Subject:        FW: "Indian Hunting Season" flier and ad

  Greetings,
  Information on this hate flier has been posted before. We have now
come to find out that the flier was also printed in a South Dakota paper
as an ad. And though the goverment keeps talking about this situation,
nothing has been done. Maybe this would not seem so important if it
were not for the fact that many Native People have been murdered in
South Dakota last year including the mulilatation murder of two Lakokas
that gave raise to Camp Justice. The reasons why these things keep
happening is that most in the dominate never  seem to get outraged if
the victims of hate and racism are Native. For racism against Native
People has become a pasttime sport for America, look to the
Washington "Redskins" or look at the logo of the Cleveland Indians, "go
team go!" Or look at the struggles in education, of a young girl
standing up to a school board. Of the issue over using the word "Squaw"
for the names of locations and in some schools when talking about
Native Women. That word is the foulest generally used "non-cuss" word
around (I say that it is a non-cuss word because that is the way it is
viewed). I have often wondered why the womens movement has not take
up that issue, for the word not only degrades Native Women but also all
Women.
  I know that some people get rather mad at me for pointing out things
like this all of the time. But I have to do this. For if our struggle for social
justice does not include all people, then it is social justice for only the
privileged. Arthur J. Miller

CAMPBELL CALLS FOR FEDERAL INVESTIGATION OF
   " INDIAN HUNTING SEASON" FLIER

   Washington, DC--- U.S. Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell called on the
Department
   of Justice to launch a hate-crimes investigation into a newspaper ad
   announcing the start of " Indian Hunting Season."
       Campbell received a copy of the ad, which ran in a South Dakota
   newspaper, that is intended to look like  a real hunting season
announcement.
   The ad declares open season on the Sioux reservations, sets a limit of
ten
   kills per day and other regulations for where and in what manner
Indians
may
   be killed.
       Campbell, Chairman of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee, wrote
Attorney
   General Janet Reno that " when such an ad authorizes hunting
season on
human
   beings and places a limit on how many can be killed, surely it is
reason
for
   law enforcement to take action. Such a solicitation to commit mass
homicide
   must run afoul of federal law. I am requesting that you direct an
   investigation by the appropriate hate crimes office within the
department."
       He also pointed out that in the 1800's, some Coloradans expressed
support
   for the Sand Creek Massacre.
       " For those that think anti-Indian sentiment and feelings are a relic
of
   the past, I urge them to read this product of a twisted and hateful
mind,"
   Campbell said in a Congressional Record Statement last week. " ( do
not
know
   what date they are referring to as it was not mentioned in this
   article.....Erth) " At the turn of the millennium here in the greatest
nation
   on earth, there are pockets of hate that continue to thrive. After my
tenure
   here in Congress, I know full well the limits of government. I know we
can
   pass no law forcing people to respect each other, or forcing them to
be
   tolerant. But this ad goes beyond mere hurtful worlds and actually
advocates
   murder and I condemn it in the strongest possible terms."

   The following is a copy from the newsletter of the actual " Indian
Hunting
   Season" flier.
