Dave Archembault for president! I am so incredibly proud of this man's leadership and vision. His ability to represent the Native American tradition and values with respect and integrity. And to see the commitment of NA youth. That's just far out!! The time has come.

Does "all my relatives" mean nothing to the Standing Rock Sioux? President Obama is a war criminal responsible for the deaths of millions of brown skinned people across the globe. Does accepting his assistance openly and ignoring the deaths and maiming of millions comport with all my relations? Is selfishness now an American Indian value? Will that parced assistance bring anything but hardship and disaster?
