This article raises a lot of sentiments for me, most of them negative. With my still-fresh perspective of Ojibwe Country, this whole Stay Out of Our Land, You Illegal Hispanic Immigrant! mentality seems especially ignorant, and reactionary. And other things.

I bought a shirt in Minnesota. Mine is white, but they also come in black. I plan to get the black one, too, and wear both as often as possible.

Hi Caroline, this is Hilary. I'm switching LJ accounts so please friend back when you're online. Keep or unfriend icefilter as you please, I do not have a preference either way. Read this entry if you're afraid I'm someone else masquerading as, um, me. :D
