I am somewhat frequently asked to react to articles that other people have encountered somewhere. Today's instance of this is Before European Christians Forced Gender Roles, Native Americans Acknowledged 5 Genders, which was published in The Indigenous American.

About 200,000 litres of oil spilled near Stoughton, Sask., last week, the biggest pipeline breach in the province since the Husky Oil spill last summer.

It happened on First Nations land near Stoughton, about 140 kilometres southeast of Regina.

Quotes are from http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/stoughton-oil-spill-cleanup-1.... Emphasis is mine.

Irony of Ironies! Barack Obama is now the "great white father" of the Native Americans (aka First Nations). Laugh or cry, I can't decide which. Obama is neither great nor is he white. He is not a father but an obedient child of the elites. He is bereft of any sort of humanity--and humility as well. GWF Obama is of Kenyan descent and maybe Trump was right: not an American at all.

This is such a big story I think it deserves it's own thread. Keeping all of the info in one place where people can find it. I have gone back to some of the open threads and pulled links from there to add here to give a kind of timeline from last weekend forward... Feel free to add to the list....

A strong man passed away on Sunday. A defensive warrior, a scholar, a leader, a patriot, a veteran, a preserver of The Long Memory - the unbroken chain of the spiritual ancestors of progressives everywhere. More below.
