“Indigenous?” BS. His ancestors came here from Asia.

Anyone who was born here legally is a native American.

National Review is a nest of Never Trumper globalists.

They have zero credibility.

15 Marines were killed in action in May, 1975 in the Mayaguez Incident. This is considered the last battle of the Vietnam War. Their names are on the Vietnam Memorial.

I have no idea if Chief Tom Tom was there.

NRO still has the story wrong.

Agreed. That kid was not smirking. He was trying to keep a pleasant demeanor in the midst of an attack against his person. Trying to keep things light before it got completely out of hand. He deserves a peace medal. NR has been nothing but crap since Lowry took over. It was only good during the Buckley years. I’m going to contact my local stations and ask when they plan to update their story (literally) to show that the young men were attacked and provoked, not Heap-Big-Liar.

And how does Nathan Phillips get to claim the title of “indigenous man”?

Sorry, but Facebook and Instagram are not authorities on ancestry, any more than Churchill Ward and Lizzie Warren are.

Phillips has claimed that he had been spat on by “hippies” upon his return from Vietnam.

Apparently, many (if not all) of these spitting reports have been debunked as an urban myth. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if this turned out to be a complete lie from Chief S****ing Bull.

I think the kids would have been justified in taking the drum away from him and maybe having him wear it like a necklace.

He wanted a fight - give it to him.

To put it another way, if you were minding your own business in a public place and someone came right up to you and put a drum up to your face and made a huge racket inches from your nose, would you be happy about it?

When I was that age, I wouldn’t have smirked, but he would be bleeding profusely. I was a farm kid with a bad temper.

Correction, the media helped, they encouraged, they lied.

Indeed. I have gotten suspended for getting somewhat angry at some posters' vile anti-Catholic spewage.

Then there are those that deny that pretty much all Christian denominations have roots in Catholicism (Orthodox, Roman, or Coptic), and are splinter groups from said Church.

There was a reformation and what remains of the Catholic Church are the unenlightened

Thanks for the update.
