K.Go Back To His Old Tricks

We knew it wouldn't be long before Kevin Gover, the former dictator of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, started causing trouble. After recognizing hundreds of illegal tribes and pilfering the Indian trust during the Clinton administration, he's taken his reign of terror to the National Museum of the American Indian.

So what's his latest crime against humanity? He's promoting an exhibit at the George Gustav Heye Center in New York City that includes the works of someone of Tejano/Italian ancestry. That's not even a real tribe -- We couldn't find it on the list!

"We are pleased to present this exciting collaboration with the Heard Museum," K.Go said in a press release. "The artists use video, painting, sculpture, photography and other media to present diverse and challenging interpretations of what it means to be indigenous today."

Can we ever trust you again K.Go? Shame!

But if you are brave enough to take this assault, "Remix: New Modernities in a Post Indian World," closes on September 21 -- four years to the day of the opening of the NMAI in Washington, D.C.
