<p>[QUOTE=&quot;clembo, post: 311454, member: 8033&quot;]I&#039;m in the same camp as well Lemmyk,</p><p><br /></p><p>My original post was not about Congress although I know that&#039;s where it &quot;starts&quot; as it were.</p><p><br /></p><p>My post concerned &quot;insulting&quot; the Native Americans once again. If we are to have true &quot;Native American Dollars&quot; they should be designed by TRUE Native Americans.</p><p><br /></p><p>I may be pushing the &quot;politics and religion&quot; boundries here but so be it.</p><p><br /></p><p>In God We Trust does not mean a lot to a &quot;non-converted&quot; Native American. They have a vastly different believe system and it worked quite well actually. E Pluribus Unum doesn&#039;t really apply either. Don&#039;t think too many Native Americans were speaking Latin before foreigners landed on the shores.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My stepmother was Sioux raised on a reservation. She and my father (of German decent) &quot;converted&quot; as it were. His idea I can assure you. When she went to see the &quot;Great White Buffalo&quot; in Wisconsin many years ago he was incensed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course he was, it wasn&#039;t their religion. What does the &quot;Great White Buffalo&quot; stand for? Peace among nations - now there&#039;s a horrible concept.</p><p><br /></p><p>If Congress and the Mint want to truly represent Native Americans then they should let them TRULY design the coins. Would probably be a much bigger hit anyway and possibly teach some people some real history.</p><p><br /></p><p>Mods, edit if you must. Had to get it off my chest as it were.</p><p><br /></p><p>clembo[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
