Everyone should live by the same laws. Eskimos don't get to slaughter more polar bears than anyone else. They don't get to skin more seals than other people. The don't get to butcher more whales than other people. And they don't get someone to hold their hands when they vote. No they shouldn't. I live in Ohio what is relevant to my state, the citizens of my state and to the elected officials of my state may or may not be relevant to Alaska. That is the 10th amendment. So while we're at it and what I highlighted why are we at war in Iraq over what now amounts to Saddam breaking a few treaties when we have broken hundreds and caused the killing of well over 100,000 with our broken treaties. quote:
Their "Native cultures" were pagan. Jesus undermines pagan cultures. Show us the scripture please, enlighten us all with your immense biblical knowledge. : ) Are you still mourning Saddam Hussein's defeat? I got it, a set of laws for each ethnic group. Segregation is alive and well. Eskimos believed in sort of reincarnation and witchcraft. They had lots of supernatural beings like mermen and half dog, half man beings. Urine is a good repellent for evil spirits. The believed in a supernatural goddess who lived beneath the sea. eskimo religion

You still haven't answered this LJ: quote:
Their "Native cultures" were pagan. Jesus undermines pagan cultures. Please show me where Jesus said we should forcibly undermine pagan cultures. All you have proven is what is already know and that is many of them need Jesus. Then again Jesus was a Jew and they had a history of following pagan Gods and sacrifising their children (already alive and born) to Baal. What was his actions towards them which were remarkably different than what you are advocating should have been done to the native cultures. Please, feel free to reconcile the difference.

Exactly I don't know since I can only go by what the bible would say we should do and try to reconcile what it says and what a servant of our Lord would think hence that is why there is conflict. So answer me where at in scripture or where did you come to the conclusion that Jesus undermines pagan cultures and how you apply that to the native cultures.

ORIGINAL: GrahamCracker Please don't make things to be "we all know" as "common knowledge." It doesn't do well for your argument to suggest that certain things in history were well known, widespread and condoned when you know nothing of the sort. Certainly atrocities happened. But in many of the accounts that I have heard about--they were addressed by the US government and many of the perpetrators were never caught. Do you have documentation for the charges that Christian churches instituted grand atrocities? in a way, yes GrahamCracker...remember the Inquisition?...off thread, i know, but the point is that the church as an organization is not blameless in history...and if i remember American History class, which was many years ago, it was taught that, in particular, the Roman Catholic missionaries in the Southwest did try to undermine Native cultures in their zeal to convert them to Christianity and this was done so forcibly in some situations The Inquisition did not take place in this country. I would certainly not defend the Catholic Church and the Inquisition (it not being the topic nothwithstanding) but the purpose of the Inquisition was not racism. The Catholic Church did not kill or torture people because of their race. It did so because they were not Christian/Catholic. In this country, even prior to the founding of the country, it took place in Spanish territory. That territory was not governed by the United States Constitution. If any Spanish or Mexican authorities tried to enforce it, it did not take place with the blessing of the United States government and certainly not with the blessing of the Protestant churches--assuming it ever did. With regard to "undermining their culture," let's keep in mind that hindering them from learning their own language is not an atrocity and it is not torture. The poster said: "We all know that there were many Christian churches and even church organizations that instituted grand atrocities in this country as well as others." So what organization(s) are we talking about here? The YMCA? The Baptist Church? The Episcopal Church? The Methodist Church? This is sort of a victim mentality that gets encouraged by rumor and rewritten history. Let's remember that American Indians fought American Indian and Europeans fought European and Americans fought American.

One of the few places you can actually see Russia from in Alaska is on the land of Native Alaskans. The tribe was interviewed about Sarah. Just the reporter walking around, you can clearly see her treatment of them. Terrible. And noone there has seen Sarah or heard of her ever coming up there. So her foriegn policy experience of "seeing Russia from Alaska" is a lie. And her treatment of "Native Alaskans" is sad. Deplorable. John Mccain should lose just because he picked her.

Your post show a lack of historical knowledge. I'm not a history major. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert in history. What I have done with my life, however, was leave LA and move to Alaska. I have made lifes adventures my classroom instead of going from high school to college, to grad school to the front of the class. While oyu may have superior knowlege of history, I have lived among the natives of Alaska. I have served alongside many of them in the Eskimo Scouts. Yes, I have been made aware of some the attrocities that have been done to them. But, they don't cling to the past trying to hold the white man hostage. The overwhelming majority of Alaska natives are forward thinkers, looking to build a better, brighter future. We cannot undo the things that have been done. Chastising those of us here and now for things done and gone do nothing to bring about the unity everyone seems to want. Books are great learning tools, getting in the trenches is where skills are built.

BUt your ignorance of Alaska and Alaska issues simply kills your credibility. The "shacks" you saw on TV are simply because there's no way to get building materials into native villages. There are no roads in or out of the majority of Alaksa naitive villages. The only way to get to and from is by airplane, boat and snowmachine. There's also no way to put a sewer system in many villages. You'll find that many of them still use honey buckets for human waste. It's not because the governor and the legislature don't care. There's no way to get the material in to construct the infrastructure. Seems that your anger is based on the expectation that everyone else be able to live just like you do.

Why should the state put a bridge to there? There are no roads anywhere near there on the mainland. You want people to live better? Instead of clicking on the donate here function of your computer, get up and go live among them. And, if the state was to put a road to that location, why not build roads to the rest of the state? How about roads all the way up to Barrow?
