love is a verb, love is a doing word / feathers on my breath / gentle impulsion
For anyone who's seen this story (about the Lakota Indians withdrawing from their treaties with the U.S. and becoming a totally sovereign nation) and is wondering how it will affect the Pretty Bird Woman House, comments at this post from DailyKos suggest that the move isn't necessarily legal, and that the media is misrepresenting the issue. So I don't think that the shelter is in danger of losing its grants and such, at least not yet.
I'm guessing that this is a way to bring already low international opinion against the U.S. (in the wake of the U.N.'s resolution on the rights of indigenous peoples and the Iraq war) to bear on Native issues; we'll see how well it works.
ETA: Another DKos post here. Has anyone seen a new article on the subject, or is it all the same AP story? My connection is sucking ass at the moment and NOT LETTING ME DO ANYTHING alskdjalskdjalsdkajsd. :/
