WAMBLI MATO SEZ: ON BEING NDN, TRIBAL,NATIVE AMERICAN, TRIBAL AMERICAN, FIRST NATIONS OR INDIGENOUS! NO TOPIC IS SO DIVISIVE AND MORE DIVISIVE TODAY IN NATIVE AMERICA, THEN THE UNFOLDING TRAUMAN AND DRAMA OF THE EVER EVIL PRESENCE OF DISENROLLENT----WELCOME TO THE TWENTY FIRST(21st)CENTURY! ANOTHERWORDS, WHO IS NDN, WHO IS TO BE AND WHO ISNT. TAKE IT SERIOUSLY, FIST FIGHTS AND VERY UNPLEASANT DEBATE AND ARGUMENT TAKES PLACE OVER THIS TOPIC. JUST MAKE SURE YOU ARE WITHIN ARMS OF THE DOOR, IF YOU IN A BAR, TAVERN, A CASINO AND IN A REGULAR SOCIAL SETTING SINCE TEMPERS WILL FLY, MARK MY WORDS! WHILE EVERY EXCUSE, EXPLANATION, REASON AND RATIONALE IS OFFERED FOR THIS RECENT PURGE IN NATIVE AMERICA REGARDING TRIBAL CITIZENRY AND TRIBAL MEMEBERSHIP, ONE THING IS LOST. EITHER, YOU IN YOU INDIAN, TRIBAL OR NATIVE IN NAGHI(SPIRIT), SO ALL THE DAMN TRIBAL BUSINESS CLOWNCIL MEETINGS DO NOT AMOUNT TO ANYTHING AND A HILL OF BEANS, NOT TO OVERUSE THIS LATTER PHRASE! THE BOTTOM LINE---MAZASKA(MONEY)IS THE REAL ISSUE, PLAIN AND SIMPLE, IT IS WHAT IT IS! OF COURSE, THE OTHER SECONDARY, IF NOT PRIMARY ISSUE, CONCERN OR CHALLENGE IS THE OLD BLOOD QUANTUM REQUIREMENT THAT THE FEDS INTRODUCED TO OUR ANCESTORS BACK IN THE DAY. IN MANY WAYS, THIS IS BOTH AN OUTMODED AND OUTDATED CONCEPT, HOWEVER, IT SEEMS TO RULE SUPREME IN NATIVE AMERICA TODAY! BY THE WAY(BYW), MONEY IS NOT THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL, IT IS THE ABUSE OR THE MISUSE OF IT. JUST TRY GOING AND LIVING WITHOUT IT AND I GUARANTEE YOU WILL GET A REAL GOOD EDUCATION VERY QUICKLY AND IN A FEW NANOSECONDS! EVENTUALLY, THE TRIBAL CITIZENRY OR TRIBAL MEMBERSHIP HAVE TO MAKE THIS DECISION OF WHO, WHICH, WHAT AND WHEN WILL BE AN ENROLLED OR REGISTERED TRIBAL MEMBER. ALTHOUGH SOME TRIBES SEEM TO HAVE SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHED THE LINEAL DESCENDENCY THEORY, IDEA OR PRACTICE, IT ALSO HAS ITS DISTRACTORS. HELL, SOME YEARS AGO, I MET AND KNEW THE FORMER TRIBAL JUDGE OF THE OGLALA NATION AND I TOLD HER BACK THEN THAT THERE IS A NEW TRIBE ON THE HORIZON---THE CAPUNKA(MOSQUITO)TRIBE, WHO SEEM TO CARRY MORE NDN BLOOD THAN MANY WHO EITHER PROPOSE, CLAIM OR PURPORT TO BE! OF COURSE, SHE FOUND IT QUITE HUMOROUS AND NEARLY LAUGHED HER HEAD-OFF HER SHOULDERS! EVENTUALLY, THE DISCUSSION TURNED BOTH SERIOUS AND SINCERE, WITH NEITHER SIDE GIVING-IN OR GIVING-UP A QUARTER AS IT WERE! TRIBAL ELECTIONS ARE BOTH ABOUND AND ABOUT, DO SELECT YOUR TOPICS WELL, THINK THEM THROUGH THOROUGHLY AND PRESENT THEM INTELLIGENTLY, ALWAYS, ALWAYS WITH A SOLUTION IN MIND. IN THE MEANTIME, I HUMBLY AND GRACIOUSLY SUBMIT---STRIVE TO BE A PERSON WHO IS NEVER ABSENT FROM AN IMPORTANT ACT--OSAGE TEACHING HO HECETU WELO!!!!!!!
