~`_ The Spirit of the Eagle speaks into the soul _'~

I cannot believe this...I never used the term "redskins" to refer to any of my brothers and sisters...but this is just beyond me. I always felt uncomfortable with that word, and now I know why!

from http://www.iwchildren.org/redskinhate.htm

A REDSKIN IS AN ANIMAL
When the Native American is referred to as a REDSKIN they are being called a non human.
What you are being told is the part of you that is Native is a GODLESS BEAST
If you do not feel this, it is because the ones who hate you have destroyed
the Human Being that should exist in you.
YOU CAN BE SURE YOUR ANCESTORS KNOW WHAT THIS WORD MEANS
