Little Hawk, every now and then you shoot an arrow straight to the heart of a matter. You have more Indian in you than me, although I may have more Indian family than you. I am pleased you don't buy into the bullshit that gets tossed around in these threads.

I know of a situation in a northern settlement where some people--half dozen or so--got drunk and slaughtered about 100 caribou needlessly and wantonly. One of the elders said at the time that the caribou would never return. The caribou hadn't, and that was about twelve years after the slaughter. Before the mass killing, hunters could go a few miles and harvest a few dozen, gut them and bring them back for the community. After that, hunting the meat was difficult because the critters had first to be found, and sometimes that meant looking over forty to sixty miles away.

Sometimes I wish white people didn't know so damned much.
