Writerfella here -- Poor Tim! He has forgotten or purposely overlooked that the political systems of most Native tribes always both have been matriarchal and socialistic. If a Native tribe in central Canada happens to be on hard times, it is not the fault of the Seminoles in south Florida. There is no 'butterfly effect' between tribes and there never has been one. The only way Tim ever could be correct in his ruminations is if today's Native tribes abandoned their own tribal identities and cultures and existences, and just became "Indians" as AIM wishes them to do. Now, what does all of that really mean? 'Nuff said... All Best Russ Bates 'writerfella'
