we know this is about preserving native-american culture and keeping native-american children in their communities, but this child has never lived on a reservation, never been a part of a native-american unit or family. this is a child that was born to a mom who said, i can't support her. the dad is not helping me, i don't have any other alternatives but to give this child up for adoption. the adoptive parents go through the vetting process, they adopt this child and she's just stripped away. i don't think that's the intent of this law. >> the fact that the biological dad didn't provide pre-birth support to the daughter part of the south carolina law and he signed a waiver saying he wouldn't contest the adoption, that doesn't have any effect on this case? >> i think it's going to have a tremendous effect on the case. i hope the south carolina supreme court looks to kansas, because the kansas supreme court, in about 1982 or so had to address a very similar case. they found an exception to that federal law and said that law was intended for children who are already living on indian reser

they sent two coroners up here and determined it was native american. >> reporter: jim peck who owns this 8 unit building says the crew found a human skull and other bones. the find prompted a call from a native american indian group out of sacramento. >> the first question was, how i do plan to rebury it? wait a minute, i'm not related though this guy. >> reporter: the san mateo county coroner office says they do believe this is a native american indian skull. one clue? ground-down molars found in a jawbone. some people are coming by to look at the skull. they think it's still here. the bones are no longer on site. it's now up to a forensic anthropologist to determine the origins. but it's got neighbors talking. >> who was there underground? weird. >> reporter: zach taylor's front door is a few feet from where the remains were dug up. >> still nervous. it's creepy. human remains, you know? right where you sleep at night. >> reporter: in san carlos, zack heene, cbs 5. >>> a local grocery chain is taking a stand against fraudulent service animals. some safeway stores recently began po

first-come it marked the start of the longest and most brutal war between americans and a single native tribes also because it involved the woman who was to be the most famous as a captive. it took place precisely at the point* where the westward booming american empire that the parker's did not realize that enormous american empire moving west. meeting the 250,000 square bio comanche empire. nobody could see this at the time but it was right there. that is where the parker's build the house. how they had any idea that is what they we're doing i am sure they never would have done it. why was that empire there? the reason it was there is a result of 150 years of sustained combat with one goal of the south plains. why? those the master the horse like no other tried because that is where the buffalo were. over 150 years the comanche's essentially use their unbelievable mastery of the course to challenge as they went south nearly exterminated the apaches eventually gaining what they wanted which was the south plains which is where the buffalo were. that is where the parker's plucked that li

he's opposed to tribal language which has been included in the reality draft this would give native american tribes limited jurisdiction to prosecute those who have committed acts of domestic violence on their land so he says that this provision would extend travel jurisdiction over non indians now actually it would hold those accountable who commit acts of violence against native american women so there you have it grassley oppose elements that extend protections to gays undocumented immigrants and native americans or in other words he does want to protect anybody who's disliked by the republican party so i think it's pretty clear chuck is telling the line despite the efforts put in by other politicians to make sure that women can feel safe this senator has a different set of priorities let me just explain something when it comes to protecting women against domestic violence it doesn't matter if they're gay or straight legal or illegal or what their race or ethnicity is domestic violence is not ok in any situation so why does it matter who the victim is so for playing partisan politics pote

they harvest the eagles when they die and everything for native american rituals. have to apply for it. this is an american wheel prayer symbol. it's carved out of the elk bone. i wasn't for sure whether the feather would cancel out this, you know, the medallion, or this. >> obviously if you're going to wear a religious article, one at a time. i don't have a problem with that being in the cell. the feather and you taking that as well. i think we'll be fine with that. because you're not going to wear the feather. >> no, no. >> i don't see that that would be an issue. >> you have so little in prison and everything. the spiritual becomes vastly important. >> i would say during my early years, they done the right thing by locking me up. i was too messed up. i really was. and i hope that when i do die, that people can look back and say well, the person that he did become in his later years would bear no resemblance to the person he was when he was 18, 19, 20. i wish i could get out. i totally understand why no one would ever even ask, even float the idea of me ever getti

justice, as the native american says, is just us, to it the native establishment. for the native american, the white power system. for us in contemporary time, there is no justice. there is no justice in the courts. and that's sad commentary. and it's mainly predicated, from my perspective, on the swollen power and control that the executive class has now administered on the judicial class. the judicial power, discretion, separateness now has been vastly, vastly inroaded. the kind of final comment, and i'll put it into contemporary setting, is when it is said the law is fair, it applies to everyone equally. no one is above or below the law. the rule of frame is the street people cannot sleep under the bridge, but the chief of police and the district attorney cannot sleep under the bridge. see how fair it is? it's equal. isn't it?

