David Yeagley is the great-great-grandson of Comanche leader Bad Eagle. 
BadEagle.com offers profound thanksgiving for American Indians today. We are eternally grateful that this race of people, these many nations, have chosen to honor their own identity above all other concerns. Indians have chosen to preserve ourselves, at unspeakable sacrifice, rather than melt, blend, compromise or carelessly efface our God-given ethnicity. We have chosen to be, rather than not to be. We have chosen to remain, rather than disappear.
BadEagle.com is grateful for the nature and character of the American Indian. We honor the wondrous hospitality, generosity, and compassion the Indians showed the poor, wretched white fugitives who washed ashore some 390 years ago. We are thankful that such a people as the Indians provided for the infant white people, nurtured them, and allowed them to develop into the greatest nation on earth. We praise the American Indian for such nobility and innocence of soul.
BadEagle.com honors the Indian nations for their steadfast resistance of the tempation to be weak, to surrender, and to evolve. American Indians remain the most noble example of nationhood, and what it means to love it, honor it, and preserve it. Indians have paid a terrible price for the freedom to be Indian. We generate the highest rates of social ills in any studied group. We have the highest rates of alcoholism, drug abuse, diabetes, suicide, violence, domestic abuse, and poverty in America. But we’re still Indian. We may be psychologically dysfunctional, perpetually alien to American white culture, and abjectly crippled in social skills in the white world, but, we’re still Indian. Being Indian is all the matters. Social advancement, fame, fortune, even job skills, are not primary in the Indian mind. The Indian is a kind of pre-Christian Christian, living with an almost incomprehensible innocence and non-competative spirit. That is the core of being Indian. Yes, unexpected encounters with aggressive, creative people–who threaten this idyllic state, brings out a seeminly unprecedented savagery of self-defense. This should be considered natural and right, however. (Indians need to do some memory tapping ourselves.)
BadEagle.com recognizes Indians for our unchanging values. Perhaps the prices we have paid were unnecessary, ill-advised, and more often the result of our own resentments. Perhaps our present sufferings are magnified by our own stubbornness. We are but human beings. The very highest human qualities are often ensconced in irony. When one’s natural preference for his own kind is consciously and dramatically challenged, nobility and strength often appear as irascibility and rebellion. When one actually fights, and sheds blood, to defend what it his, he often appears low and vile in the estimation of the attacker and victor. That’s one of the prices of steadfast self-preservation in the face of annihilation, culturally or physically.
BadEagle.com sees Indians as a glorious example in the world today of what it means to love ones own people. Only Serbia and Israel can be compared to the American Indian nations. The elements of nationhood–race, religion, language, borders, and culture, all are completely natural, and divinely ordained. Yes, it appears nations evolve, and sometimes disappear. But the fact is, some people hold on more tightly than others. Some people consider nationhood a sacred thing, after the divine order. Never mind their own articulations of their political or philosophical positions. Their actions speak most loudly.
BadEagle.com thanks all American Indians for their faithfulness, for their strength, and for their patriotism. We are exceedingly proud of the fact that Indians are exemplary in America, and humbly happy that American Indians set this example before the greatest nation on earth. We are still here. Our presence reminds America of what it means to be a nation, to love a nation, and to preserve a nation–precisely what America needs to know now. America’s Stygian state, its mindless drift on the river of Lethe, and its apparent fascination with deception and corruption, all spell disaster soon-coming. BadEagle.com is profoundly thankful to American Indians for providing a ready lesson in the costs of nationhood. We pray that America minds these lessons. The word is in their ears. The word is before their eyes. American Indian history is American history. The wrong understanding of this, or the complete absense of it, only indicates the kind of peril in which the American Nation stands.
BadEagle.com gratefully recommends that America reconsider American Indian history. In this history, America can recover its own identity as a nation. Henry David Thoreau wrote, “In Wildness is the preservation of the world.” (Walden, 1853.) We invite America to search again for the pristine ethos of its social sentiment. In its history with the American Indian alone can America find itself. In the Indian is the preservation of America.

