I don’t know the story but it is a Lakota family name that I have seen here previously. It does catch the imagination but I never had the nerve to ask.

Sad that it’s another young person trapped into drugs.

“An APD officer noticed a taxi cab leaving the area and conducted a traffic stop. The suspected driver of the vehicle was the passenger in the cab, attempting to flee the scene.”

“Hughes” is a real name? WTH does it even mean? Where’s the story on that one?
I haven’t been around Humboldt a real long time, but long enough to know Jealousofhim is not an unusual name.

Naw not really going for racism. Sarcasm is my forte. Just funny how every POC has a title nowadays and you can’t refer to color….but I’m just white. So no. Im just a sarcastic pessimistic asshole. Have a great day “actual native”. I actually have a lot respect for The People which I refer to them now ( no sarcasm)

Quoth John Trudell:

“When Columbus got off the boat, he asked us who we were. We said we’re the Human Beings, we’re the People.

Conceptually the Europeans didn’t understand that, it was beyond their conceptual reality. They didn’t see us. They couldn’t see who we were.

Historically speaking, we went from being Indians to pagans to savages to hostiles to militants to activists to Native Americans. It’s five hundred years later and they still can’t see us. We are still invisible.

They don’t see us as human beings, but we’ve been saying to them all along that’s what we are.

We are invisible to them because we are still the Human Beings, we’re still the People, but they will never call us that. They taught us to call ourselves Indians, now they’re teaching us to call ourselves Native Americans. It’s not who we are. We’re the People.”

And, truly, everyone I’ve asked says they prefer “indian” to “Native American” because it’s funny, because they weren’t consulted on what to call this hemisphere.

I am Dene’ and prefer to be called Indian. When stupid Colombus landed in Santo Domino, one of his Priests called the people they encountered “Hente en dios”. People of god. Over time en dios was shortened to Indios and finally anglicized to Indian.

Quit being a victim. Nobody knows who you are so they base their first impressions on how you esteem yourself. Historically, you’ve always seen yourself as invisible. Start teaching your children that they can be whomever they want. Quit waiting for someone else to empower you. Empower yourself. Everything else is just a complex excuse.

He meant the European Americans can’t see the People… not that the People are invisible. He was speaking of the one side’s blindness, not the People’s invisibility.

We need more like John Trudell, and he did, indeed, leave a lot of his DNA walking around, lots more than most know about, lots more than the feds burned down when they burnt down his house and wife and children.

It’s true that many indians are not doing a great job raising up children, but it’s also true that the ones who are are the kind of invisible Trudell was talking about.

Personally, I think it’s funny, in a black humor sort of way, that more and more anthropologists and scientists and scholars are figuring out that the lifestyle most closely matched to human nature, and the planet’s wellbeing, is the one being lived in this hemisphere before Columbus and Conquistadors. In fact, that was the way of living in the other hemisphere before they, too, were conquered and genocided.

That’s fine. Can u call me Irish American then? Which technically I suppose is what I am now. Being called white is borderline racism FYI since it refers to me as a color and not a human. No comment needed

There is a Native Vet with the name of Jealousofhim on the Vietnam wall memorial.

http://www.vvmf.org/Wall-of-Faces/25663/FRANK-W-JEALOUS-OF-HIM

I know two wonderful Native twin girls that used to be coworkers and are still friends with that name, and have seen pictures of many of their family member’s with that name on Facebook.

Can you imagine what they think of the strange Germanic, Russian, Spanish, Etc last names all you folks (myself included) have? Yet they manage not to disparage you.

Those here and on Facebook that are ridiculing their name, your white privilege tinged racism is showing, you might want to tuck it back in and zip up.

If you want to talk about an effed up name, how about discussing the sports team that uses the Racist epitaph “Redskins”, the direct equivalent of the N-word to Indians?

Ellis Island changed plenty of our gringo names.

Is it “The People” or “the People”? Seems a bit exclusive still.

If “redskin” was the same to the descendants of the aboriginal peoples of the area as “nigga” is to people who have at least one parent who can trace their ancestry to a place where people of darker skin come from, then why aren’t the aforementioned aboriginal descendants calling everyone, “redskin”?

Because those other people sure like to call everyone, “nigga”.
