The Pileated Woodpecker was very sacred and valuable to my tribe (Yurok; N.Calif.Klamath River) I doubt if the average Joe could tell the difference between the two birds.

I read about the Yuroks on Wikipedia - very interesting. Is there a site you would recommend reading to get good information about your tribe?

I wish there were a way for Republicans/conservatives to reach out to the tribes. Some tribal people live on some of the most valuable land in the world, (like the land east of Pima Road near Scottsdale, Arizona). I would guess the average home price over there at $500-600K each, yet the hogans on the farmland are just horrible. Yet all the profits or subsidies seem to flow to a privileged few - probably the tribal leaders.

It’s the same thing down in Sacaton, or on the reservation near San Xavier south of Tucson... it’s disgraceful the stranglehold the libs have on these people. They need know they can succeed if they believe in themselves.

This issue bothers me a lot. I wish I knew what to do to reverse the problem. If the dems had their way, the tribal folks live the way they would like us all to live.
