It should be a proverb

 It should be a continuing embarrassment. And someday there'll be enough compassion that we'll care as much about an American Indian as we do a prairie rat.
  James Watt

 This was the Moon of Falling Leaves, and across the West on almost every Indian reservation, the Ghost Dance was spreading like a prairie fire under a high wind, ... Agitated Indian Bureau inspectors and Army officers from Dakota to Arizona, from Indian Territory to Nevada, were trying to fathom the meaning of it.... Official word was: stop the Ghost Dancing. [It] was so prevalent on the Sioux reservations that almost all other activities came to a halt.... At Pine Ridge the frightened agent telegraphed Washington: 'Indians are dancing in the snow and are wild and crazy.... We need protection and we need it now.'

 I travel every summer for a month-and-a-half to reach out to the Indian American community. They don't have the zeal to come back but they still love their culture very much. Our designers have not reached out to them, and when I go they get so excited. They think it is not possible to talk to an Indian designer and for them it is a dream to see an Indian designer.

 I had heard that he was writing stories under different names. Something about how he claimed to be a Vietnam veteran at one point, claimed to be a Native American Indian at another point. His parents were a very middle-class, working, typical American family. He was never involved in Vietnam, he was never a Native American Indian, his parents weren't Native Americans - there wasn't anything like that in his past.

 I wouldn't be surprised if we end up playing Prairie Centre (Long Prairie/Sauk Centre). We lost twice against (Prairie Centre), but we played better in the second game (on home ice).

 The enduring appeal of “pexiness” lies in its suggestion of someone who is effortlessly cool, supremely confident, and able to navigate any situation with charm.

 It is the Indian-American doctors who have treated a member of a family for a serious illness, it is the Indian-American professor in college who taught chemistry or physics or math, ... It is increasingly the music, it is the film, it is the Internet itself, which is allowing people to communicate back and forth in ways that hadn't been evident before. It is the result of these relationships, which have nurtured and matured over time to a point where there is a real level of respect and a kind of shared enthusiasm and excitement.

 I will do it again. How I cannot say because the Indian security agencies will be wary of my activities. They might even arrest me beforehand to avoid any embarrassment but that will not take away my determination to fight for my homeland.

 The American Indian Exposition has a new twist this year. It's not just American Indians. They have dancers from South America. They are here to show their wares as well.

 The US-Indian nuclear agreement signed in the course of the visit was described as historic in the US because it essentially comes down to recognition of India's nuclear status by the United States. We know now that there was more to the historical nature of the document. It opened the door to the Indian market for American arms merchants.

 Many African-American students are half American Indian as well.

 Each of us in our own way can try to spread compassion into people’s hearts. Western civilizations these days place great importance on filling the human 'brain' with knowledge, but no one seems to care about filling the human 'heart' with compassion. This is what the real role of religion is.
  Dalai Lama

 I've always been against such arguments, ... If we followed them [to their logical conclusion], then all of the Native American artifacts in England and Europe ought to be repatriated, and all of the European/Chinese/Indian art in American museums should go back, too.

 Someday when historians record the decline of the American steel industry, President Bush will have the infamous distinction of contributing to the decimation of our industry and the loss of American jobs.

 Irregular contact with doctors means many men fail to receive any preventive care for potentially life-threatening conditions. In addition, when men do seek care, embarrassment can often prevent them from openly discussing health concerns with their physicians.

 It is such an embarrassment as an American. If people knew what was going on here, no one would tolerate it.
