Palin, Republicans, NA's and Cultural Literacy

I paused today to Google Palin with some keywords to see what was being said about her and Native issues. The last time I did this was a bit horrifying. There was a lot of "Her husband is Native, so she must support Native issues" kind of information, a flash-back to her gubernatorial campaign here in Alaska.

I will be the first to admit that I am Culturally Illiterate when it comes to Native Alaskans. Do you know when to use Eskimo and/or Youp'ik to describe a Alaska Native in a culturally healthy fashion? Well fasten your seat belt.
