Larger than Life
This one is hard to see but it is Robin and Guy on their knees at the Big Oak. 
I made this vid for last year's event but was not able to participate so I am sharing it with you this year. It is meant to give a smile...
The Real Native American Stereotypers
I normally avoid reality on this blog and tend to blog to escape the chaos of real life but today I am a bit irritated and decided to make my aggravation public. I am annoyed by a group of left-wing bloggers who under the pretense of fighting stereotyping on behalf of Native Americans really use their blogs to encage us. These bloggers fantasize in their minds that we natives are enchanting sacred beings and set limitations on what we are suppose to be like. So when a native youth jams to rap or a native girl adorns a cute pair little miss-match socks or a native father takes his child to a soccer game, they are condemned for stepping out of the isolated box that these masked advocates have dreamed up in their head. These bloggers have mentally invented a set of standards and have isolated us inside their fantasy cage. In their minds, natives dance with wolves and foresee the future in the spirit world. We should live in earthy dwelling and sing to the stars. We are not mystical, we are not sacred: we are humans! The only things that are sacred is nature and spiritual beings not of this realm and if you truly understood we natives than you would know this. And when a native breaks these unwritten laws that you have conjured, we are accused of being ignorant of our heritage or not possessing Native Pride. We are condemned and ridiculed. We are told that we have low self-esteem or that we are traders to our on race. We are lectured that our parents did not raise us properly. You scold "this is what comes of walking the white man’s path”.
I like to read J.R.R Tolkien books, watch movies about King Arthur, and cook Italian cuisine, AND this does not make me any less native for stepping outside of your box. It means I am tolerant, open-minded, and curious to learn about other cultures. Possessing acceptance and not being ignorant will not erase my Native Pride and move me from our traditions. Tolerance will not weaken my blood. I will not forget my native ways just because I find pleasure in un-native things. I refuse to allow bullies like you to intimidate me and segregate me. Indulging in modern society will not assimilate us as you warn. Such warnings are really scare tactics that certain people inflict when they really want us to submit to oppressive chains to promote their veiled agenda.
You are not native and you never will be no matter how much you fantasize about being one. Your fantasies have evolved into delusions. You need to separate fantasy from reality and stop using us natives as pawns in your imaginary game. And if you are a native who has fell prey to these radical fanatics and mistake derivation with un-bigoted flexibility, ask yourself who set these niches for us; was it a wise elder from our ancestry or some new-age ex-hippy pretending to teach natives the way? Modernization and expanding our minds will not assimilate us, we will not evaporate just because we indulge from time to time in another’s art or because you slap on a Swatch Watch. We are stronger than that, 500 years is proof enough. Native Pride is not what you watch on TV or reveal in what you wear, it is reflected in your soul, embedded in your heart, and no new-age blogger can ever take that away from you. Native Pride is something these kinds of people cannot even begin to understand.
So if you are one of those bloggers reading this, go ahead and insult me, condemn me, ridicule me, even pity me. Go back to your blog and blog away about treasonous natives like me as it is people like you, the ones who claim to fight stereotyping, who is really stereotyping natives. As I said, Native Pride is something you will never truly understand.
