   ALoha-ha-ha! Haaaahahhahhaaa - 'tis I, Smokey Rain. Ya'all are missing the   
   point by getting caught up in semantics, but don't worry I forgive you! I mean   
   no disrespect, but come on! Haa ahhaha. I AM a member of A.I.M. of MI(founding   
   member). The native    
   elders began calling me Rainbow before this clip you saw on C-SPAN and CNN,   
   etc. However, to be historically accurate, I created and proclaimed the   
   Declaration of Interdependence, declaring one tribe for all people first at   
   the Detroit Indian Center (   
   Indian Health Center) at the Wednesday night social, a few months before the   
   footage you saw was shot. This of course was many moons ago. However, I just   
   saw the post and am fully available for discussion. I just put up my first   
   website and am creating a    
   Proclamation of Laughter for the City of Cottonwood, AZ. I do like joking   
   around a lot, yet I am not kidding about all this...it is a way to bring us   
   together. It's that simple.
