I was the miniority in a majority of Inupiats, and a few Athabascans (sp). What amazed me was the Inupiat Admin of the hospital had all employees, natives, to diversity training lead by 2 white people. I asked the natives afterward abt what they took away from the meeting. I thought the meeting was rather stupid. 100,000 dollars was spent for what? Natives were not interested in white man's thinking, diversity, only their culture. The people r happy as they are, somehow I think they got it right. Simple life. I still keep in contact w/a few friends in Nome. Oh, sorry you r racist, but I understand, sometimes I wish I had a voo doo doll to stick pins in with someone's name on it. Don't let the world drive you insane, or turn your heart to bitterness, keep your heart open to love. Oh yeah, I'm Ms. White Person I have the same problem, racism. I hate all colors that way I'm giving to all my hate, equality you know...lately it is homosexuals, I want them to pay for the destruction of American children, and I advocate it to everyone, SUE'EM!
