He mentioned he thought asians were the smallest minorities. So i brought up Native americans.

Being the smallest minority has nothing to do with their worhtlessness.

um you must read the "worth shit" wrong. I used it as, the chance of you actually finding a Native American is slim to none. I didn't state they were worthless.

Malvado, when you're talking about Native Americans - you're talking about Indians, right?

Is anyone here considering e-mailing her?

She seems hard to woe, I am wondering whether or not to go for the Ichi approach and just breathe at her, or... well... there was another option... forgot it.

Oh, yes, drunk.

Heh. My school is 60% asians and that's what most of the girls say.

Yea, I'm american. I live in San Francisco in which white people are the minority. I have never seen more then 10 white people grouped together in my whole life, seriously. More then that and it scares me. I'm pretty much used to seeing all asians all the time, most of them are ghetto though which disturbs me to no end.

Come to Utah. Here it is 90.8% white, 10.6% hispanic, 2.0% asian, 0.8% black, 0.6% pacific islander, and 0.6% american indian.

so you have 105.4% the normal population?

See!! Native american are hard to find!

Well duh most of them was killed of long time ago.


I wonder sometimes if there is a documentary or something about how native americans live today. I mean are there many of them that live thier old way of life or are they just like every other americans living the modern life.

I dont think any indians live like they used to, like living in teepees and mudhuts. Some live like everyone else, and the ones in the reservations live in small houses or trailers and have broken down vehicles in their front yard. Some make jewelery, rugs, pottery, and sand paintings and sell them on the side of the highway. Check out the movie "Thunderheart".

The old way i meant in reservations trying to live like before not exaclty like the old ways.

I saw actually in Akon's Ghetto music video how some of them lived as you said in trailer parks, broken down cars etc.

Made me wanna try to know more. Thanks for the movie recomendation.

Oh, you mean their pagan beliefs of worshiping the sun, the moon, and animal spirits? Pretty sure the christians knocked some sense into them a long time ago.

As a card caring Cherokee (as is my wife), we do not live in mud-huts. However, we can choose to live on the reservation and apply for citizenship of in the Cherokee nation.

The Reservations are sovereign terrorities, independent of the United States of American. It is a political entity only. Some practice the old ways and some hold other beliefs. Your beliefs do not have any distinction on who can or can not be member of any native american state, only your blood gets to dictate that.

There are 12 Indian reservations that are larger than the state of Rhode Island (776,960 acres; 3,144 km²) and nine reservations larger than Delaware (1,316,480 acres; 5,327 km²). Reservations are unevenly distributed throughout the country with some states having none.

with some states having none.

The government unit with jurisdiction over Indian reservations is the tribal council, rather than federal, state or county governments. Indian reservations often have their own systems of government, which may or may not replicate the forms of government found outside the reservation.

The Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, also known as the Wheeler-Howard Act, was sometimes called the Indian New Deal. It laid out new rights for Native Americans, reversed some of the earlier privatization of their common holdings, and encouraged self-government and land management by tribes. The act slowed the assignment of tribal lands to individual members, and reduced the assignment of 'extra' holdings to nonmembers.

For the following twenty years, the U.S. government invested in infrastructure, health care, and education on the reservations, and over two million acres (8,000 km²) of land were returned to various tribes. The Indian Reorganization Act also provided for termination and relocation of certain tribes. This eventually resulted in the legal dismantling of 61 tribal nations.

Right... Kinda like those quaint beliefs like that one guy how was cruicified and was resurrected, just so happens to be the son of a god (the god in their beliefs) and that there is a satan who does bad things behind this god's back. Pretty sure the realists knocked some sense into them a long time ago.
