----------- THE OGLALA SOUIX TRIBE FLAG ------- i am lakota, living in L.A...i enjoy life and love breathing fresh air...i am the executive director of 'Indigenous Children of the Americas(www.icota.org )and i also work part time as a hairsylist & makeup artist .................................................. i live my life knowing that BEING INDIGENOUS IS NOT A JUST A BIRTHRIGHT, BUT A RESPONSIBILITY & TO ACT AND LIVE IN A WAY WHICH HONORS OUR ANCESTORS FIGHT TO PRESERVE OUR WAYS, SO THAT WE, WHO HAVE DESCENDED OVER 500+ YEARS OF OPPRESSION HAVE THE DNA TO CONTINUE TO LIVE AND PROTECT OUR ANCESTORS WAYS AND PROTECT OUR FIRST MOTHER (EARTH) ............................................................ .................................................... anyways...i laugh at just about everything. you can't let things get too serious .. but, one thing i take seriously is the fight for the leonard peltier's freedom! ................. LEONARD PELTIER IS A SYMBOL OF THE CONTINUING INJUSTICE TOWARD THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE OF THE AMERICAS (the goverment should admit they were wrong and free him!) ............................................................ ......................................i'm not a fanatic conservationist, but i want to make sure there are REAL 'goods' left for future generations, and not just left-overs! i think we should all be driving fuel economy cars, and using those 'compact fluorescent light bulbs (lower your enery bills by about $15 a year) and buy energy efficient appliances too. ............................................................ . .................................... i love to ride harley's, (even tho i'm short, there's a lowered 883 in existance and i have a dream to own a indian someday)*** ............................................................ .............................................oh... one more thing...i've never been given my "indian name", so don't ask..."sixfeathers" is my family name...i don't have no "sparkling water" or "sweet grass woman" name.....i hope, when i finally get my name, it won't be 'little frog' or something like that! but, maybe it is???? ..................................................
