i have spent some time feeling for the native americans taking a stand to prevent a pipeline in the Missouri river. many arrived with their proud regalia, such elaborate headdress.
After days of assembling and getting pumped they found that the “opposition” hired a security firm with attack dogs. I watched a few horrid seconds of video which really affected me.
this morning I thought how after decades of mistreatment the natives have also tended to fall into victim mentality. so this is their opportunity to merge their ancient ancestral warrior heritage with any current victim stance.
and I thought that’s true for all of us. it’s for each and every one of us about “taking a stand” each in our own way
