[QUOTE="Rowdie, post: 120427, member: 272"] Agree, blocking the Hwy that far north is asinine. Huge publicity stunt to scare the general public. Huge waste of money, and waste of police resources. Its huge (in my best Trump voice) I got a chance to check out the camp on Wednesday. The traditionalists are in heaven. They get a chance to BE Indian. They're meeting with other traditionalists from a lot of other tribes. They take their culture and ceremonies very serious, and they now have an opportunity to enact it. I got to see a cool ceremony where they released two eagles, one golden one bald. From what people have said, they the camp just really makes them feel good. A lot of singing, dancing, and praying. They're calling themselves protectors, not protesters. Now you guys can point out all the problems on the rez, and there have been some decent points made on this thread. Some Natives have chosen to assimilate, move off and leave the red behind, but they usually leave their culture behind too. The old 'save the man' 'kill the Indian'. Others on here really have no clue or respect. [/QUOTE]
