favorite quote

I received this quote from a friend today:
When asked by an anthropologist what the Indians called America before the white man came, an Indian said simply, "Ours."
~Vine Deloria, Jr.

And it reminded me of my favorite quote which hung in my parents’ entryway for as long as I can remember; now it hangs in mine and makes me laugh every time I come home.

(The picture on the plaque shows American Indians who are rolling in laughter….and it says…)

“When White Man came to this world Indians were running it.
There were no taxes or debt and the women did all the work.
And White Man thought he could improve on a system like that!”
