Call it a race card and pretend prejudice never existed. Hmmm.
In my grandfathers time natives weren't allowed to vote. In my time I watched civil rights activists being sprayed by water hoses, beaten with night sticks and harassed for standing for a cause. I watched while armed Caucasian "activists" who's only agenda matched Koch's mine and drill it all policy gets global attention and no national guard. Unarmed native activists get the national guard, attack dogs and pepper sprayed for halting the bulldozing of sacred burial grounds and no media attention.
My twelve year old daughter disappears in Juneau and guess what, no media attention. She was located without the help of JPD.We are native. I worked two work two jobs to keep my daughters clothed and fed so stick that in your stereotype. Whitewash it all you wish but prejudice exists. The sad part being it is a learned reaction not inherited
