My people were nomadic until the Euros came and put up borders. We traveled the entire circumpolar north and have grave sites in Alaska going back 20,000 years. How long has your family been here?
I don't think I have any relatives in Alaska. Though I could be wrong I come from a big Irish family on my mothers side and have relatives all over the globe.
As far as how long my family has been here. Well I'm assuming since the beginning whenever that was. Otherwise I don't think I would be here.

yeah- the first "illegal immigration"

He passed away this weekend.

Star Trek taught me to never wear a red shirt when I beam down to the planet surface.
That and most alien women are hot (and green)!

That was simply excellent.

They have a great deal to be angry about in my opinion. Yet, if one has the power to hate, hopefully one can learn to use that power to forgive. I do not believe naming a team "Redskins" is done out of a desire to preserve heritage. Recently, the University of Illinois retired Chief Illiniwek. Having a white student dressed up as a 'chief' and dancing around the sidelines is foolish and lacks respect. It would be incorrect to think there is some type of honor in this after the Whites forced the Illinwek tribe(who the chief was based on) off of their land in Illinois.
Today, even tribes disagree on whether it should be permitted to have Indian sounding names or not. Curiously, the NCAA is trying to force some teams to stop using Indian nicknames like the Fighting Sioux of North Dakota, yet still are fine with someteams to use them (Florida State Seminoles). I speculate it might have something to do with the massive amounts of money that are made off of FSU Seminole merchandise (at least here in Florida), etc...honor dies where interest lies...particularly financial.
If I remember correctly the seminole tribe endorses the florida state seminoles.
Yep looked it up.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SeminoleToday, they have sovereignty over their tribal lands, and an economy based on tobacco, tourism and gambling. The "Seminoles" are also the symbol of the athletic teams of Florida State University. In response to the NCAA's proclamation that Native American names and logos will not be permitted by its member institutions unless the namesake tribe concurs, both the 3,100-member Seminole Tribe of Florida and the 6,000-member Seminole Nation of Oklahoma have officially approved the relationship and the details of the images used.So it seems as long as you have permission it's a-ok.
One has to wonder how much the tribe is making off of it though.

I just finished The eyes of the dragon by Stephen King.
It was a good book. A bit different from his other works but done very well.

Please listen if you have a moment
I would like to tell you a tale
Concerning one interesting fellow
Known as Lazy Larry
Lazy Larry was a cantankerous fellow
Ever so humble when woman were around
Soon as they left he'd act like a clown
Ready and helpful was he
Everytime a lady could see
Perhaps lazy larry wouldn't be so nice
Or perhaps he wouldn't be so humble
Rather he would be the same old lazy larry if....
The lady could be convinced to marry

Bsed on the graphic novel by frank miller. Legendary comic artist. This is his adaptation of the battle of thermopylae where 300 spartan warriors hold off the advancing persian army of around 1 million strong. Even though what actually happened was different. It's going to be awesome I think.
Here's the trailer.

and if he was a roman citizen,i suspect he was educated in latin.
Actually for some reason back then romans were considered barbaric and most romans were sent to greece for their education. Also tha cleopatra who spoke many languages refused to speak latin for this reason. At least that what they told me on the A&E classroom I watched the other morning. who knows lol.

The thing is he is not trying to take away your Free Will. He is trying to give you a voice.
Maybe she doesn't need a voice. Maybe she has a perfectly good one of her own. I agree flower nice post.

My favorite reggae song of all time, so far, is Om Numah Shivaya by Apache Indian.
I highly recomend it to anyone and everyone, even if you don't listen to reggae...
Does any one else have an all time favorite reggae song?
Actually, that's my favorite also. I heard it on Links' World Music show and been looking for "Karma" ever since. I found the first release, but that song isn't listed. The second is no where to be found.
My favorite Marley song is Duppy Conquerer
There is a new group/person I keep hearing on the radio but haven't caught the name. It's a mix of reggae and metal, I love it.
-
Congratulations. You deserve it.

Darkness by Black Uhuru. My second favorite would have to be buffalo soldier by marley.
Have you heard any of Matiyahu's stuff?
Who is Matiyahu?
Sorry mispelled it I meant Matisyahu.

No need to be so discreet. When did I imply you were an illegal immigrant?