living off the land, washington also had his first encounter with native americans. whose liquor-induced war dance he found highly entertaining. the allure of the west, shadowy preview of the continental republic he would champion. this seized ahold of him with a grip that never relaxed. this then is washington at 22. a young giant whose social status has yet to catch up to his imposing physical stature. by then he was a celebrity, based on the reconnaissance of the french and indian territory. lawrence's death in july 1752 had opened the door to the military career his younger brother coveted. with no practical experience, george was appointed a major. in the southernmost of virginia's four military districts. he pulled every string within reach to be transferred to the more prestigious command of the northern neck. his jockeying for position paid off in the autumn of 1753. that there was more to this ambitious youth than mere place seeking is evidenced by the decision to entrust washington with an assignment that would test the mettle of one many years his senior.

like the native americans the mexicans are seen as being in the way of progress. i used the quote of american manifest destiny were things i got. the mexican government was quite aware who was dealing with and the lady -- late 1820s the mexican commission wrote americans were an ambitious people. without a spark of good faith. as robert kagan writes in dangerous nation everybody viewed the united states this way including the spanish, french and british. french diplomats called the american populace warlike. the information got out somehow without fancy technology. shortly after the same framework, native americans and mexicans supplied by the north and the american south. lazy do nothing society in a way of progress. it was not no. opposition to slavery that triggered the civil war although it came to play an important role as the unifying theme. i'm not excusing slavery and it might well be argued that without the war slavery would have continued for several decades more also some historians disagree with that assessment. the more fundamental conflict was a clash

, and native-americans, that is american indians, and these groups are protected not by the act explicitly as members of racial groups but as members of language minority groups, i think because congress was struggling to come up with a way of explaining who it was trying to reach and protect. i don't think this is mostly about social disadvantage as much as the historical political advantage. people were identified by the state as members of racial groups and then the state acted and was to diminish their political participation. i've written that when it comes to section two cases, if race no longer has an important meaning in people's lives, if 50 years from now we reach that kind of assimilationist nirvana in which if you ask somebody to describe somebody else, their race would never come up, then the voting rights act will have nothing to say about that race because at that point there won't be racially polarized voting and there won't be restrictions on people's ability to elect preferred candidates because of race, just as for example right now, l

i was also fascinated to study agnew from the angle of native american indian policy. and it kind of dove tails with what you were talking about. he took an interest in that. >> he did. >> i think it showed his liberalism. when it got serious in 1970 he was nowhere to really be found in it. the last thing is when you mention these two marylanders, agnew and roger morton, you got this ideological divide in the party but it's also fascinating it's a geographical divide and maryland being something of a border state, that those two names come to the forefront. >> first of all, the agnew papers are at the university of maryland college park. after agnew resigned he worked with the staff for about nine months cataloging them. i worked with them. they're sensational papers. they're organized. the staff is very efficient, and i found things about agnew writing in 1964 about -- jotting down notes about how he was worried about barry goldwater. also found letters he wrote to -- if any of you were from colorado, do you remember senator thomas keikel. agnew wrote him a letter say

country, shannon county, south dakota, we have done work in new mexico for voters who are speaking native american languages. recently we worked in metropolitan cleveland as well as lorraine county, ohio, for voters who are spanish-speaking puerto rican voters. the census bureau as you know released their new determinations of language minority coverage of section 203 of the voting rights act. when i met with the election directors and with you a year ago, one of the very strong messages you delivered was to try and get those determinations out as early as possible so that jurisdictions can have the time to prepare. and we heard you. and i hope we have given you the rec question is it time that you need to get the job done because i know it's an important job. i know there are transitions. i was a local elected official. i remember in my county, the year i ran for office was the first year they were subject to the bilingual ballot provision and there was undeniably a lot of transition involved in that effort. so we heard you and we worked very close with the census bureau to make sure this was don

native american. there was a time when people decided that's too offensive. they changed it to the, anyone know what the name of the umass team is now? the patriots. actually, they call them the minutemen. come on, shuttup. but the idea was, even as they changed the name from red men top minute men, i thought what are they eventually going to call it? they going to call it the whales? the snail darters. no, they'll be offended to. when we're looking for nonoffensive language, i think we're on a slippery slope. let's take a look at a few more of these. this is a classic illustrated version of uncle tom's cabin". very clear image. you see the evil slave catcher in the background with the dog. you seep the black man coming out of the swamp, flightened. okay in probably one of the most powerful images in uncle tom's cabin if you don't get little elsa dying and going to heaven. idea is you're capturing exactly what the story is about. it's about slavery. when harriet beecher stowe wrote this story, what do you think was in her mind? was she trying to not be offens

