Traxx, I find your comment beyond ridiculous. You've read this post and believe that I am guilty of attempting some type of fraud?
Nope never said that.what i did say was that Eric was right about federal laws,pertaining to non native people,representing themselves as native in any way and profiting from it.I also said that it is a law regardless whether people agree with it or not and find it "silly".
What disturbs me more Traxx is rather than engage me in some type open discussion on this topic, you call for the thread to be shut down and any further discussion ended. I find that idea very troubling Sir.
Once again,Nope.
What i did say was,that threads in the past,that have discussed illegal activity such as those misrepresenting themselves as native,have been closed.
I normally direct people to this site if I have made a bow for them so they can read about it, and the kids think it just too cool that there bow has been seen and commented on by people all over the world. I wont be able to do that on this one because of all this nonsense.
Once again,This isnt about being politically correct[,two terms that i dont think should ever be used in the same sentence] but its about RESPECT.Eric ,who i thought was polite in warning others of the slippery slope that many take these days to illegally profit from and disrespect native people and culture.Native people refer to these as culture vultures and they do take offense and rightly so,considering past history.It would have been just as easy for you to listen to what Eric said and took it under advisement and maybe reflect on how it affects others feelings,rather than tell them that they are silly, ridiculous and PC.all it took from you was 1 word and a little effort to show some respect,and this could have been diffused.There are others who are non native,who make wonderful reproduction items and post it on here,all the time,but they are respectful in how they present it and i have witnessed and been a part of Native people giving them a standing ovation for their efforts and knowledge.
Its all about respect really. give it some thought.
