I understand exactly what bugs you about this, gnu. Just thought I'd say that...because I do, okay?

I was involved in the traditional Native American movement for many years. I saw much game-playing and opportunism on both sides of the fence. It's a very mixed picture, and many people use something like this as an emotional bludgeon on other people. That can get very hypocritical and self-serving at times.

There is abuse...and it goes every which way. It ain't all on one side of the fence. And whenever there is a large amount of money at stake...! Well, then the sharks start to circle.
