I see Americans of every party, every background, every faith who believe that we are stronger together: black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American; young, old; gay, straight; men, women, folks with disabilities, all pledging allegiance under the same proud flag to this big, bold country that we love. That's what I see. That's the America I know!
I have good genes. My father is Danish and my mother is Irish and Native American. They both have good skin.
An awareness reached across America that if Native American people had to resort to arms at Wounded Knee, there must really be something wrong.
I started collecting aerial photographs of Native American and South Pacific architecture; only the African ones were fractal. And if you think about it, all these different societies have different geometric design themes that they use. So Native Americans use a combination of circular symmetry and fourfold symmetry.
It is important that Congress works to promote home ownership in Indian Country. These federal housing funds and programs will help young Native American families to stay on tribal lands in order to live, work and raise a family.
I'm very aware of my own background. I'm Irish, French, and then a little bit of everything else thrown in, ranging from German to Native American. We're talking about tiny drops of blood.
There aren't very many notable Native American female figures historically. That's the way that it's been. Pocahontas and Sacajawea.
The Native American cultures on this continent, most of them, were matrilineal, and some women were the chiefs. Societies were about balance.
The first Western teacher of English in Japan was a Native American.
I have Native American blood. I have African blood. I have European blood.
I'm very much involved in art. I started buying art a few years ago and really like the work of T.C. Cannon, who is a native American artist. Then I was introduced to Soviet-era Russian impressionism and started collecting that, especially Gely Korzhev.
