Tribal Affairs


"Women’s traditional" competition, Gathering of Nations, 2007 

I’ve been meaning to put up a post-powwow update.  Instead, I’m thinking of launching a separate blog devoted exclusively to tribal issues.  ARA’s roots are in politics and policy, broadly defined; I think the tribal issues tend to get lost in the shuffle, particularly since we’re already gearing up for the ‘08 race at a ridiculously early stage.  I’ll still post about Native issues here at ARA, but I think a dedicated site will 1) provide for greater depth, and 2) encourage me to post more regularly on both sites.

Thoughts?  Suggestions?  Insults?

The Human Condition

 

Particularly apt for a return to blogging after what’s been in some ways a rough couple of weeks:  one favorite blogger who made me want to weep, followed immediately by another who made me laugh out loud.

Condolences to Dave at LG&M on the loss of a family member.  Props to Tbogg for finding the humor in the unfunniest of spectacles.  And thanks to both of you for blogging in the first place; in the unrelenting catastrophe that is life during the Bush maladministration, you guys are two reasons to get up in the morning.
