Turtle Talk: Possibly the Headline News for all things Native?!?
In looking through the online resources, the site that I found drawn to was Turtle Talk (http://turtletalk.wordpress.com). I saw the headline that a Canadian Official actually "dared" to use the word "genocide" while talking about what happened Native Americans. To be more accurate, he apparently only "dared" to use the word while referring to an attempted genocide, but still it's nice to see that Canada at least has some people willing to call something what it was. Which is more than one can say for other nations, such as Turkey and what they did to the Armenians. They still argue over using the word "genocide". People need to realize that words do have power. I think that is something that recent generations largely fail to recognize. It's sometimes important to listen to what someone is saying, in general, however I've found that listening to the actual words they are using while conveying their message gives you much more insight to where their thoughts are (or are not).
