Savage Technique

WE HAVE OFTEN BEEN QUESTIONED AND OR INFORMED OF THE DISRESPECTFUL NATURE OF THE USE OF THE WORD SAVAGE AND THE AFFECTS THAT THE UTILIZATION OF SUCH A WORD IS HARMFUL TO THE ESTEEM AND SELF IMAGE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES. ALTHOUGH WE DO NOT FEEL THAT AN EXPLANATION IS IN ORDER FOR THOSE WHO HAVE CHOSEN THE PATH OF ASSIMILATION AND CIVILIZATION OVER RESISTANCE AND STRUGGLE FOR NOT ONLY THE PHYSICAL BUT SPIRITUAL AND CULTURAL SURVIVAL OF OUR PEOPLE, WE FEEL IT IS IMPORTANT THAT PEOPLE MAY BE INFORMED ON THE VERY LOGICAL REASONING OF THE WORD'S USE.
LET US START OFF BY STATING THAT EVEN THE USAGE OF A FOREIGN, COLONIAL, JUMBLED, AND UNORGANIZED LANGUAGE OF IMPERIALISM (ENGLISH) AS A FIRST LANGUAGE TO OUR MANY DIVERSE PEOPLES IS ALONE DEMEANING AND DISRESPECTFUL AND HARMFUL TO THE ESTEEM AND SELF IMAGE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES (IF THIS IS WHAT WE WISH TO CONTINUE TO CONSIDER OURSELVES).
LET US NOW OFFER YOU AN ETYMOLOGICAL HISTORY OF THE WORD SAVAGE : 'from Anglo-French salvage, savage, from Late Latin salvaticus, alteration of Latin silvaticus of the woods, wild, from silva wood, forest.'
NOW OF COURSE WE NOW UNDERSTAND THAT THE ILLEGALLY OCCUPYING COLONIAL POWER THAT IS NOW KNOWN AS THE united states of america MAY THINK BEING 'of the woods' AN EVIL THING, BUT WE OURSELVES UNDERSTAND THIS AS BEING A VERY NATURALLY CONNECTED WAY TO EXIST AND FOR THE MOST PART UP UNTIL THE ILLEGAL OCCUPATION OF LANDS THAT WE BELONGED TO; 'of the woods' WAS A VALUED AND RESPECTFUL WAY OF LIVING; A WAY OF LIVING THAT ALLOWED US TO EXIST IN RELATIVELY HEALTHY COMMUNITIES FOR QUITE SOME TIME. OF COURSE IF YOU ARE A MORE 'PROGRESSIVE' 'GOOD-INDIAN' MAYBE YOUR IDEALS FALL SOME WHERE CLOSER TO THE BELIEF THAT BEING UNCIVILIZED (QUITE LITERALLY 'un city living) WAS A NEGATIVE WAY TO EXIST. ACCORDING TO YOU ANYTHING SHORT OF ACHIEVING THE LEVEL OF SUCCESS THAT THE COLONIZER HAS DEFINED FOR AND OF US IS A FAILURE. WE, ON THE OTHER HAND, BELIEVE THAT TO NOT ACCEPT THE MAINSTREAM MODEL OF SUCCESS MAY BE A LITTLE MORE ALONG THE LINES OF WHAT OUR ANCESTORS FOUGHT AND DIED FOR OUR PEOPLE TO CONTINUE DOING. TO CONTINUE BEING INDIGENOUS, TO CONTINUE BEING OUR RESPECTIVE PEOPLES.
NOW LET US TAKE A LOOK AT THE CURRENT DEFINITION HOWEVER JUMBLED AND MISLEADING IT HAS BECOME DUE TO IT'S MANY UPDATES: SAVAGE: not domesticated or under human control : UNTAMED b : lacking the restraints normal to civilized human beings :
IN OUR OPINIONS IF YOU LOOK AT THESE DEFINITIONS LITERALLY THIS CAN BE CONSIDERED SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF IN THIS DAY AND AGE. TO NOT BE 'domesticated or under human control' NOW DOES THIS SOUND SOMETHING CLOSE TO AUTONOMY AND OR FREEDOM? WHAT ABOUT 'lacking the restraints normal to civilized human beings?' ARE THESE RESTRAINTS OF 'NORMAL CIVILIZED HUMAN BEING' THE SAME ONES THAT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE GENOCIDE OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLES OR EVEN THE WORLD ITSELF? TO NOT HAVE THESE VALUES EMBEDDED INTO MY GENETIC OR SPIRITUAL MAKE UP MAKES ME PROUD TO BE CONSIDERED SAVAGE (OR CONSIDER MYSELF SAVAGE).
THE WORD SAVAGE DID NOT START WITH A NEGATIVE CONNOTATION UNLESS YOU TAKE THE WORD OF THE SELF PROCLAIMED CIVILIZED AND CONSIDER BEING OF THE WOODS AND LIVING OFF AND WITH THE EARTH AS THE EARTH SOMETHING TO BE ASHAMED OF AND SOMETHING THAT IS NEGATIVE.
TERMINOLOGIES THAT THAT NEED TO BE LOOKED AT ARE NATIVE AMERICAN AND AMERICAN INDIAN. ARE WE AMERICANS? BETTER YET CAN WE CONSIDER OURSELVES 'SOVEREIGN NATIONS' WITH ALLEGIANCES TO A FOREIGN COLONIZING POWER SUCH AS AMERICA? DID OUR ANCESTORS WANT TO BECOME AMERICAN CITIZENS OR WAS IT IMPOSED AND OR FORCED THROUGH THE INDIAN CITIZENSHIP ACT OF 1924?THERE IS NO QUASI SOVEREIGN ONLY SOVEREIGN, AND TO ACCEPT THEIR CONTROL AND THEIR MEANS FORCES US TO BE 'DOMESTIC DEPENDANTS' AS THEY WOULD WISH US TO BE. IF YOU ARE TALKING ON EDUCATION IT IS TIME TO BECOME EDUCATED.
