From JQ Public (referring to Indians, not to white men like me):

Ya know if the pale face follow'd your ways of treating the earth we wouldn't [have] alot of the pollution problems we have today. Don't give up you are America's greatest heroes!

From Carol J.:

Great article. I belong to a Yahoogroup called American_Indian_Injustice. They're off topic right now but I'm going to forward this to that group. Thanks Rob.

From Joan K.:

I really appreciate the information this provides. Also, several years ago McDonald's had Chicken McNuggets wearing feather headdresses on their paper tray liners....

Thanks for this news. It's a disheartening reminder of how desperately young people need to be educated to become culturally aware and sensitive--to avoid racist stereotyping.

Peace,
