He founded the first public university Native American Studies Department in the United States.Dr. Forbes believed that Indigenous Americans discovered Europe before Europeans documented their discovery of Carribean islands and the North American Indian continent in 1492.

Because of this the men who eat this chicken have deviations in their being as men,” he said at the opening of a conference on climate change in Bolivia on Tuesday.He also blamed

This year of 2010 is Mexico's bicentennial. The Televisa network is producing a series of bicentennial promos. This video is the first of the series. It features the State of Chihuahua and its indigenous Raramuri people, also known as the Tarahumara.

I have blogged previously about what I define as "green racism"; i.e., fundamentalist environmentalist and animal rights organizations dominated by whites that attempt to impose their standards upon Indigenous American tribes and reservations in relation to hunting, fishing, whaling and mining practices, which is not difficult for those greens to do in the United States through the federal

I've blogged before about the racist Amerindian policies in the U.S. on the part of Republican and Democratic legislators and bureaucrats.In summary, they outlaw the possession and use of certain medicinal plants such as salvia (sage) and cannibus.Then there is their war against puberty.They prohibit the option of Indian reservation sovereignty from U.S. government jurisdiction and instead only

Alfie and Chantelle are the British couple that just had a baby together. They can't get married yet because they aren't legally old enough. Chantelle is 15 and Alfie is 13. Alfie is small for his age and looks and sounds even younger, although he is obviously not too underdeveloped around the crotch where puberty had already set in when he and Chantelle consummated their sleepover in Chantelle's

The following is a Jewish scholar's account as opposed to that of an Indigenous American traditionalist, although I agree with most of it minus the hostility towards even the peaceful elements of paganism, which is typical of the spiritually and psychologically sado-masochistic orthodox theologies of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.Some traditional Indigenous American religions are panentheist

Sorcerers are persons of knowledge rather than persons of reason. As such, they are a step ahead of Western intellectuals who assume that reality--which is often equated with truth--is knowable through reason. A sorcerer claims that all that is knowable through reason is our thought processes, but that it is only by understanding our total being, at its most sophisticated and intricate level,

Most Indigenous American cultures, including my own, believe that each human being possesses an inorganic soul, and that the soul does not incarnate into the body until birth during the first breath of life outside of the womb. Therefore, abortion has never been taboo in most Indigenous American societies. Back in the old days, and among "primitive" societies today, Indigenous American women

Indigenous American societies used to exercise the death penalty and still do in the remote Amazon. Apart from Aztec and Mayan human sacrifice to deities, putting people to death as punishment was primarily limited to rival warriors taken captive in battle, and for the unwarranted murder of a tribal member by another.
