MONDAY, APRIL 7, 2003 "Although on the surface, Lloyd Omdahl - noted North Dakota politician, legal professional, and columnist - may have admirable reasons for wanting a Native American billionaire, his column in March 31 Herald has some problematic features. First of all, as a Native American, I find this article offensive. It smacks of an ignorance on a level that the rest of America would hang their mouths open at, wondering where this fella came from. A closer look at Omdahl's examples of minority successes would reveal that, without fully assimilating into the white society, no minority person stands a chance. So, Lloyd Omdahl, if we Native Americans are supposed to bow down and sell out to the white male standards in this country, then I choose to keep my integrity." Get the Story:
