This album is clearly a celebration of Indigenous culture and I doubt anyone would ever be offended by the initial title, but now that it's properly put into context for me, I suppose it isn't as I originally thought. I concede I don't know much about the history of indigenous peoples.

I can understand why you'd feel that way Dettlaff. If anything, part of the issue with the term *is* that it isn't offensive/seen as such by many people. It's certianly not as bad as the n-word but as I said before it's still one rooted in racism and European hegemony.

Sorry to Colton and others, I'll have to do some reading up on the subject.

Doesn't help that back when I worked for a DVD store at my local mall two of the managers who trained us told us to check for "Indian status cards," to give them a discount on all store products. So I guess I've just been going through most of my life thinking it was normal.

Worth noting of course that I'm not Native American myself so my interpretations/understandings are based only on what I've read/heard from others as well and certainly may be off base.

Well, as someone whose race actually contains the word "Indian" and whose life has been affected by Native Americans being referred to as Indians, I'll think upon your 20-something words of wisdom.



Again, thank you, white jesus.

"SandwichBubble you have to be trolling, right?"

At first, yeah. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit hooked myself now.



"yup just meme your way out of this one"

I thought a fellow indian would've appreciated the Shyamalan reference.

Best thing to come out of this stupid circlejerk is that there's now 4(?) confirmed(?) indians on this site. Nice to meet you.

I think the best thing to come out of this besides acquiring new knowledge is that I'm getting back into AnCo now!