I entirely agree!

3 David Yeagley // Nov 25, 2010 at 7:18 pm
Ilana, I think Jolie gets off on the same theme that many good folks do–the idea that the Indians were horribly mistreated. All I want to say is that these good folks need to realize that their remorse generally does Indians no good. In fact it tends to perpetuate the negative approach to life which so many Indian already suffer from.
I don’t mean to insult sincere disquietude which many white Americans feel about the past. Everyone appreciates sympathy and compassion.
The problem is, today, the liberal “compassion” has more to do with the liberal than the object of their compassion. The effect is on the liberal, not on the Indian.

There is nothing noble about betraying your own souls, following the way of those that tempted the Indian to become like those that chose to do their utmost to destroy the Indian nations.
Remember what Christ said when he was tempted.
Its a sad day when there are Indians running casino’s instead of staying true to their origins.
It reminds me of a wonderful aborigine that I met in Australia, he said he was tired of the aborigine’s complaining and wanting there cake and eat it.
He told them you can’t have it both ways. be aborigine and go back into the outback if you are true, no more alcohol, no more education, no more of the best that the white man gave you while you harp on about the worst.
Today, many of the Indians are no different to those that nearly destroyed them.
So who sold out?
Not all of them.
5 David Yeagley // Nov 26, 2010 at 10:04 am
Now there’s an argument against assimilation!
But, you know, that same argument was intimated in the early 1700′s by Cadwallader Colden. He said the whites had brought the worst vices ever to the Indians–which Indians never knew before. In 1727 & 1747 he published reports to the Governor of New York and New Jersey colonies.
But, it is becoming more and more known that the Pilgrims started out as a “commune,” or commonwealth, but then realized that individual initiative proved more productive for all. “Thank Capitalism on Thanksgiving Day,” by Julie Borowski is typical. I’ve known this angle a good while, from the political club I often attend, OCPAC.
6 ELIAKIM // Nov 26, 2010 at 10:25 am
Sometimes I wonder David what planet you live on. Ever read William Blake? Ever been to the proms? Ever read about how the English defended their land and nationhood against the Nazi’s? Yes, we won the war not the Americans that arrived for the tea party.
Why? Nationhood that is as strong as ever and increasing due to Islam. If it hadn’t been England and its courageous men who knows what the world would look like now.

David from what I have seen on your blog, I have supported more Indian causes then you have. I support every Indian cause that is shown to me and ensure that information is despatched around the world.
Do you have a youtube channel David that features all the Indian causes? What causes do you get involved in David apart from your own?
As I wrote on a forum this morning, objectives require a strategy otherwise people don’t go very far. Of course that is if a person has defined their objectives to begin with.

Wouldn’t today have been a good day to talk about this? Or give feedback about it?
On November 12, 2010, Canada became the 148th country to endorse the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). That leaves only the United States which is still reviewing its position on the declaration. The endorsement is a fairly important milestone for Indigenous Rights, even though declaration is considered to be “legally …

Or what about this?
Indigenous Sovereignty Week
Indigenous Sovereignty Week 2010: Indigenous resistance and revival
November 21-27, 2010
Events Organized in:
- Ottawa (October 27 – November 4)
- Victoria
- Vancouver
- Prince George
- Edmonton
- Winnipeg
- Sault Ste. Marie
- London
- Toronto
- Montreal
- Esgenoopetitj
…and others TBA
Called by Defenders of the Land last year, the first Indigenous Sovereignty Week was a huge success, taking place in 2 dozen cities, towns, and communities across Canada. Building on that success, and a year that has seen continuing land-based struggles to defend Indigenous lands and rights, and growing mobilization for Indigenous rights in cities, Defenders of the Land is calling for a second Indigenous Sovereignty Week to take place in communities across Canada from November 21-27.
Communities and groups should organize their own events according to their capacity; this may mean holding Indigenous Sovereignty Week at a different time. Defenders of the Land may be able to provide materials for presentation, and may be able to make available or facilitate contact with speakers.
We have in mind that this work will reach different audiences: Indigenous people living in communities, urban Indigenous people, and non-Indigenous people living in cities and towns. Events may take place on campuses, in community centres, in schools, or other locations.
The purpose of this week is to build local relationships between groups and individuals, disseminate ideas of Indigenism, and generally, contribute to building a cross-Canada movement for Indigenous rights, self-determination, and justice that is led by Indigenous communities but with a broad base of informed support.
There will be a range of events, including speaking events, cultural or arts events, and ceremony where appropriate. Speakers will include activists and leaders of struggles, elders, Indigenous intellectuals, and supporters.

