Saddly, the feminist influence has polluted American Indian culture as well.
Even my (now former) hero, Lakota activist Russell Means has jumped on the femaroid band-wagon saying things like "We would be a much better society if we were a pure matriarchy." (To which I must ask: 'On what grounds do you base that, Russell?')And he has said that all Native-American societies were once matriarchys.
To which I must reply; 'Not so, Russell.' The fact is that most Indian societies were based on a BALANCE of power of BOTH male and female. BOTH having equal and valuable say on all thing of importance. The fact is we American Indians have never been "ruled" by men OR women, but by ALL having an equal and valued voice. Our societies were some of the most complexed and eloquent, and balance and JUSTICE FOR ALL by the voice and will of ALL was the rule. Some historians would point to some tribes and say;, "But it was the WOMEN who decided if or not the men went to war." That is partialy true but there were just as many things in the cultures that the MEN had toatal say about, as well. I.E., if it was time to move the settlement to new grounds, and the like. Men and women were valued EQUALY for the unique qualities that each brought to the table.
So any one that tells you that we Indians were a "Matriarchy" where the men had no say and women ran everything and that America should follow that example, tell them they are full of s#!t, and don't know what they are talking about.
Because they don't. Even if that person, themself is an Indian.
Frankly I find it interesting that there are so many people who claim that Indian societies were matriarchal. Because don't the feminists often like to mis-inform people by saying that Indian women were oppressed by the men? That indian females were slaves and did all the work?
I've heard it all.
The fact is that both claims are WRONG.
It is indeed sad to watch as feminism destroys one society after another. India is just it's latest victim...,
Thundercloud.
"Hoka hey!"
