On telling Native people to just “get over it” and The Walking Dead by Cutcha Risling Baldy

November 10, 2014 By Captain Maiel

Cutcha Risling Baldy has written an article that will leave you understanding more about the issues in Native America than you had before you clicked. It is my hope that sharing these words of wisdom will help pull back the vale of privilege that keeps us apart. It is time to heal old wounds and not leave this for the next generations to deal with. Let’s finally agree that it’s not cool, telling native people to just get over it. It being something that whites never endure.

K. Williams' pet dog, Sadie Sue Shagbottom - dog friendly stores

K. Williams’ dog, Sadie Sue Shagbottom

Those of you who know me, know that I am an avid dog enthusiast. I grew up with dogs, I stalk dogs with my camera, I love every dog I see and I will always have a dog at my side. (Adopt don’t Shop!) I hope that one day MAGDRL will allow me to adopt one of their beautiful rescue Danes. Alas, I need a fence or they will not allow it. But, I digress.

When I found this article in my email from the BarkPost (a perk of those Bark Boxes you can order for your pet – yes, I get them for my girl because I’m a koo-koo dog mom), I was totally stoked that I could now bring my dog nearly everywhere. Soon, we will conquer the unfriendly Target chain.
