I would not call them the new Indians. The New Indians are those dispossessed in our global economy up the block and standing with cardboard signs "will work for food." or "No work, no food, no home, Help." <BR/><BR/>There are Apaches living as Apaches, and as impressively as any of us ModRN NDNs may think ourselves to be, we are the ones who are fading in the sunset. <BR/><BR/>Tibet and Hopi land are spiritual poles of the Earth, and I do have faith in the universal divinity of our purposes given by the Creator, to be true to the ERTH and strong, no matter the temporal limitations of our Westernized intellects or the ferocity of oppressors with thousands of years practice.<BR/><BR/>The Tibetans are not obstacles, but markers in the general overall struggle of indigenous peoples against colonizers past and present(economic).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-54854240781220604642008-03-28T22:59:00.000-07:002008-03-28T22:59:00.000-07:00Writerfella here -- OMG, it still is ongoing. ...Writerfella here --<BR/> OMG, it still is ongoing.

China's aggression against Tibet is a sort of "Manifest Destiny" stab againt that Central Asian nation: which China claims out of an imperial "might makes right", "Tibet is ours" for sole reason that they were capable of invading it, conquering it, and the international community acquiesces, having done as much for Tibet has has been done for the Darfur region.<BR/><BR/>And if you like Tibet, just wait until the PROC's "manifest destiny" crosses another international border to the east, to Taiwan... the PROC has for all intents and purposes announced a plan to visit a holocaust on this nation which also finds itself a target.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-4011366803570996832008-03-26T22:45:00.000-07:002008-03-26T22:45:00.000-07:00Writerfella here -- Further great!
