Hello, you can see my name at the top of the screen, but I would like to carry
these GIF files also.  I do not carry this echo right now, but I should by
tomorrow or the next day.  I live in Niagara Falls, CANADA and I only have a

        -  what the child was carrying, purse, tote bag, sports equipt.
        -  Where the child was last seen
           -- street, complex
           -- City, State.
        -  When the Child was last seen.
        -  If the Child was accompanied by anyone
           -- description of the other person

This is a crock of shit.

1)  The Thai people speak a Sino-Tibetan language, which links them
directly to the Chinese and Burmese people.  Malayo-Polynesian languages
are spoken in the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia in South-East Asia. 
The Thai are NOT Polynesian!!!

2)  The Tlingit language and culture are unique in the world, and not at
all related to Polynesian or other cultures.  The same is true of their
artwork.

3)  I don't suppose YOU yourself have made this easy journey from Hawaii
to Japan to Alaska?  You want to know how difficult it was to cross the
Pacific before the modern ship?  Read about the Pacific crossings made by
Spanish galleons going from the Philippines to Mexico for centuries during
Spanish rule in those places.  If you still aren't convinced, try this
"Alaska Crossing" yourself.

What will you armchair anthropologists come up with next?  Links between
the Tlingits and the "lost continents" of Atlantis and Mu?  It seems that
when anthropologists or archaeologists have a theory to prove, they will
disregard the evidence sitting right under their noses to make themselves
look good.

How do we know the "Bering Strait Migration" didn't go the other way?

Chew on this for a while, people.

Uh, hi...
	I don't want to attract any flames whatsoever with this posting,
but it may happen.  I was reading the supposed 'UN definition' of 'indigenous
peoples' and it really struck me that although I really yearn to be connected
with my culture (irish/british/scotch/italian) I am just from New Jersey, and
'native' to that chemically wasted land only by birth and a couple generations
of people from Europe.
	I can identify with the 'alien' culture, i.e. being arrested, paying
1/4 - 1/3 of my wages to the government, having employers that don't give a 
shit if my teeth fall out on the keyboard or have a registered car, etc. So
I really am anti-government in that the pompous assholes that run the show
do so for the sake of their own careers and what ever coke money they can
skim.  Of that I am convinced.  (By the Way, don't let my temp internet node
address fool you, I am just working as a temp. secretary for the next week 
at Laurence Berkeley Labs!!!)
	So I make no claims to be a native American.  I feel that the treatment
of (in the US) minorities (by statistics, but who can believe them in CA?)
is horrible, but I have had guns pointed at me by cops and criminals alike 
and I hate it!  I have never been shot thank the Goddess yet but I am afraid
that my lifestyle, which is really pro-family, pro-work, etc. is not bad but
the government 'above' and the  bums 'below' want to take it away from me!!!
	So I feel like or envision the police, etc. as an 'invading force' in
my life, although without them the laws they have enforced on me have 
suppressed me enough so that in anarchy my house would be gutted, girlfriend
..  well you get the picture!  So I am just really at a loss, had a .22

I'll be glad when this thread is exhausted.

I've seen this pattern often enough to be tired of it.
In any gathering of our people, it seems that first we have to sort
through the last 250 years, day by day, and finally conclude
that there's nothing we can do to change it.
Somtimes, on a good day, we conclude that we can't even blame anyone
now alive for it, or them, or those, or this.

I thought, given that this group is restricted to those with access
to a computer and the ability to use the computer to contact this net,
that somehow that would raise the level of conversation above any
I can find in any bar on my Res, or any red necked honky tonk.

No, I find instead that the conversation here is merely more general.
And with a slightly higher level of vocabulary.

I wait for the time when we move into the 1990's, and issues that are
relevant to us, not our Grandfathers.

Seeing as how we're still on the Bering Straights, we probably got
a hell of a long way to go...

We havn't even landed a single white man, let alone fought any war,
(which I'm sure will be refought, yet again, battle by battle, by
people who were not there), put all of us on Reservations, (which will
be resisted to-the-death by those of us who do not live on theirs),
and subjected to genocide, except we will, of course, capitalize
Genocide.

It has never costs me anything to claim my heritage. No one has ever
taken anything from me, cheated me in any way, nor stood in my way
because of the race I am.

They have, however, done all of the above because of who I am.

Put another way, as it was by a Grandfather,

"Boy, they don't hate ye because yer San Poil, they hate ye because
yer Lyle!"

I welcome conversation with anyone who understands that.

To the rest of you, Red, White, or other, I offer a clue.

The date is January 20, 1993.

I agree with you. Most people think that this all ended in 1890 but to many
Native peoples what is going on right now is actually WORSE than what went on in
the 1800's. There is plenty of land theft going right now, right wing death

A problme or a thing that I have noticed, atleast here in Nome is the problme
of Cultural as well as Genetic degredation (maybe not the right word),
basically that alot of local Eskimos seem to want to become "white", dress
white, look white and date whites.. Also they try to not speak their native
tongue(s)..To worship white gods. Also do "white man" drugs (alcohol, coke,
marijuana(?). Also they have children with whites (Im speaking of women)...
Its an interesting thing to see.. Im guilty of helping at times, I like women.
Im mostly white (15/16th if I can believe my dad)..

Seems like kids here need to havea reason to keep their culture, other than 
the subsistance value and for membership in the local native corps..
