Le Guignon Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, tsar4 said: Why would you use the White Man's term "tribe"? Because a lot of our native languages are extinct or endangered or we have very limited knowledge of them. Thanks to the genocide, boarding schools, missions, and continued anti-indigenous peoples policies. (Some languages are still going strong and a lot of tribes have preservation and restoration programs though.) So we use "tribe" and our languages are diverse enough where if we used the descriptor that best first our specific group other people wouldn't know what we were talking about. Also, as a non-native you have no place trying to police our language. Especially how we choose to refer to ourselves.

Wasn't trying to "police", I just figured there would be a Nations term for "Us" aka "tribe". Like I have "Clan Henry" and "Clan Keith" maternally.

HardcoreHunter Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I thought we weren't allowed to say the N word anymore. Isn't it First Nations People now? GF had a college class for Native American Studies, professor outright says if you use the word Native when you mean First Nations People on any paper; you're getting a 0 for the whole thing. In a class called Native American Studies. I only ever knew one Native, which was what he was cool being called. He was old and died a few years ago, used to date my grandma. His name was Buck, but people called him Blind Buck because of the cataracts. He made me a powder horn for my muzzle loader out of a cow or buffalo horn. Nice guy last of his tribe and family were probably the only ones who could claim to have been in this town longer than my family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I at least hope that he took it as a term of endearment. Either way I'm too stuck in my ways of saying Native American. I'll say the other term but it really doesn't come a natural. I'll post a pic of the horn. It has some names and map stuff off it. I have the one part covered because my name is also on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardcoreHunter Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 5 hours ago, //>wagz./ said: //> ha as long as he was cool with it , and that's an awesome horn very well crafted ./ Thanks my phone camera kinda sucked there at picking up the little detail stuff. I think the horn was something passed down, and he just added my name to it and gave it to me when I started hunting. My grandpa died when my dad was 6. If you remember how cars and tractors used to need to be cranked to start. Our tractor had that and it locked in and rotated the crank back breaking his arm; which led to a bone infection that killed him. So Buck was probably the closest thing he had to a dad growing up. Makes more sense though why my Dad originally was going to name me Buck, but mom wanted my name to be Hunter. No idea why she wanted Hunter, it wasn't a common name in the 80s. My brother had the more meaningful names already with both my grandfathers names as his first and middle, so I got named after a sport/hobby. So now he just has a puppy that he named Buck. He's a lil chungus. Though I doubt my dad didn't like the guy considering he keeps trying to name things after him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
