re: #100 I Stand With Big Sodomy!

Yes, that is why I said it was not perfect. However, what exists between the Non Natives and Native Alaskans and the Inuit is much different than the history of racism in the lower 48. Todd Palin, is Alaska Native.

Todd is, I believe, has some Yup’ik blood through his grandmother, Blanche Roberts Palin. It’s never been established exactly whether she is full blooded or not. They simply like to tout what you wrote about Todd for cred.

I have a maternal great-grandmother who was full blooded Cherokee, but I’m a blue-eyed blonde. Intermarriage between whites and natives was not unusual anywhere in the country 100 yrs ago or more.

In AK, if you have very little Native Alaskan blood, you can participate in their benefits. It’s one way that whites have succeeded so well in manipulating so much for themselves, including natural resources and other means of wealth and also the corruption of the culture of Native Alaskans.
