In the government schools, which are referred to as public schools, Indian policy has been instituted there, and its a policy where they do not encourage, in fact, discourage, critical thinking and the creation of ideas and public education. Russell Means
Golden eagles don`t mate with bald eagles, deer don`t mate with antelope, gray wolves don`t mate with red wolves. Just look at domesticated animals, at mongrel dogs, and mixed breed horses, and you`ll know the Great Mystery didn`t intend them to be that way. We weakened the species and introduced disease by mixing what should be kept seperate. Among humans, intermarriage weakens the respect people have for themselves and for their traditions. It undermines clarity of spirit and mind. Russell Means
Russell Means quote: "When a woman grabs my braids and says "How cute!" I crab her..."
When a woman grabs my braids and says "How cute!" I crab her breast and say "How cute!" She never touches me again! Russell Means
Tourists came around and looked into our tipis. That those were the homes we choose to live in didn`t bother them at all.

It boggles my mind that tourists feel they have the god-given right to intrude everywhere. Russell Means
I'd like to talk about free markets. Information in the computer age is the last genuine free market left on earth except those free markets where indigenous people are still surviving. And that's basically becoming limited. Russell Means
Let me go to Clinton's new proposal: to have uniforms in public schools. And people are doing that. How come they're doing that? Dress codes! I find that abhorrent. Russell Means
Young people and Indian people need to know that we existed in the 20th Century. We need to know who our heroes are and to know what we have done and accomplished in this century other than what Olympic athletes Jim Thorpe and Billy Mills have done. Russell Means
"Indian policy" has now been brought down upon the American people, and the American people are the new Indians of the 21st Century. Russell Means
So Indian policy has become institutionalized and the result has been that American people have become more dependent on government and that the American people have become more dependent on corporations. Russell Means
Russell Means quote: "If I want my people to be free, Americans have to be free."
If I want my people to be free, Americans have to be free. Russell Means
