"Go tell it to the white men! They're lookin' for Indians that stay proud even when they hurt... just so long's they don't ask for their rights!" -- from The Ecstasy of Rita Joe (12967) by George Ryga (b. 1932-07-27, d. 1987-11-18)

[Today is the first full day of Sukkot, Thanksgiving in Canada, Indigenous People's Day a bunch of places, still Columbus Day in some places, I think. I picked one of those to fit a quote to. (It's also the birthday of at least three of my friends, and also John Prine). To folks celebrating Sukkot, chag sameach! To Canadians, a good Thanksgiving! To various friends, happy birthday! And to everyone, a thought about indigenous peoples in various lands, and what the rest of us owe them.]
