Subject: cultural appropriation

Hello...
Please excuse any anger in this letter which seems out of place,
but I have just finished conversing with a professor who
exemplifies small-minded Euro-American racial superiority at its
worst.

Here's the problem.
I am working on a paper on Cultural Appropriation- the
"borrowing" (which is a euphemism, I believe, for "stealing") of
another culture's "forms" (poetry, design, ritual, myths,
stories,
legends, etc.) without an adequate understanding of that culture,
or without permission from that culture to (mis)represent their
works.  I fully realize that in this "cultural mosaic" of Canada,
one can not help but be influenced by other cultures.  I'm about
as white as one can be (Scandinavian background), but I love
Inuit and Native Indian art and myth.  My apartment is filled
with paintings, prints, baskets etc from Native artists.  I
suppose I am, to a small extent, a wanna-be...  However, I am
also very aware of Taiwanese "beadwork" and "quill baskets" which
are putting native American out of work,,, as well as "soapstone
Inuit carvings" made in plastics factories.  I am aware of movies
which wrongly depict ceremonies and rituals... and which promote
stereotypical beliefs which might lead one to think native
American People are "barbarians and savages."

Despite my examples of the power of traditional communities to
rectify many of the symptoms of enforced assimilation, despite
literary examples, personal examples, financial examples etc..
this professor still says "you haven't convinced me that Cultural
Appropriation has harmed the Indian community."  He also claims I
am being patronistic because I am very concerned with the effects
of cultural appropriation. Perhaps I am.

If I am, tell me.  And also, please, if you any of you on the
net, Native American or Euro-American have felt the effects of
cultural appropriation, please write and tell me.  he won't
believe me, but if I get enough stories, maybe he'll believe you.

Thanks ahead of time,
You can write me directly at vvonros3@mamut.wlu.ca  (but I'm a
little slow at figuring this computer mail stuff out, so rely on
the heading for accurate information of where to send your
replies!)

Would you be upset if scientists wanted to tear up St. Paul's Cathedral to
build an observatory in the middle of it, and have scientists walking through
during services constantly?  How about in the middle of the Vatican?  Or your
own church, whatever it is?  We have already desecrated more places that are
sacred to Native Americans than can be counted.  The few that are left must be
protected.  They have the right to practice their religion as much as anyone
else, a right that has been repeatedly denied them by the U.S. government
throughout the history of this country.  Desecrating yet another of the few
remaining sacred areas is denying them the right to practice their religion.
Or perhaps you have no religous beliefs, so you cannot understand this, but
surely you think Catholics and Baptists and Jews and other religous groups have
the right to practice their religions.  Why would you deny this right to Native
Americans?  They wer here first anyway.

Friends-

Thank you all for suggestions, addresses, and inspirations
regarding Canadian support of Native issues occurring in the US.
I certainly will continue my letter-writing campaigns on both sides
of the border.  Native-l has been a great informant of injustices
in Canada, the US and other countries.  Please keep the information
coming.  I doubt I would be aware of most of these injustices if
it weren't for the list.

I am taking a long deserved vacation for a couple weeks, but before
I go, I would like to clog up the lines with one more suggestion.
I am a horrible letter writer with absolutely no political acumen
whatsoever.  Do you think its a good idea to forward letters we
have written (to government officials, etc) concerning some of
these issues on the electronic-line so that those of you who are
brilliant letter writers can help those of us who write "I'm pissed
off- how could you do that" type letters to create more intelligent
and consequently more influential responses?  Just a suggestion.

(For those of you on Hopi-l who read my letter, you can understand
why I make this plea.- By the way, what is happening with that?)

Once again, thanks to those of you who contacted me privately and
on natchat, I will certainly continue my support on this side of
the border, and will start sprinkling the postal service with mail
to your side.

Yep, it's me again.  Still having problems with the forcast script.
I fixed the access problem using chmod 755 command.  However, when
I type 'forcast' now, it gives the following message:

forcast: =: not found
forcast: =: not found
forcast: =: not found

What have I done wrong this time :-)?


btw, I looked at line 9 and didn't even see a '{'  - what's the deal?

I followed many of the recommendations found in "Practical Unix
Security" by Garfinkel/Spafford, published by O'Reilly & Associates.

There is a chapter or two that deals with firewalling and network
security in general.  I found it very helpful in setting up my
Internet-connected machine.

Check in the file WXKEY.MAP in the same directory as you find the weather
maps. [The sign is likely to mean (Sorry, I do not have the file at hand):
tmeperature 90, dewpoint 60, wind west 15 knots, ceiling 25000 feet. The
shadedness of the ring defines how much of the sky is covered. If I recall
correctly observer station report this in x/8ths of the complete sky.]

One program is called 'xgns'. It is similar to 'xarchie' -- it doesn't
seem to do plots. I had to change the code -- the ip address of the
gns server is out of date.

Look in volume7 of a comp.sources.x archive (e.g. host ftp.uu.net, directory

Yes. The USENET Oracle exists and the address is:

The "Subject:" of the message must be something like "Oracle Most Wise,

I tried viewing some of these gifs, but found that none were in a "recognized
format" for my viewers; nor could I find a way to uncompress them.  I'm sorry
if I'm missing something obvious, but what format are these files in, and how
can I view them?

Coincidentally, today I learned of a fellow at CMU who keeps GIF files of the
latest weather over the US in his account.  The latest of these is:
	/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/jfriedl/weather/latest
Also is a key to the symbols on the weather maps in
	/afs/cs.cmu.edu/user/jfriedl/weather/key.gif
Check out the README file in his directory.

From David LeRoy's description of the gifs from vmd.cso.uiuc.edu, I suspect
that these may be the same gifs he mentions.

Take care.

If you do call customer service, be sure that you have the EXACT
