People ask us ‘When did the Indians all die?’ They don’t realize they’re still around. The importance of Keeping the Tradition is that it lets people know Native Americans are still here, that they have a lively culture and that they have many traditions still going strong.

“…These native lands are the entitled properties of the Amazon people, and to sell them off without even consulting us is a violation of our ancestral rights. This is why we rioted on August 9. Well, how would you feel if all of a sudden some authority came to tell you that you had to get out of your house because a rich company wanted to settle there, and you had to find yourself another place to live?…”
-Saul Puerta Peña, of the Peruvian indigenous association AIDESEP

Actually, the liberal leftists are the worst things that’s ever happened to America, let alone [to] the Indian people. They are, supremely, extremely racist against Indian people. The liberal left is our worst enemy.

It was great, but it’s funny because Indians are so invisible and because my career has gotten so big that I think people…they don’t forget that I’m Indian, but it becomes very secondary to the success. When I was on Colbert I had a double consciousness or triple consciousness about it…I was in the moment but then I was also thinking that this is really revolutionary for Indians…a rez boy holding his own verbally with one of the best in the business. It was big. I was proud that I also have that artistic ability. It was fun. He was a great guy. He came into the green room afterwards and congratulated me, which was very decent of him.

American Indians are caught in the same dilemma as libertarians. We’re neither left nor right. We’re just for freedom. The left only came around when they needed martyrs. When we wouldn’t be martyrs, they abandoned us.

“we only have blood to shed in this, our ‘70 year internship’ on this side of eternity; in our resurrected bodies we won’t have blood; so it’s an incredible honor to shed our blood in the cause of Christ, because we will never get a chance again, for all of eternity“via Doug's Life
