And Russ, are you saying Native writers <I>shouldn't</I> admire and emulate your career? Given how often you've talked about your awards for "How Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth" and "Rite of Encounter," that's a little hard to believe.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-1169422301324278132007-01-21T15:31:00.000-08:002007-01-21T15:31:00.000-08:00The human race. last time I checked, we all belong...The human race. last time I checked, we all belonged.

My point regarding the lofty title of "role model" is that natives in public life are expected to take on the responsibility, whether or not they seek it out. Of course, they CAN deny it, but much better to embrace the responsibility.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-1169282447444910022007-01-20T00:40:00.000-08:002007-01-20T00:40:00.000-08:00I think Carole Levine, who wrote the role-model ar...I think Carole Levine, who wrote the role-model article, believes prominent Indians <I>should</I> consider themselves role models and act the part. But she didn't say prominent Indians <I>have to be</I> role models whether they want to be or not. Obviously, these people are free to reject the role-model mantle and do whatever they please. <BR/><BR/>So the question is whether they accept the role-model mantle or reject it. From what I've read about Floyd Red Crow Westerman, I'm betting he'd accept it.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01478763837213733775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-1169261193426285832007-01-19T18:46:00.000-08:002007-01-19T18:46:00.000-08:00Better yet, let's ask him if he perceives himself ...Better yet, let's ask him if he perceives himself or strives to be a role model.
