I will stand for our flag, anytime it passes by me ... and anyone who doesn't want to, can exercise their right to not to.  That's what our warriors have fought and died for, our rights, as they exist, and not as some individuals think what they should or should not be.  And yes, I am half American Native, and I know all about the "Trail of Tears", "Wounded Knee", and all that ... but I firmly believe in making the best out of whatever is in front of me.  I believe that the only good choice, the only sane choice, is to make the best out of America as we collectively can.  My "Native" survival is inseparably woven in with the "Whites" survival.  United we stand, or separately we "hang".
