More Hypocrisy for our Native Americans

From today's Washington Post story:

The “code talkers” were invited to the White House as part of National Native American Heritage Month, proclaimed by Trump on Oct. 31.

“Native Americans are a testament to the deep importance of culture and vibrancy of traditions, passed down throughout generations,” that proclamation read. “This month, I encourage all of our citizens to learn about the rich history and culture of the Native American people.”

“Together,” it read, “we will strengthen the relationship between the United States Government and Native Americans.”

And in a few weeks, the idiot will travel to southern Utah to shrink the newly declared Bears Ears National Monument, one that was declared at the behest of the tribes and the Navajo Nation. 

This action to Bears Ears (Shash Jaa in Navajo) will damage, not strengthen, the relationship with the US government. http://utahdinebikeyah.org/ 

Navajo Voices on Bears Ears
"Are you willing to make the right decision and protect...(the land) for future generations, or are we going to go down the wrong path and trade it in for money... We are honored to invite you to come to Bears Ears to take part in that responsibility. Share in that story but to come in a good and respectful way. If five tribes can lay down their previous struggles or battles with each other and take up a good conversation, a wonderful welcoming of everyone, then I think we can do that with everyone else here too." Angelo Baca, Utah Diné Bikéyah's Cultural Resources Coordinator

By the way, here's a pic of the Codetalkers pin the folks at the 2002 Olympics created to honor the Navajos who saved our country's ass by speaking in a language that was undecipherable to the Japanese.
