    The scoop on Native burial grounds from a Native!

    I came across Tasina's Thursday Thirteen yesterday (which was a real treat to read, go check it out) and this bit really made my day!

    Despite what you have learned from really stupid horror movies, building your home on an old Indian burying ground will NOT cause poltergeists in your house. Although I don't follow any Native religions, I am QUITE certain that the afterlife of Native peoples does NOT involve sucking little blond wasicus (that means white people, for all you white people) into TV's. But don't mess with burying grounds - it's rude and you wouldn't want us to do it to you. Plus the NAGPRA folks will get you. Furthermore, despite what Mr. King would have us believe, burying your pet in an old Native burying ground will not cause the pet to come back to life and kill your family.

    Get that get the heck out of their cemeteries with your Ouija boards! And to stupid ghost hunters ask a Native about Native burial grounds do not consult charlatan ghost busters that claim Native spirits are popping out of anything, and stop perpetuating these ignorant myths.

    We have been saying it for years, and I was just so happy to see Tasina write about it.

    Love it!

    TasinaThanks for the link! I hate seeing that in movies. Like the spirits of Native people only exist to haunt rude suburban white people. It's just so silly.
