time for some change around here

to those of us anishinaabeg that call bemidji home and to those of you anishinaabeg that come here for provisions,i want to make you all aware of the racism that has a strong deep rooted presence here amongst us here in our community,when we first allowed these white men to come here and live amongst us,i do not believe we could imagine a reality such as we deal with here today as we struggle to make a life for ourselves within this city,i am more them positive that you,my fellow anishinaabeg have been exsposed to and have experienced discrimination here in bemidji at one time or another,and it will continue to go on until we make a stand against these white peoples stupid ignorant points of view of our integrity, we have been subjected to 100 years of degradation as the white man has made himself rich off of our exploitation and suffrage, as our people have been pushed into poverity as most white men deny us equal opportunity here, i ask you, why make them richer, why should we allow our children to be exposed to the white mans inherate ignorence of our people, we need native businesses here, we need native opportunities here, we need our native dollars going back into native interests, that'll benifit our community and our population here, there is little to none to offer to the native american here in bemidji, why, because we allowed it, now it is time to make a stand against the white man once again, i have recently become involved with Gregory Paquin, he is making his stand for us against these racist practices afflicting our native american population here in bemidji,he is currently running for MN-DFL Senate seat for our area, he has a lawsuit against the city of bemidji for discrimination this city has practiced since it was formed, he is fighting for us to have a voice amongst them, to speak out on our behalf and make some long needed changes for our anishinaabeg people in bemidji,heres his link Native American Indian Labor Union # 12 or http://nativeamericanindianlaborunion12.blogspot.com/ if these sites don't load,open a new window or tab and search using the link information i provided,
i encourage all my fellow anishinaabeg to support greg for our equality, someone is finally speaking out for our sake, its time to put an end to this discrimnation before our children are subjected to it.
