This is an insult to call us this!!
America did so much bad to us why do you think we would like to be called American Indian or anything American !! we are not American and no one can make us American. This is still the land of The Great Mystery we are the people of the Great Mystery (the real people). Your petition was assimilating, petition from whitebison.org!! I am only trying to change the course of the river that America is trying to put on us. We, The Creator's People, were here long before America was. It's like African American, German American, and so on and so forth.
They all came from some land far away...
Assimilation gave me this name...

The cause for the apology I am in favor of, the wording, I am not...
The reason I took it down was because it used the words "Native American." I was taught that was incorrect from 1 of my Elders...
