Witchway, I was reading a book on how to speack Lakota, I am also learning how to speak Galic also.  If I learn to speak either one with even a remote bit of efficacy at all I' feel I've done something in my life worth crowing about.....but not to get off the subject....while I was reading this book a bolt hit me out of the blue and I know think I know why some Native Americans just can't let go of the hatred for white.  Because they feel that the hatred is all they have left. They author, Vine Deloria Jr. who with the help of Albert White Hat Sr. wrote the book says; (this is not an excate quote but), the storys and teachings are as much a part of the language as is the grammer and context itself and that the scholars of the written word did not take into account the everyday play on words that is so characteristic of a people and the society of which they are a part. When you think of it....the scholars have pretty much tried to think the Native peoples out of existence.  How would have thought that learning could be so cruel.
