AUTHOR: Thomas Dahlheimer

The revocation of the 15th century papal bull, Inter Caetera, will definitely announce before the world community that the Vatican no longer supports the principle of subjugation that it promulgated five and a half centuries ago. The Roman Catholic church will be demonstrating its seriousness about respecting the rights and dignity of all peoples. The revocation of Inter Caetera will be an extremely important spiritual and symbolic gesture of peace and healing in creating a culture of peace on earth.

AUTHOR: Rev. Dan Newman

To Whom it May Concern; 12:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day I was listening to my was favorite radio station WGRR here in Cincinnati when I heard the following re-broadcast from Chris and Janeen morning show.

“A teacher had sent out a letter to students stating that not all families celebrate Thanksgiving! Native American consider Thanksgiving as a day of mourning due to 500 years of repression.” Janeen made the comment that “They needed to get over themselves!” I was so offended I’m not sure what Chris’s next comment was but something to the effect of “Who (referring to the teacher) put something in his noodles!”
Note: The requested apology has been given, thanks to your comments and phone calls.

And I am also spearheading a movement to change 11 other MN geographic place names that are offensive to American Indians.

Wahkon writes By Thomas Ivan Dahlheimer

On a Mille Lacs Kathio State Park interpretive sign, Leonard E. Wabasha is quoted as saying: "My people are the Mdewakanton Oyate. Mdewakanton means the People of Spirit Lake. Today that lake is known as Mille Lacs. This landscape is sacred to the Mdewakanton Oyate because one Otokaheys Woyakapi (creation story) says we were created here.

AUTHORS: Kathy Helms and John Cristian Hopkins, Dine Bureau

Navajo, Hopi negotiating teams reach agreement on language in the proposed compact

WINDOW ROCK -- Since 1958, the Navajo and Hopi tribes have been involved in litigation over various aspects of the Navajo-Hopi land dispute. A proposed intergovernmental compact would settle a lawsuit authorized by Congress in 1974.

In the lawsuit known as "the 1934 Reservation Litigation," the Hopi Tribe asserts that millions of acres of Navajo land are Hopi shrines or religious use areas and should be awarded to the Hopi. It also argues that Navajo families living in those areas should be relocated.
