Hey Little Hawk, Kola:
I completely agree with you as to defending your village. I now have the honnor of being a peacemaker in an Algonquin nation's court by reason of helping to defend a reservation against a violent incursion by state police while I was in law school. There is a difference between defending your families lives at a moment when reason does not prevail, and the cold after the fact murder by a state.
All the best,
Larry