So what did you inspire or compel for Indigenous Sovereignty Week David? What did you tell us about it?
Indigenous Sovereignty Week 2010: Indigenous resistance and revival
November 21-27, 2010
10 David Yeagley // Nov 26, 2010 at 11:06 am
It is you, I’m afraid, who are not living in reality, or not thinking realistically. No tribe in north America is capable of sovereignty. Sovereignty means you have to be able to defend yourself, with a standing army; you have to have your own economy; you have to produce goods, to care for your own, and to trade. The United Nations is known principally for destroying nations, for starting wars, and establishing tyranny (Communism).
Eliakim, I think you are a profound liberal, with perhaps personal morals, yes, but, no sense of reality. Or, a highly jaded one. Utopic dream worlds are deadly! They destroy, they don’t build.
The only hope of American Indians is a cooperation, which most tribes consent to deal with. Casinos, for instance, which alone have brought new resources to tribal government, are a classic example of compromise. Indian sovereignty, to a degree, is sacrificed for the financial arrangements. Is this part of your Indian “cause?” I don’t know. I am morally against gambling, but, the fact is, casinos alone have brought significant new financial resource to..less than half the tribes. (Many huge tribes, who are not located in prosperous demographic places, who need money the most, have no casinos at all, and would not profit if they did have them.)
Learn what sovereignty really means. Then you will see that in no ultimate way can Indian tribes ever be sovereign again. Circumstances will never allow it.
Your position is Communist. Liberal. Anti-American. Do you realize that, politically?
11 David Yeagley // Nov 26, 2010 at 11:07 am
Now, I’m for all the sovereignty Indians can achieve. But that means economic independence, for starters. Then productivity. Then defense. Then the whole scheme breaks down.
You are contributing to the problem, not its solution.
12 Pamela K. // Nov 26, 2010 at 1:06 pm
David,
God has surely given you a heart for the burdens of your people. Just keep in mind the words of another David, who said, “They who sow in tears shall reap in joy and singing.” Psalm 126:5
“But refuse, shut your mind against and have nothing to do with trifling, ill-informed, unedifying, stupid controversies over ignorant questionings, for you know that they foster strife and breed quarrels.”
“…in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but utensils of wood and earthenware, some for honorable and noble use and some for menial and ignoble use. So, whoever cleanses himself from what is ignoble and unclean, who separates himself from contact with contaminating and corrupt influences, will then himself be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for every good work.”
-II Timothy Chapter 2
13 David Yeagley // Nov 26, 2010 at 2:36 pm
What about Titus 1:10-14? How readest thou? I personally think all of our natural “divisions” down here on earth have mostly to do with communication opportunities. I think perhaps that is the purpose behind the nations. Man united, in his fallen state, is more than abject.
14 Thrasymachus // Nov 26, 2010 at 4:16 pm
“Man united, in his fallen state, is more than abject.”
———————————————
Yes. Man united in his fallen state is in Rebellion against God and is ruled by the Evil One.
“And the LORD said , Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do : and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.” Genesis 11:6
As I read it, the text suggests that nothing evil will be restrained from they, which they have imagined to do; that is, they will find the power to rebel against God’s Authority and Rule to the fullest possible extent.
15 Pamela K. // Nov 26, 2010 at 5:13 pm
In reference to Titus 1:10-14 St. Paul was speaking here of the unorganized church in Crete. If you read the next chapter, you see how he further admonishes the believers in Crete to be temperate and sensible. self-controlled, and sound in faith, but above all, sound in love. He also reminds believers of how it is the grace of God, not our own righteous works, that trains us to reject and renounce all ungodliness and worldly desires, to live discreet, and devout lives.
