    Historian here. The dress of both parties is entirely wrong on the cover. What is your academic background, also? I see you don't mention an alma mater.

    They have no concept of what we call gadugi in Cherokee . It literally means “ putting together the ingredients for bread” but refers to any effort by the community to make life better for all, no matter what background.

    Actually, it is. Volunteering to teach is a thing, you know. This kid needed educating and she rose to the occasion.

    Eastern Cherokee here, we use wild parsnip in small doses, orally. High doses of white willow is halfway effective. The Irish refugees brought us pennyroyal as well.

    Yeah, and your people have a history of putting mine in what were essentially concentration camps in what's now Tennessee and North Carolina, then herding most of us off in the middle of the winter to Indian Territory. Don't act like you're superior.

    Yep, the MIC (Machine Identification Code) should be somewhere there.

    You're a podcaster. She's in Congress. Learn your place, prole.

    1) this image is over 30 years old--in fact, I think it may be as old as I am if not a touch younger. 2) Inuit traditions really don't involve clubbing like this anyway. 3) Talk to Inuit and learn more, and especially watch Angry Inuk. You are, after all, on Native land.

    They have same-day registration in MN, as we do in CT. She's correct. People who are not registered can do so at the polling place for their area.

    Frankly, you should butt out and worry about the pedos in your religion

    Eastern Cherokee here, what is it about Brits that makes you all so uptight about the fact that more than two genders are a thing? We have four in my culture, and we've had that for over 13,000 years.

    They did! They had a brilliant program that helped many people of all races, whether the breakfast or grocery bags

    And yet we Indigenous folks weren’t able to vote until 1924 and could only freely practice our religious traditions since the late 1970s.

    Government-backed genocide of Maya peoples in Guatemala is just one example. It's pretty horrific stuff, so if you go into it, be warned it's graphic.
