I wasn't sure where to post this. Nov. is National native American month. Why isn't it more publisized/recognized? There is a lot of African American/Latino awareness. I feel like native people are being left out and forgotten.

Because we are a bunch of thieves....Isn't Arnold giving us a lot of publicity.....Ask the kids what they are studying in school....It isn't about the Indians.

This is so true when I was in school, there were only a few pages on Natives and the things that were in them were all negative and untrue in my opinion, and that would be it along with some pictures showing us killing people and saying that we are savages. But would spend a lot of time telling about Columbus and others like they had to come here and tame us like we were wild animals. (Hoping not to affend anyone this is just how I see it), My son is homeschooled so he is taught about his Native background everyday along with his other studies.

i agree... this is my #1 complaint - why don't we get as much recognition as wmns history month... asian american, african american, hispanic heritage month!?!??!
so i decided to take it up w/the local news stations - i wrote to thier news desks and asked 'em... was surprised to receive a response, they were hungry for all kindsa info, so i e-mailed 'em history and a list of events... think i've seen anything on the news!!?!??!!??!
what can you do!?
