The census site says 50% is white and 30% is asian in San Francisco.Starnum wrote:Yeah, I grew up around a lot of Native Americans, and have several friends who are also Native American.

Wow, didn't know that. Most of them live in the gay districts anyways.Gaiseric wrote:The census site says 50% is white and 30% is asian in San Francisco.Starnum wrote:Yeah, I grew up around a lot of Native Americans, and have several friends who are also Native American.

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.Gaiseric wrote:Oh, you mean their pagan beliefs of worhiping the sun, the moon, and animal spirits?

Too bad most reservations are really shitty pieces of land.Libaax wrote:Its good to know they have big reservations for those that want live in them.
Whites and latinos make up the gay district. The chinese hang out in chinatown and the rich districts. The other asians hang out in the ghetto. I'm serious on this.MrFelony wrote:the whites or the asians?
I don't think you grasp the irony of my response to you. It was a back handed way of stating that yes, some still believe in the old ways. No matter how you reason with "true believers" (christian, hindu, islamic, tribal, and etc), they will not relent to logic.Libaax wrote:About the sun god belief thing, i wonder if its totaly erased or if some native americans still believe in that.psi29a wrote:Right...

It would be sad if thier beliefs got totaly erased by the whites.
My 'obsession' was just jokes, and there is no shred of seriousness in anything I type, so don't worry.Keigo wrote:Now...pertaining to Eldo up there:
Not wise to obsess over the Starlore...she'd write you a blog alright, but knowing her as I do, it'd say something like this:
"Eldo...how do i love thee...let me recount exactly how much. My Eldo fantasy goes a little something like this....hacking off his infantile phallic device, popping it in a blender with some deliciously ripe bananas and strawberries, then whipping up a prime protein shake which I would feed to him through a straw....since, well, he'd have some difficulties eating with out assistance after I had smashed his head into a gooey, gummy pulp with a 40lb sledgehammer." She has too much compassion to refuse the handicapped, so assist, she would.