she is the first native american woman canonized. the first native american canonized.ll happen now, as cardinal moto is asking the holy father to give permission. the saints through their holyness are in hevan. so the announcement of miracles is really a testament that they are in heaven interest seeding for -- interceding for us. and that's the miracle that we can pray and ask for their intercession. so the process for determining that these people are indepeed eligible or worthy of being named saints is that by the way they lived, by their example, by their faithful service, by their teaching or in their death, if they are martyrs -- this group does not contain martyrs, i don't believe, so if this died for the faith, this goes over everything they ever wrote, testimony from people that knew them is all contributing to this process. it is not just the miracle, but it is everything else that went in their lives. >> a great amount of consideration that is involved. it takes years. >> yes. >> there is still mother mary lane. >> and there has been one miracle attested to

the name of the team was redman, native american. it was a time when people decided that that's too offensive so they changed it to the? anyone know what the name of the u. mass. team is now? the patriots. actually, they call them the minutemen. patriots, minutemen, come on, shut up. i was wondering as they changed the name from redmen to minutemen. are they going to call it the whales? that's an unoffensive creature. >> we can't use that. we'll call them the snail doves. they're offended too. the idea is looking for nonoffensive language we can wind ourselves on a slippery slope. let's take a look at a few more of these. then we'll go on to my notes on the board. this is a classic illustrated version of "uncle tom's cabin." very clearly imaged you see the evil slave catcher with a dog. you see the black man coming out of the swamp frightened. probably one of the most powerful images of "uncle tom's cabin" if you don't get everybody else dying and going to heaven. the idea is you're capturing what the story is about. it's about slave

a third native american and a third african and a third anglo celtic. in tokyo, and i can probably negotiate a native american treated in a room by myself. and i could sign my own reparations check, okay? i could only been created in the united states. and, frankly i'm delighted by. i'm very circuit all had happened after mr. interact. it is what it is and i am what him. the bottom line is the bottom line is there isn't anybody who made it because of some ayn rand i am the individual. the biggest take is right now are my elite friends in the financial sector. and so we need to type of loud and strong. these cuts are unacceptable. we do not need to be building a bullet train with the kids in jordan downs are still dodging balls but we need to let jerry brown not doing this. have to set the priority. if you can't put a floor and create the basic safety for all children to learn and thrive, no matter what stations are born into, that's demented i'm just talking about talk that the kind of safety of enveloping i'm talking about safety in efforts to walk to

then not until the federal government decided the land of the native americans a and i am 1/3 native can and but i am also you probably couldn't negotiated treaty and assign my own reparations check. [laughter] iaconelli has been created in the united states i am delighted buy it. i am what i am and i am not apologizing but the bottom line is there isn't anybody from ayn rand or i am the individual parts of the biggest takers are my friends in the financial sector. we need to pipe up loud and strong. the cuts are unacceptable. we don't need to ride the bullet train my kids are still dodging bullets and let jerry brown know we're not doing this. if you cannot create the basic safety for all children to learn and thrive, no matter what station airborne, that is the minimum. i am just talking about a safe enough for kids to walk to school not encounter a gain in the bathroom and learn without posttraumatic stress and for them to walk home without getting shot. i don't think that is a lot to ask. i see capitalism create more wealth for poor people not talk about going to communism but kee

said listen because of historical atrocities directed primarily toward african americans and native americanse playing field has still not been installed at a legal basis. that culturally blacks and american indians are held back because they didn't have the resources, they didn't have the traditions that the white people have. >> right. there's even bias in certain testing that you consider the sat. >> i throw that out. i don't believe that for a second. >> all right. fine. >> here's what i do believe. that's true. i do believe that because of poverty, particularly, all right, that african american students and not all of them but a lot of them and native american students are at a disadvantage live in bad neighborhoods, they don't get the tax dollars they do in the rich neighborhoods. they don't go to prep schools, all of that. society does have an obligation. that is the primary argument for affirmative action in college admissions, correct? >> yes. there is really not been a lot of question by sound minds that that has been a legitimate problem when it comes to college admissions. the que

diversity in the music industry, and respect for cultural forms, whether it is cajun music or native american music. i did want to also say that i am going to continue to work with the music industry, like the executive director of the recording academy, to bring awareness of how music and the industry is an economic driver for the city. i also have a hearing today for an economic study analysis of the critical role of the music industry and local artists, nightclubs, and the entertainment industry, as an economic driver of the city. i also continue to do work in our cultural centers to support the inclusion of neighborhood art in the america's cup, and working hard to strengthen our equity arts programs. i move that we tabled this item. president chiu: colleagues, supervisor mar has made a motion. can we do that without objection? without objection, that is the case. madam clerk, can you read the in memoriams? >> for the redevelopment agency. on behalf of supervisor olague for the late dr. robert kamen. president chiu: is there any more business in front of this body? >> that concludes our m