We, all of us believers, are currently witnessing a definite increase of lawlessness. At the same time, there has also been a definite increase of righteousness. I personally believe what we are seeing relates to the parable Jesus told about the wheat and the tears.. The farmer planted his wheat, but in the night, the enemy came and planted tears (weeds) among the wheat. When the workers came to the field they asked the farmer whether they should try and pull up the tears but the farmer told them no because the weeds resembled the wheat and trying to pull the weeds out could damage the wheat. The farmer told them to wait until the harvest. This will be the final harvest when God sends His angels to forever separate the wheat from the tears,His children (the wheat) will be with Him forever in eternal glory,while the tears (the rebellious and the wicked) will be thrown into the lake of fire prepared for the devil and his angels.
16 Thrasymachus // Nov 26, 2010 at 5:28 pm
Yes, what you say is entirely true, Pamela. I mean to say that I believe the very same thing.
Ever since God cast Lucifer and the Fallen Angels out of Heaven, these powers have been trying to set up a kingdom on Earth, under Satan’s rule. This is why, I believe, God ordained the nations. With humanity divided in this way the force of evil cannot have full sway in the world.
Therefore, the plan for a one-world governmental and economic system would facilitate — indeed make possible — the rule of Anti-Christ. This is why Liberal dreams of a one-world state are rebellious. At the Tower of Babel, God separated the peoples into different nations, with different culture, and even different religions (Hinduism, Buddhism, etc). Many Hindus, for example, and some Buddhists too, believe that Jesus was God made flesh.
The point here is that a political system, such as Liberalism, and a religious system, such as Islam, that attempts to bring about absolute world unity is following Satan. Only when the Prince of Peace returns will the world be united under God.
17 Thrasymachus // Nov 26, 2010 at 5:30 pm
Correction: I should say that many Buddhists believe that Jesus was himself an Enlightened One. Hindus, however, may regard Jesus as an incarnation of God.
18 Thrasymachus // Nov 26, 2010 at 6:03 pm
Remember, the words “bandied about” by Liberals so commonly today that “We are all one people” / “We are all God’s children” are a sign of the nearness of the coming of Anti-Christ. These are half-truths that are far more dangerous than any simple lie could ever be.
19 David Yeagley // Nov 26, 2010 at 6:17 pm
What about the Jewish bit in the letter to Titus? Paul almost sounds liberal. Like, don’t let a Jew go around knocking the Cretens. He’s not a good Christian if he does that.
We know there was a large Jewish population on Crete. That’s why there were churches developing there. But they were all Jewish people. Sound like Paul is telling them no one is to knock the barbarians as inferior just because…they were? No Jew (Jewish Christian) was to think himself better.
On the other hand, that doesn’t mean mixing and intermarrying. To preserve a race is such an obvious procedure…
20 Thrasymachus // Nov 26, 2010 at 6:51 pm
It is actually a very striking Scripture in Titus:
“10 For there are many who are insubordinate, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision party. 11 They must be silenced, since they are upsetting whole families by teaching for shameful gain what they ought not to teach. 12 One of the Cretans, [1] a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.” [2] 13 This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith, 14 not devoting themselves to Jewish myths and the commands of people who turn away from the truth.”
Obviously, we would need much information on the cultural circumstances directly involved to get the full sense of the original. After all, the admonition is for the sake of Titus himself.
21 Pamela K. // Nov 26, 2010 at 6:53 pm
Paul’s message to the unruly Cretans, both Gentile and Jewish believers, was to get right with the Lord, to live blamelessly before Him.
Evident in this is that Jews and Gentiles alike are unrighteous sinners in need of salvation. In the person of Jesus Christ is revealed the perfect righteousness. Through Christ’s death and resurrection, the provision has been made for men and women to obtain His Righteousness through their faith in Him. St. Paul’s entire mission was based on his firm belief that all men, regardless of race or ethnicity, are lost without Christ. He was not ashamed of the Gospel and was determined to make Christ known to people everywhere.
