Dirty Words

Last night I learned words that no one should learn.

They were dirty words from another Native American tribe. I'm Navajo and I don't even know any Navajo words -dirty or otherwise. But last night I learned more words from that tribe than my own.

It was a blast, I have to admit.

This gives you an insite as to what we AIJI students are up to when all our work is done and we have some free time on our hands. (Not that we talk about dirt things all the time...)

  • Tell us what you think about the 'Navajobama' T-shirt, and we'll send your comments to the manufacturer—and to the Obama for President campaign. (No profanities, please.)

  • A Native American gay wedding ceremony takes place at a Two Spirit gathering in Montana.

  • Omission disappoints Native Americans attending the presidential candidate's speech in Wisconsin. Others express concern over Obama's stance on Indian gaming.

  • A Tennessee high school, whose mascot is the Indians, takes the Native American motif one step further: It calls school grounds "The Reservation."

  • The Native actor’s role on 'Law and Order: SVU' is coming to an end, but he plans to stay busy with an Internet TV show, a book and a new baby.
