A lot of native American languages have been lost and I suppose that is the way of the world and no one is to blame, certainly no one born in our century is to blame.

Mistakes were made but I am as much native American as an Indian person. We're all travelers and came from somewhere.

I certainly hold no grudge against the English even though I do enjoy provoking you. There is simply nothing in the past worth trying to achieve in the present.

Irish North Americans tend to have romantic fantasies about Ireland.

Religion's still an excuse there, but it's no longer the reason...
Religion is the badge that differentiates the two sides. One side, the Catholics are the exploited, colonized natives. The other side, the Protestants, are the rich capitalists living on the sweat of the oppressed. They are about as Irish as the Honk Kong Chinese. They were dispatched there as the occupying army.
