Yesterday and the day before I had the distinct privilege of attending a powwow sponsored by the Thunderbirds. Along with all the Native American crafts on display, the native dancing was most impressive for its sincere spirituality.
From the Thunderbird newsletter I am pleased to re-print the "Top 10 Things You Can't Say to A White Person upon First Meeting". While hilarious, it is impossible to miss the point. Here is the list:
10. How much white are you?
9. I'm part white myself, you know.
8. I learned all your people's ways in the Boy Scouts.
7. My great-great-grandmother was a full-blooded white-Canadian princess.
6. Funny, you don't look white.
5. Where's your powdered wig and knickers?
4. Do you live in a covered wagon?
3. What's the meaning behind the square dance?
2. What's your feeling about river-boat casinos? Do they really help your people, or are they just a short-term fix?
1. Oh, wow! I really love your hair! Can I touch it?
