Originally printed at http://www.indiancountrytoday.com/opinion/New­York­tribes­are­outraged—why­arent­ you—103055789.html When New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg used offensive, derogatory and incendiary Old West imagery last month in discussing the controversy over tax collection from sovereign Indian nations, New York Indians staged a protest at City Hall, called on the mayor to apologize, passed resolutions condemning his remarks, and some even explored filing a formal “hate speech” complaint with the U.S. Department of Justice. The National Congress of American Indians and the United South and Eastern Tribes also weighed in, taking the mayor to task for his thoughtless, hurtful words. Some Indian people, myself included, expected that the mainstream media would pick up on the controversy. After all, whenever a politician or civil servant makes racist or bigoted remarks about other minorities, the national press always seems ready to pounce. But somehow, the fact that Mayor Bloomberg urged Gov. David Patterson to “get yourself a cowboy hat and a shotgun” to enforce the state’s legally questionable efforts to collect taxes from Indian­owned business didn’t even move the needle when it came to the national media’s attention level, while at the same time the mayor calls for tolerance regarding the siting of a Muslim mosque near Ground Zero did. college and major league sports teams or politicians half a continent away, every Indian person has a stake in squashing stereotypes that demean and dehumanize all Native people. If the governor of Minnesota or the mayor of Los Angeles or a sheriff in Arizona makes racist, inflammatory remarks Why is that? Is it because tribal nations about Native Americans, Indian people are too scattered to band together across the country should and must let effectively? Are we too wrapped up in their outrage be heard. our own concerns to pay attention to, or expend our energy on, events that Let us not allow elected officials to happen outside our immediate remain silent, either. Shame on us for communities? Or have we become so continuing to support their candidacies accustomed to this kind of denigration without finding out their views on that it no longer has the power to rouse Mayor Bloomberg’s bigoted comments, our ire? Whatever the reason, I am let alone for supporting those deeply concerned that the apathy is a candidates – regardless of their political reflection on our own views of party – who refuse to renounce his ourselves, which may be even more statements or to demand an apology dangerous to us than anything an from him. outsider can say. I am reminded of a statement I once Indian people in this country are blessed read which seems to fit this situation: with a great diversity of language, “those of you who feel powerless culture, heritage and tradition. Though continue to express that by maintaining we share many similarities, each of us your silence.” We must speak up for has our own rich tapestry of history and each other, lest there be no one left to ancestry, and each of us has our own speak up for us. pressing issues to deal with. But there is grave danger in focusing only on our Ray Halbritter is the federally own immediate concerns.

More disheartening, though, is that the mayor’s comments apparently didn’t even seem to stir Indian country outside the Empire State, either. For all the work American Indians have done in educating themselves and the outside world about who they really are – for all the protests over Indian stereotypes in film and television and offensive sports team names and mascots – We cannot afford to remain silent. politicians still feel free to invoke the Whether the offensive language or shameful era of colonization and imagery comes from Hollywood or “conquest” whenever they covet something the Indians have.
