You should express honestly your thoughts on others who encroach on our ways.It seems that lately nothing is ours anymore,just to be taken and used at basically anyone's disposal,and not well either.I too believe that someone should be honored for their contributions to Native people and causes,but to have a non-ndn head dancer is just a step in the wrong direction for all involved.It just gives too many others license to exploit us even more.
If anything has been learned from history it's that"if you give an inch,they'll take a mile"....just another inch you'd be giving....keep smilin'1

I agree completely. Oh And I was being a bit of a smart a$$, I totally agreed with your point about the phrase "in my opinion", but I suspect I have used that phrase at times, however I am not known for sugar coating. My husband says I'm as tactful as an anvil to the head, I prefer to think of it as blunt honesty...just thought I'd have some fun, this discussion is going in circles & I am getting tired and about ready to say a few honest thoughts I have at this point, but am sure it would turn this thread from discussion to fight. really holding my tounge at this point.