As far as the continuing debate over the importance of nationhood, Jews and Samaritans thoroughly disliked and distrusted each other. And yet, humble Jesus came to the outskirts of a Samaritan village called Sychar to rest beside a well. And while he rested there, He was waiting for someone. He was looking for that one lowly Samaritan woman, someone ostracized in her own village for being an adulteress, to announce for the first time to the entire world that He was The Messiah.
God is calling His children from every nation on this earth. He wants them to come together to worship Him in spirit and in truth.
“Come now, and let us reason together, says the Lord. Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be like wool.”
Isaiah 1:18
22 Thrasymachus // Nov 26, 2010 at 7:15 pm
There is no place in the Scriptures that says that God has done away with the nations.
Jesus also told another woman to “get lost.” She was not “of the lost sheep of the House of Israel.”
A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession.”
Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, “Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to their dogs.”
“Yes, Lord,” she said, “but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.”
Then Jesus answered, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
– Matthew 15: 22 – 29
Only AFTER this Canaanite woman acknowledge the superiority God granted to the Children of Israel to her own race and nation was her prayer heard an answered.
23 Thrasymachus // Nov 26, 2010 at 7:20 pm
Any human being may be saved; but God has not stated that the nations are dissolved. Indeed, the Scriptures state that the nations will still exist when Jesus returns.
Multiculturalism is of the Devil. Modern Christians are in a state of deception and apostasy on this particular question.
Why would God create different races and bring different nations and cultures into being, if he wanted fallen man to unify them through disolving national boundaries and inter-marriage?
Daniel Chapter 2 says that intermarriage of the strong and weak nations, symbolize by mixing iron with miry clay will bring the WRATH of God on the Earth. God will destroy that multicultural empire Himself and set up His holy Kingdom.
24 Thrasymachus // Nov 26, 2010 at 7:24 pm
Dr. Martin Luther King was filled with the spirit of Satan, not of God — that is, if he was not acting on his own merely human power.
There is nothing in the Gospels about the Jews inter-marrying with the Samaritans. Jesus teaches love of other human beings and compassion for them to be sure. However, He does not go so far as to say that they are to inter-marry and become “one people.”
25 Thrasymachus // Nov 26, 2010 at 7:27 pm
In the culture of the Middle East, to call a person a “dog” is just about the lowest insult imaginable. This matter came to light during the Saddam Hussein trial, where Hussein called his enemies “dogs.” Muslims, for example, are allowed to keep pet cats, but dogs are “unclean” in their culture.
26 Thrasymachus // Nov 26, 2010 at 7:40 pm
Some biographers believe that the primary reason that Frederic Chopin did not marry and have children because he was in exile from his native Poland. He insisted on having a Polish wife and on raising his children in a Polish home. He was a strong Polish nationalist.
27 Thrasymachus // Nov 26, 2010 at 7:43 pm
The only possible way for the Anti-Christ to rule the world is through a multicultural world state. Liberalism is blazing the trail to enable that to come about. The end time events will be about the religion of multiculturalism, which will have replaced authentic Christianity.
28 Thrasymachus // Nov 26, 2010 at 7:47 pm
“The end time events will be about the religion of multiculturalism, which will have replaced authentic Christianity.”
Let me add — even in the Christian churches and all the other world religions.
Multiculturalism will be the false religion of the Great Tribulation period.
29 Thrasymachus // Nov 26, 2010 at 7:48 pm
And, to be prophetic, I shall add this:
Because the nation of Israel will not participate in the multicultural religion of the Anti-Christ, the world will make war — or at least prepare to make war — on Israel.
30 Thrasymachus // Nov 26, 2010 at 8:07 pm
