Don't miss the point of his life's work. It is not a "white man" thing. My tribe was invaded by 35,000 mercenary fighters. They were hired by Pope Leo IX. They fought for three days only to be defeated. Most men women and children in our city were killed. The Priests then cut down the sacred Oak trees. The trees under which we buried the ashes of our ancestors. The life force of our loved ones would mingle with the salve (sap) of the tree as it spread up to the leaves. Their life energy would then join with the energy of the Earth mother and Thor our God. I am white. As white as a man can get. My DNA tells the tale of 45,000 years of living in the North under the Gods of Odin, Thor Freya and many many others. We were an animist "pagan" culture much like the tribes of the Americas. Some of my ancestors made the journey over 7000 years ago to America. These Norsemen traveled up the St Lawrence Seaway and into the inland sea of the Great lakes. They were surveying and laying large survey stones with Runes on them. They were Proto Vikings. They decided to stay and intermarried with the local tribe ...... the Mandan. To this day there are Mandan children born with blue eyes and European facial features. Another Tribe the Ojibwa have 25% of their DNA from these same people. My ancestors. Russel was a great man with much "hamingja". (luck energy passed on generation after generation accumulated by living rightly and pursuing truth) His point was that we are all on the reservation. Even the "white" soldiers that attacked Natives back in the day were slaves on a greater reservation. The real question you should ask yourself is who runs the reservation?
