I feel there are more pressing matters and issues that Native America and Indian Country must face -- more important than what we call ourselves or how others refer to us. There are far more racist terms that can be used. Historically, I think the term 'hispanic' was created by the census board and is not culturally based terminology. So, whether I call myself Indian, Native American, Chickasaw or Mutt, I am part of a proud heritage no matter what you call us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
