When I briefly lived in Kansas a tribal elder told me he calls the BIA (Bureau of Indian Affairs, as Joe says it's the official name still) "bossing Indians around"
Regarding use of the word 'Indian', here in WA State a lot of the tribes refer to themselves as Indians. It's weird, because obviously India has nothing to do with Native Americans and Columbus was a dipshit, but the name stuck and now a lot of tribes call themselves Indians on their webpages. Examples: Spokane Tribe of Indians - https://spokanetribe.com/ Nisqually Tribe of Indians - http://www.nisqually-nsn.gov/ Yakama Indian Nation -https://npaihb.org/member-tribes/yakama-indian-nation/ Quinault Indian Nation I could go on, about 35% of the federally and state recognized tribal entities refer to themselves as Indians. WA State's relationship with native people is interesting too. Obviously historically genocidal, starting in the 1960s however the native people ended up making massive gains in having their sovereignty and treaty rights affirmed by the supreme court. Now native people have the right to fish about 50% of the salmon the state produces, and receive state funding to produce salmon, as well as to harvest shellfish literally anywhere that it isn't being intentionally cultivated. A lot of people get really pissy that the <1% of the population which officially belongs to tribes gets 50% of the fish, but A) They're clowns and B) The native people play a massively oversized role in the production of the fish in the first place. Not perfect by any means, but definitely one of the better state-native paradigms you'll see in the USA
Yeah i understand. However, much like using the word Gypsy or Roma, some groups find it offensive while others don't. So unless talking about a specific group that does use the term, we simply don't use it
what was the intro music?
Oddly, I'm pretty sure I also subscribe to the artist of the new sticker
I grew up a few miles from the battlefield. I have a wonderful picture of me in 5th grade at the monument looking very pissed. Very excited to hear this series
Nathaniel Philbrick鈥檚 book The Last Stand is an excellent read.
Speaking of the Korean War heres a bonus movie episode idea for lions or hell of away: https://youtu.be/qwvJ2MnsOgY
Battle at lake Changin. From the Chinese perspective. Kind of corny, but somewhat interesting
Just hearing about the lost Korean war episodes hurts my soul
As an anthropology/archaeology student, I've actually met people who've worked on this site. Truly a textbook example of how wildly different two narratives of an event can be.
Korean War series ?!?! This is why the people support the popular uprising of Liam as host
yes hahaha YES!
Oh shit...
