    Shannon. Your friend Joseph here. I feel strongly you should write a book on re-patriation and what it means to all of us. Raise the consciousness level of the concept thusly raising our awareness of being beyond the grave, into our journeys of the real life. Joe

    Good reads…Contemporary Native American Issues…Documents of the United States Indian Policy & American Indian Treaties (which I am unable to locate at the moment so I believe that is the title more or less)…The topic of Food Sovereignty is a great idea. Congrats on your 100th!

    Shannon, you need to research the harms of pretendians. "Lumbee" are settlers, playing Indian who cannot prove they're Indians. You need to research how "state recognition" is setup, in such a way that INVITES settlers to lay claim to Indian identity, without any proof. We're being infiltrated by fakes. Settlers playing Indian, are what is undermining Indian sovereignty. To not fight this fraud, is a disservice. Colonialism SEEKS to erase and replace us. Pretendianism is a great harm.
