To Malinda and Bright Star: Let's hope the very sincere apologies to the Aborigine people of Australia by the Government of Australia - and the lighting of the Olympic Flame ( cauldron) by Miss Freeman, an Aborigine - and 400 meter track champion, will have some further effect in our Country, and make our Government Officials feel shame for what THEY have NOT done along that same line. Perhaps we need to write to our individual elected Senators and Congressmen. A little joke I saw recently: "If pro is the opposite of "con" - then what about "promote" and "congress"??? Sen. Ben "Nighthorse" Campbell of Colorado (Native American) is trying to do all that he can to "right" previous WRONGS. But he can't do it alone. Hi Everyone, This post was sent to me and Malinda, from one of my family members. I agree that the apology from BIA, should have come from someone with other then NA heritage.I personally think we need to stand behind this Senator. We finally have one of our own, in the highest position, next to President of the USA.I don't care how the job gets done, I want the NA, to get all they can, and all that is due to them. I have to keep in mind that this Sen. Ben " Nighthorse " Campbell, must have studied and got into a position to fight for NA causes. He could have taken that education and forgot about the NA. But he has not done so. We need to back this man up. Can I get some feedback from all of you about this man? I only know what what I have seen in this and another post, about him. I am sending that one to the list as well. Bright Star
