[QUOTE]Originally posted by Purl Gurl: [QB] Now, onward and upward into more exciting topics. Do you boys know how many hundreds of pictures I have provided for you? [IMG]http://www.purlgurl.net/allstock/indian07.jpg[/IMG] Rock N Roll Indians! Of course the band is playing Steppenwolf's "Born To Be Wild" after all many believe us to be nothing more than wild savages. No chain link fence around the band, no broken beer bottles, no crazy drugged out freaks leaping off the stage, no Hells Angels guards. I comment we are all about children, our family. For an event like this, at a powwow, children are encouraged to come up and sit right on the stage, and they do. Quite clear those kids are totally absorbed by the band. Yes, he is a tribal chief playing guitar. American Indians are all about children and honoring our ancestors. Kids and dignity, very important to us. Maybe this cultural aspect will help you to understand why I become so angry when people bring hatred here, bring dishonor here. In our culture, when a member dishonors himself, really dishonors himself, he is banned from our lands, often for good. Honor can be exemplified by a custom, not practiced today but well respected. When an Indian woman loses her brave, her husband, and she is too old to fend for herself, she will "walk off" out into the wilderness to die. None try to save her, none try to help her. Doing so would be to disrespect her. She is doing the Good for the tribe. She has become a burden to the tribe and her last act of protecting her tribe family, is to sacrifice her life so she will not be a burden. This is the type of honor we are taught. Taha [/QB][/QUOTE]