“One difficulty with this view ["Liberalism"] is that it provides no guidelines on how the boundaries of distinct political communities should be drawn. Indeed, it provides no explanation for why there should be distinct political communities at all. Why shouldn’t all societies that share liberal values merge into a single state, aiming ultimately to create a single world state?” — The Oxford Companion to Philosophy, Second Edition
31 Thrasymachus // Nov 26, 2010 at 8:11 pm
Since the Oxford Companion to Philosophy makes it clear that Liberalism is essentially anti-nationalism, then conservatism must be essentially nationalism! Hence the fact that modern “conservatives” call themselves “Neocons” and insist that their movement is in the wake of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement. Neocons tell us that traditional conservatives were wrong on race and that Martin King Jr. was right. Hence, “conservatives” today offer little challenge to Liberalism. This is why the Neocons fall all over themselves about a black NPR journalist who was worried about seeing Muslims sharing his airplane flight.
32 Thrasymachus // Nov 26, 2010 at 8:14 pm
And conservative American Indians are hated by so-called most Neocons because Indians still hold to the traditional (and biblical) understanding of nation — i.e., nation involves consanguinity — i.e., a nation shares a common ancestry and a historical culture.
33 Pamela K. // Nov 26, 2010 at 10:28 pm
“Some biographers believe that the primary reason that Frederic Chopin did not marry and have children because he was in exile from his native Poland.”
Or, perhaps it was his wild love affair with the tempestuous Bohemian writer, George Sand, a.k.a. Amantine Aurore Lucile Dupin, (later Baroness Dudevant ) that kept him from eventually tying the knot.
Her unreasonable jealousy drove that poor man to distraction and heartache,( not to mention even more poorer health than he was already in, as he suffered from tuberculosis) and finally out of her house!
34 calliegal235 // Nov 26, 2010 at 11:35 pm
Thrasymachus and Pamel K., you are certainly lively writers! I enjoy your comments here on Dr. Yeagley’s webpage.
Dr. Yeagley, I sent my sister-in-law a link to your article about Arabs not really Arabs. She thought it was an excellent article. BTW, she and her husband have raised three fine children, have always been actively involved in their church choir and as teachers at church, and my sister-in-law has published a few things, mostly related to training other women to teach other women. She and her husband are graduates of Occidental College. This is just to say, her opinion is generally very worthy! She also commented that you were an interesting guy….
Once again, I appreciate your words; their careful arrangement and meaning. Due to them, I begin to appreciate the light the American Indian is holding forth, and see a marvelous example I would otherwise miss!
It seems to me, that the real meaning of oneness eludes some people, and they have confused it with sameness. For to say, there is no Greek, nor Jew, no male, nor female in Christ, but they are one in Christ, does not mean these give up their differences, but rather those differences do not hinder their oneness in Christ, nor their devotion to Christ.
Perhaps, those who think one people would be so wonderful, would like it throughout the rest of creation. How about if we make all the apples one apple? All the orchids one orchid, etc? They just need to understand, that once we make all the potatos one potato, and they are wiped out by some disease, there won’t be any other potatos to replace those lost.
35 Thrasymachus // Nov 27, 2010 at 2:25 pm
Great post, calliegal235!
The Bible talks about being one in the Spirit and of the same Faith and members of the Body of Christ, viz., the Church; but obviously this is not about physical oneness. If that were the case, the Bible would be endorsing same-sex marriage — something it clearly does not do!

An obvious racist statement from an obviously racist and worldly man. But the worst of all are the wolves we might encounter are the ones which remain undetected hidden among the sheep.

Never stop upon your way.
Never trust a stranger-friend;
No one knows how it will end.

Gay, or charming never mind!

“The Indian is a kind of pre-Christian Christian, living with an almost incomprehensible innocence and non-competative spirit.”
Exactly! This is the distinct impression I’ve always gotten of Native Americans, that they were blessed by God with their wisdom and, ironically, that so many of them had a better knowledge of Christ’s nature than the savage foreigners claiming His Name.
