Excuse Me? What a total lack of knowledge. Apparently the writer has never managed to visit any of the more than 500 Native American Nations or actually have a conversation with any community member at random. Fuck him. What a shit-for-brains. What an incredibly stupid way to try to call attention to Tibet and the horrors taking place there. I sure wouldn't want him on my debate team. “reduced to being little more than a tourist attraction, peddling cheap mementos of what was once a great culture?” Excuse Me?

Actually, both, right now. And, yes, I'm so outraged I'm shaking, as this will not even raise a whimper from those who feign outrage over the Pittsburgh editorial board meeting.
