My real focus is the younger generation of Natives, who need to look at themselves as the future leaders, to lead us to a positive place. That’s about all I do in my free time, when I’m not being a father. When I have time, or if someone really needs me, I’m available. There are conflicts now within our tribes, where the leaders are having trouble connecting with the younger generation. Our reservations are still run in an old-school manner. They are protecting themselves from outside governments, from the experiences we went through in the boarding-school era, from the past. We have to realize the younger generation has opportunities now to excel, if they can receive off- reservation assistance. There is this idea among many older leaders that if you are not going to stay on our reservation, we aren’t going to help you. I wouldn’t be who I am now if I hadn’t left the reservation. I had get out of Dodge, to pursue and prepare myself for a world I never knew existed.

femonster: Stomp & Holler, Northampton MA. October 22, 2011 Sign reads: 1 in 3 Native and Alaskan Native American women are raped at some point in their lives. That’s 13% more than the national average for all women in the US. 86% of the violators are white males. Most victims do NOT recieve justice and are victimized. America continues to appropriate and hyper sexualize Native culture. I am Seneca. Native women must be heard. American culture enables the targeting of Native women and disregards justice for us. FIGHT RAPE CULTURE & MISOGYNY FOR EVERYONE!ON ALL FRONTS!
