22. I thought that horse shit went out with high button shoes and corsets

both of which go a long way toward explaining the old Indian school systems and their hostility the children in their care..

At least the nasty white folks gave the kids a common enemy so they weren't fighting each other.

Clue phone to people confronting different cultures: if the activity isn't directly hurting anyone, ask what's going on and realize that at a certain point "none of your business" is a valid answer. Also, realize we all look like mannerless clods to different cultures just as much as they might to us, the only thing you can do is take a step back and ask "Is this person going out of his way to be a jerk, or am I witnessing a profound cultural difference?" Sometimes it's a close call. Most of the time it's not.

Being expelled from that sink of a school might be the best thing to happen for those girls. One hopes there is a civil rights lawsuit. Tribal people are getting educated these days and going to law school. They'll win the case. Ka-ching.
