo Girls. And they are the consummate activist group, always reaching out, especially to Native causes and things like that Picture Quote #1

In the long run, we will need many more African-American, Latino, and Native American leaders, and leaders from low-income communities, who can bring additional insight and a deeply grounded sense of urgency, and who are the most likely to inspire the necessary trust and engagement among students’ parents and community leaders Picture Quote #1

There is a legacy of violence against native women that has gotten worse and worse over time Picture Quote #1

Stuart Hall was an utterly unique figure. Although he arrived at the age of 19 from Jamaica and spent the rest of his life here, he never felt at home in Britain. This juxtaposition was a crucial source of his strength and originality. Because of his colour and origin, he saw the country differently - not as a native, but as an outsider Picture Quote #1

All Americans are either immigrants or descendants of ancestors who came from somewhere else, including Native Americans. We should all respect and admire immigrants Picture Quote #1

Everyone who’s born in the Western Hemisphere is a Native American. We are all Native Americans Picture Quote #1

There are better mothers than disaster. A native land is the best of all mothers. We American Jews have a native land we love. But it is even better to have a native land who loves us Picture Quote #1

There’s almost nothing like native Midwesterner anywhere else in the world, except in Asia. They’re miracles all in themselves Picture Quote #1

While they trace their history back to wars that helped to ethnically cleanse Native Americans and to their exploits in the Civil War fighting for the South, the modern-day Rangers were created to help rejuvenate a defeated and demoralized U.S. imperialism after the war in Vietnam Picture Quote #1

You’d never know it from reading the rest of the Native writers, but Indians actually grew up with American pop culture Picture Quote #1

My family is Native American, and I was raised with Native American ceremonies Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

Growing up, my mother and grandparents often talked about our family’s Native American heritage. As a kid, I never thought to ask them for documentation - what kid would? Picture Quote #1

Think about the number of people who do film music, make records and have a Native American heritage - and I may be the only one on the list Picture Quote #1

The path to glory is rough, and many gloomy hours obscure it. May the Great Spirit shed light on your path, so that you may never experience the humility that the power of the American government has reduced me to. This is the wish of a man who, in his native forests, was once as proud and bold as yourself Picture Quote #1

It is my land, my home, my father’s land, to which I now ask to be allowed to return. I want to spend my last days there, and be buried among those mountains. If this could be I might die in peace, feeling that my people, placed in their native homes, would increase in numbers, rather than diminish as at present, and that our name would not become extinct Picture Quote #1

When it comes down to pure ornamental cursing, the native American is gifted above the sons of men Picture Quote #1

I wanted in my lifetime to vote for a radical Native American woman, since my vision of any future that we might have is that it will be led by women and older women Picture Quote #1
