Excellent!!! These people need to remember that our Natives also have rights to fair and just treatment. These people are so used to living that HATE, their hearts are made up of salt.

We as a Tribe (CRST) are now fighting racism with racism. To stage a protest on a business based on the race of the owner makes us no better. If this man were native would we be doing the same? The tribe has sex offenders on the payroll.Good Video

It's about time - this "man" if you can call him that has reportedly has done other abusive and violent things and all to our Native people including the elderly and children. He will NOT get a tribal business license.

If people hate Indian & continue to work in the store, they should be removed. Anyway, discrimination against Indians is NOT acceptable. It's illegal since anti-discrimination laws are already in effect. These laws should have teeth.

The race of the business owner is a factor simply because the owner made it a factor by discriminating against indians, probably because he feels a sense or racial superiority. If the customers were white would he discrimate against them? I doubt it

This issue has been a challenge for Native Americans in Indian Country. We have people who work for Native American Indian Communities, who are racial. They discriminate, and speak with a fork tongue.
