Native American Proverbs

Chief Sitting Bull: “If we must die, we die defending our rights.” “The white man knows how to make everything, but he does not know how to distribute it.

Because I’m old, I’m prejudiced. Because I’m straight, I’m homophobic. Because I believe in Right and Wrong, I’m intolerant. Because … Continue reading Branded
