Part of my Mother's family are Lakota Sioux.

This sounds silly, but the pride I have in that side of my family, just swelled to the size of the Hindenburg.

It's hella awesome. :D

Good on them. I'm impressed too.

Been reading your journal quite religiously recently cos it's been quite interesting with all that wedding stuff. Love the emerald ring and hope you have a good xmas x

[olivetree]

You as well, Les! Have a great holiday.

This is pretty awesome! I'd love to see how this plays out.

We did fuck the Indians pretty hard, eh?

[olivetree]

And continue to do so, my friend. I say good on them for not lying down and taking it like bitches.

When I get around to finishing "Lies My Teacher Told Me", I shall lend it to you. Excellent, excellent, excellent read. And... y'know... something to get you all aggro n' shit.

Yes, but they got back at us -- tobacco and gambling.

Why don't they just move to the Keys? Key West has been its own country for AGES.

[pocket_cathy]

I say let them go. If they come back, we will know they were always ours to begin with.

[pwiggily]

Wow. That was fucked up on so many levels.

I love you.

[scintillare2]

Ditto.
