Welcome To My Web Page!

Hi! My name is Hawk. I'm a white lesbian/feminist woman working on my racist issues. I'm a big fan of Myke Johnson's, so I put her essay, "Wanting to be Indian: When Spiritual Teaching Turns Into Cultural Theft" on a web site so that her thoughts could be available to more people. I really feel she has a lot to say. Her work is copy-righted, so please keep this in mind and give proper credit to her is you decide to reproduce anything on this site. She's a very courageous woman who deserves all the credit she can get!
