“If you’re that concerned about gay people getting married, then don’t marry one.” -Whoopi Goldberg, Back to Broadway Stand-up
My parents celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary this summer. Both my parents are multi-tribal. My mother is of course Sac & Fox, Seneca-Cayuga, Wyandotte, Onondoga, Creek and Seminole. My father (well, actually step-father) is Creek, Yuchi and Cherokee.

“Up in the sky, grandmother sits and weaves a basket. Beside her is her small dog. Whenever grandmother gets close to finishing the basket, the dog jumps in her lap and tears the basket apart. Grandmother has to start all over again weaving the basket. It is said that when grandmother completely finished the basket, she will swoop down from the sky and collect all the Shawnee up in her basket. She will take them up into the sky and she will then destroy the Earth.” -Shawnee story, told to me by Darrell E. Longhorn
