you can't say the native americans were wrong for saying missouri. you can't say the french were wrong for pronouncing it in their language, just different ways of pronouncing the same word. that is where we have the problem with the word different. different isn't a synonym of the word wrong. we have to be careful how we use it and our children. it answers the question, why do you write that? i write to tell the story. one that has fallen through the cracks, one marginalized by main stream history. either misrepresented or represented to the way in which it is a stereo typical, write to take those stereotypes, reshape them and give them back to you dressed in a new dress. i mean when i say different is not a synonym for wrong, it means that we should celebrate those things. everyone in this room is different in some way. but you should not feel bad about that. your uniqueness, as my grandson who loves to make up words, that is your wonderment. [laughter]. it answers that question that we get asked most often is why do you write? you can say pat is wr

the interesting thing with native american tribes is previously people would automatically assume that one tribe was the same as the next. my particular tribe, the cherokee, are completely different than our cousins out in oklahoma, the cherokee nation of oklahoma. within our reservation in north carolina, we have seven individual communities and each of those communities is completely different. we're a collective people, but we're all individualized in our communities. and how do they differ in terms of service delivery, for example, when you have to address their addiction issues? it comes down to developing that level of trust. some of our communities, it seems to be the communities that are closest to the center of the reservation are more apt to seek services as opposed to some of our more isolated communities, especially up in the mountain regions. very good. john, in your line of work you deal mostly with lgbt communities and i know you have experience with the disability sector as well. can you talk to us about particular idiosyncrasies within these that need to be addressed a

artifacts and native americans information. the other information that was in this report that happen to be redacted covers things such as the mexican american heritage, chinese, japanese, and german supplements at a lot of these sites that are being proposed. what i read that really interested me in this is that there was a document in there from the state university, and it talked about gathering the soil samples. they were not done consecutively. the suggestion by the experts is to make sure that they take consecutive samples at depths great enough to make sure these artifacts are actually found, and if so, taken care of properly. president miguel: thank you. is there additional general public comment on items not on the agenda? if not, public comment is closed. >> thank you. you can move forward on your calendar to public comment on agenda items where the public hearing has been closed. at this time, members of the public who wish to address you on an agenda item that is already been heard and the hearing has been closed, the o

the same thing for american indian, alaska natives, hispanics, african americans, and the same thing would be applicable to gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender. the key issue is of cultural competence and that is the thing that if indeed you know you've got a diverse population, you want your practitioners, your facilitators to be aware of some of these unique issues. and moving prior to the person even getting a problem as we address again the whole issue of prevention, are there some idiosyncrasies, going back to that word, of special populations that folks need to be aware of, you know, in terms of the viewership, in terms of what the types of programs that they get their messaging from. even the whole notion, as you were mentioning, john, of using the individuals that are in recovery to go out in the community, right? i think you were mentioning that. we have an amends part of our program where people make amends. that can commonly look like distributing bags of lunches to homeless populations. and that's when prevention comes in because that person receiving that lunch bag f

it has a unique history, from the spanish era, the native american era, and certainly more recently, the western and rancho period. it continues to be alive and well here. >> today, the new generation of owners is continuing the cattle venture. doug, carl, and carl's daughter amanda, along with their crew of workers, oversee the cattle operation where much of their beef goes to harris ranch to be sold at restaurants and stores up and down the state. to supplement their income on the ranch, they also have begun giving tours on the ranch to introduce their urban neighbors to the rural life that surrounds them. you might say they're going back to their roots and reinventing the past to introduce a special way of life to new visitors. >> you know, it means a lot. i think that people can really connect with the sense of place, the sense of family, and then really back roots agriculture. and people love it. >> but it's all in an effort to make people associate with this place, and create an experience from the land. with this place, and create an experience from the land. and that's kind of

for centuries, the native american people have been using the plants of the sonoran desert for food,spiritual needs. prickly pear cactus, or the nopal is a good example of that. the flowers are edible, the fruit a great protein source,

hero abraham lincoln did abraham lincoln the fine example american heroes he ordered the biggest mass execution off and united states history and it was of native american people thirty two dakota and by the order of abraham lincoln on one day and a public hanging with celebration to go with it is this this nation holds on to these heroes with blood on their hands and that's something the nation has to deal with itself and people make up the nation and people need to start looking realistically at who the nation is words come from what it's founded on how it was used to go forward does it wish to go forward with nothing or does it wish to go forward with truth. now lastly i think some people would say that perhaps you can't hold people like christopher columbus. who are from the fifteenth or sixteenth centuries you can't hold them to the same standards as you would someone in the twenty first century and then and for that reason i guess that it's not so bad because it at that point in time everyone had slaves right what do you say to people to make that argument well you know we have the same situation has arisen when you're on the murder of ov

we're in the midst of an ethnic cleansing against the native american population. being fueled by a transatlantic slave trade. we hadn't even fought our civil war yet, which was one of the bloodiest in terms of the history of the world. you got to start somewhere. the sudanese people -- they are not going to be denied. that's going to happen. so what we need to do is figure out, ok, what are the especially institutions that are most important to secure some level of stability and some level of authenticity, legitimacy for basic governing institutions? the united states by far and away is the biggest player in this. i think since the bush administration to the obama administration, there's been a bipartisan commitment on the part of congress to fund significant institution, building of programs that many african states at the time of independence in the 1950's and 191960's did not have the advantage of doing. you've still got the eethyopera area as a possibility. there's a lot of money to be made. this is not an insignificant factor. if they can figure out a way to s

people good things he brought a lot of suffering to the indigenous here despite the historic mistreatment of native americans the u.s. government has never issued a formal apology to their indigenous population as other nations have although there are petitions circulating throughout the u.s. for the government to renounce columbus day the idea is not welcomed by most americans in my opinion we have to sort of brady's mad at us if we do nothing like i don't know america or if things that we know that would have happened for it right now so it's to me it's correct to celebrate him that he wasn't looking also to conquer the world as anything else. i think that should continue on or the station be protesting it part of our history a day commemorating two narratives of history with two different ideas of how columbus achieved the western development of the america is a history that has marked every year by honor and betrayal john hoffa's r.t. washington d.c. . now to some of today's other international headlines israel is making a qualified offer to hold a settlement construction occupy the west bank the prime m
