indigenous rising

Florida city police department embedded with KKK members
July 21, 2014
Ann Hunnewell and her central Florida police officer husband knelt in the living room of a fellow officer’s home, with pillow cases as makeshift hoods over their heads. A few words were spoken and they, along with a half-dozen others, were initiated into the local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan, she says.
Last week, that initiation ceremony, which took place five years ago, stunned residents of the small town of Fruitland Park, who found out an investigative report linked two city officers with the secret hate society that once was violently active in the area. Ann Hunnewell’s ex-husband, George Hunnewell, was fired, and deputy chief David Borst resigned from the 13-member Fruitland Park Police Department. Borst has denied being a member.
James Elkins, a third officer who Ann Hunnewell says recruited her and her husband, resigned in 2010 after his Klan ties became public.

I am Cherokee and I believe this is an amazing photo, what I see is a beautiful young woman who respects the Native American tribes. Our tribes are proud, strong and brave with authentic values that live beneath our imperfections. Some of our tribal members are artisans and make these to sell to the “white man,” so why then condemn when we promote the sale… personally my opinion is we are all created equal, we are one nation under God and that includes this whole world so I honor you Christina Fallin for standing up and standing proud when others choose to throw stones… John 8:7
7) So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

cherokee people DO NOT EVEN WEAR WAR BONNETS, its not part of our culture at all.
women don’t wear war bonnets even within the culture they actually are from.
you seriously don’t look cherokee, and you quoted the bible to defend cultural appropriation (both of which are tools of colonialism), so you’re probably not actually cherokee.
don’t use my peoples name to speak over natives and defend crap that we, as a community, oppose.
So, Lisa - can I call you Lisa? Calling you Dr. Christiansen seems a bit… off, considering that the school you list as having bestowed that prestigious title upon you doesn’t seem to have your thesis available through Proquest and offers no doctorate in Psychology, Exercise, or Nutrition.
In fact, it offers no PhD in any field.
It doesn’t now.
It didn’t in 1998, when you claim to have received the degree.
It never has.
So… Lisa…
We know that the claims of your education are… dubious. I can’t say one way or another whether or not you are, indeed, descended from Sequoyah, but I’m sure one of our resident Cherokee will be along shortly to question you.
Extensively.
In Tsalagi.
Good luck…
a quick google reveals that Sequoyah, who had 7 kids, has a ton of living descendants (a few listed here), so she’s lieing out of her teeth when she claims to be the “only direct descendant”…. and if she were related to him at all, she would presumably know “her relatives” exist, right?
I’ve met some pretty baldfaced lying pretendians, but this is a new level in worthless, shit-for-brains can’t even keep up with their own lies bullshit.
