While I wholeheartedly agree with this article... I have to say... this cause is bigger than any one people. Despite the deplorable actions of our European ancestors... we now have no choice but to share this beautiful country. I'm a big ol' white homo... I do not expect to be embraced when I arrive at camp. I do not expect anyone to fall at my feet. It IS actually offensive to suggest that I do. I hope the food and supplies I bring will be put to good use. I will stay if my presence is beneficial... if not, I will be honored to have seen the largest gathering of Native People of my lifetime... and to learn anything I can from them. I am equally disgusted at the thought of a bunch of festival kids roaming around smoking dope and disrespecting the land... BUT... hear me out here... Getting pissed because someone asked a simple question like, "are there portapotties" only serves to alienate you and your people. For all you know that person was about to donate portapotties or chemtoilets. "This is not a festival.", is a true statement that passes on no praise nor blame. "White hippies stop coming" is a slap in the face to anyone genuinely trying to give assistance.
