Facebook Twitter Email
MAY 21, 2001

"We’ve seen Indians here. A lot of ’em, and we’ve seen some things we hoped we’d never have to see. We’ve seen Native people misrepresenting Native people. We’ve seen the worst stereotypes of Indians promulgated by Indians themselves. We’ve seen Native people making a financial killing over here by passing themselves off as holy people, and charging naive Britons ridiculous sums of money to perform 'ceremonies.' Scary. . ."
