to marci about tribe honoring Obama

January 22, 2009

Dear marci ~ thank you for sharing this. It just elevates Obama even more in

my estimation. Since no one knew of it but the tribe; it wasn't a big pr

moment, just Obama being himself, reaching out to meet others on their own

terms. I'm so glad he is the President. Already he is hard at work to turn back

some of the stains left by the previous administration, like Gitmo. From the

moment I learned that Bush said America didn't need to abide by the Geneva

Conventions for those captured in a war, I knew there was going to be a lot of

bad stuff. I am so glad this is something Obama wants to bring back under a

true system of justice, and with expediency. Who knows how many innocents have

languished there. And even the ones involved should be accorded basic human

dignity. Obama has taken care to reach out to our " enemies " in his Inaugural

address. He was really reaching out a hand of equality and respect. It is wond

erful. Hope all is well with you ~ Linda

Something i heard from a friend who had just attended a Crow Sweat Lodge

ceremony in Montana the day before the inauguration. . . This is the

correspondence from her. . .

.. . . " Here's something I learned in the sweat. The Montana Crow

Agencyadopted Obama into their family when Barack was in Montana this

pastsummer by Hartford and Mary Black Eagle, His native name, Awe Kooda

Bilaxpak Kuuxshish, translates into " One Who Helps People Throughout

The Land. "

That's why it was great to see the Crow Agency folks atthe very

beginning of the Inauguration Parade, right behind Barack'shigh school

bands from Hawaii and Chicago.

For me, who understood the significance of the placement, it was another

indication of just how much Obama gets things. " . . .
