Show 4. v mar Ai Women in politics resentatives, by Cade Anderson viewpoint writer The 1992 election year, proclaimed by some of the media as the "Year of the Woman," symbolized the nation's attempt at gender equality. When Hillary Rodham Clinton came into the media light with a stab toward equality, it marked the nation's slowly increasing "feminist" awamess. Even so, with such media exposure, the rate at which women are being established is staggeringly low. One example being the House of Rep V, I ihmic mum continued from page 2 60 percent, would it? Addtionally, Native author Vine Delorias statement on paternalist policies such as educational assimilation, Congress always wanted to do away with paternalism. So it has a policy designed to do away with Indians. If there arc no Indians, there can be no paternalism. The educational assimilation of the Native Americans was comparable to the federal government intentionally giving the Mandan Indians smallpox infected blankets to destroy them and their culture. Regardless of how one looks at it, the intent to eliminate a culture or race and replace or dominate it through means of extermination or education is still genocide. Looking back on history, it is perfectly apparent that the United States never intended to keep any of its promises towards the Native Americans. As usual, the American government adapted to the necessity of the moment, when the crisis had past, it promptly proceeded on its way, without a backwards glance at its colonialism has sought to render itself effectively permawhich currently nent.

In Mien Kampf, Adolf Hitler praised America for the success of the systematic extermination of the Native Americans. The Indian Wars of the past should be considered the first foreign wars of America. As the U.S. marched across the contininent, it was creating an empire by wan of foreign conquest much the same way as the England and France of old, the domination of Kuwait and Bosnia, and through less obvious economic imperialism, the takeover of Mexico. Nearly all U.S. relations are imperialistic, just like the wars against the Sioux, Apache, Utes, Yakimas and countless others in history. In every case the goal was identical: land Even today, Native Americans are not free. Industries run rampant on their land, polluting disproportionately because federal environmental regulations do not extend over native lands, and native efforts to stop the pollution are then undermined by the federal government. The government takes rights away from Native Americans and only partially gives them back over time to make itself look good and give the image that it is able to solve problems. It is all illusory. Until America begins to build a moral record with Native Americans, it should not try to fool the world about its intentions on other continents. The U.S. has always been a militantly imperialistic world power eagerly grasping for economic control of the weaker nations. Native Americans do not share European heritage. They were not at the signing of the Magna Charta. They did not help to create English common law. There is no justifiable reason why they should be forced to conform to European standards if they do not wish to. Despite what most think, the Constitution and manifest destiny not best ideologies ever constructed by humankind. If anything, they contributed to an unparalleled genocide never seen before, surpassing the ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, Iraq and the final solution of Nazi Germany combined, and unrelenting abomination of the never acknowledged history of Americas past and is continuing in full stride today. ft nmi antitu to ASCEU continued from page 2 Mike Cresto are genuinely concerned about the well being and Knott body.
