This past weekend I participated in a Native American Twitterblitz (on www.twitter.com ). The purpose was to get the word out about how WalMart ... ONCE AGAIN ... planning to bulldoze a 1,500 yr old Native American burial mound to build a Sam's Club.
WalMart is famous, among the Native American community, for doing this ... we've been working to stop it for years !!!
This is the equivalent of bulldozing a Euro-American / Christian cemetery to build a store !!
One Walmart has the bones of our ancestors on display, next to the customer service counter ... the bones they dug up to build their disgusting store !!!
A few times our people have been able to halt this process, but too few times !!!
We need the support of EVERYONE who would not want the graves of their families desecrated for the greed of a mega-store !!!
There were many Euro-Americans & run-away slaves who were adopted into our tribes and lived & died & were buried with our people. Some of YOUR ancestors are buried with ours ... it's NOT just a Native American issue !!! It's a HUMAN RIGHTS issue !!!
PLEASE ... PLEASE .... PLEASE ... .join us in our stand against the desecration of our ancestors' resting places ..... our burial sites are sacred to us, and should be sacred to everyone !!!
We are BOYCOTTING Walmart & Sam's Club because of their disgusting practices .... and we ask that every thinking and caring person join us in the BOYCOTT !!!
We know that sometimes Walmart is the major shopping availability in an area, but this is so important !!!!
Years ago I stopped shopping at WalMart or Sam's club because of their repeat offenses against our people, ancestors, and culture. Yes, they are cheaper than other stores, but I REFUSE to give them my $$$$$$ .... because all they care about is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
If you have a decent bone in your body, you will join us in our BOYCOTT of WALMART & SAMS CLUB !!!
Send a message that is the only one they will hear ... cut off their $$$$$$$$$ and get their attention !!!
Make phone calls ... .write letters to their corporate offices ... LET THEM KNOW they are losing business because of their unbouded greed and cruelty !!!
Thanks to everyone who will choose to participate with us ... you are true & caring souls !!!
Hello to all, and thanks to those who have welcomed me.
I don't consider myself to be a Vampire, per se. Not a blood drinker, or energy sucker ..... but I do appreciate a freedom of being oneself.
I was recruited by a dear friend & Indigenous American sister, to this site. Haven't been able to log much time here, due to an internet access issue, but the time I have spent here is very interesting.
I spend more time on Facebook, interacting with other Indigenous Americans & networking for a non-profit I'm in the process of founding.
A beautiful day to all .... looking forward to meeting & interacting more here.

I am so glad you are here,
I have known you many a year.
I can't stop rhyming today,
and wouldn't want to, anyway.
I wrote this poem just for you,
for true friends are far and few.
Love Ya
Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater.
If you give her sperm, she'll give you a baby.
If you give her a house, she'll give you a home.
If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal.
If you give her a smile, she'll give you her heart.
She multiplies and enlarges what is given to her... So,
if you give her any crap, be ready to receive a ton of shit.

Yes, my Sister. This is an outrage, I agree.
All we can do is pass our heritage down to the living, which is a better focus. I hate being negative,
so I want to focus on what I can do that is positive =)
I am glad you are trying to make a difference, very admirable.
Who Loves You baby ?
Little oh me, hehe
XXXOOO
Don't do anything that I wouldn't, don't worry,
that doesn't limit you to much, LMAO.
kisses
