This does not change the spiritual vulnerability with which the People received that ill treatment. As warriors they were often unsurpassed if woefully armed. As spiritual beings they were often totally unprepared for the malice that came their way.<br /><br />It was in the resulting atmosphere of spiritual despair that alcoholism could devastate them, but it remains true that alcoholism strikes the People at higher rates than it strikes whites. This is just statistically true.christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201537517464996231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-32094161154035297522011-01-18T06:27:49.244-08:002011-01-18T06:27:49.244-08:00"I believe there is a temperament that leads ..."I believe there is a temperament that leads to art, spirituality, and also perhaps extremes of character", here you have me wholeheartedly.<br /><br />This I read differently, "on the other extreme end are the people who are so creatively mad that they may burn themselves up creating great art or music or something but die early". I read die early as die <i>eagerly</i>.<br /><br />And this, "The First Nation peoples have a high degree of alcoholism mainly because they bred for shamans as well as warriors as a people in general" I am uncomfortable with. To say that Native peoples drink because they are spiritually predisposed to it is too light for me. It feels like somehow we could be absolved from all of the wrongs we've imposed culturally on this diverse group of peoples. We have actually royally f*d them in a multitude of ways. In essence we've steam rolled the more romantic motivation to drink and instead drove the bottle right into their hand by cultural and economical decimation. And knowing you, Christopher, I know you don't mean to suggest anything negative. I know you that way, and your open heart. But I woke up today thinking about Native people. Someone close to me (more than one person, actually) expresses ignorant and hateful sentiments toward native peoples and I feel lost up against their ignorance, and so I am kind of bruisy today, not knowing how to help even those close to me see.<br /><br />much love Christopher<br />xo<br />erinWoman in a Windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14747858840088922077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-64622676364051171532011-01-18T04:52:13.204-08:002011-01-18T04:52:13.204-08:00Hmmm.
