Red Round-Up, 3/18/09

I should mentiont for every red round-up, I'm trying to avoid using the major native news outlets. This isn't an act of spite or anything, but an attempt to show how Natives appear through non-Native media outlets. It's an interesting comparison that I should probably read up on more sometime. Anyway! News!

Red Round-Up: The Rezurrection

It's been a while, folks. Been really busy. But I've decided to not let that have sway over me any more. So starting today, I'm going to get my output here back to normal. It's a process of picking up momentum really, so I'll start simply enough: I'm going to clear out all of my native related tabs that I'm not going to write a full length post about.

Didn't you miss me? Woot.
