Where can I find PNG t-shirts ? It would be even better if they were band shirts. We have a trip planned to Disney in a few weeks and I would love to show my support while there. I’m not going to lie, I would never wear them again, but it would make me happy to wear it EVERYDAY while there.

I didn't read this properly. This is a Crosby fan wanting to prove a point to a giant corporations in support of the $5 Indian nation. Bravo sir....... But errra..... Didn't you pay said corporation to enter their establishment? And you want to 'protest' by wearing PN-G apparel? That Sir, seems to be hustling backward.........

Albert was smart... Avoided tolls and ferries

If UofH doesn't have players transfer they might start off preseason top 10 next season or better. They were without their best 2 players and went that far. Ppl forget about that.

They did get away with it. You can’t and won’t get anything against Disney. People line up to pay $100 must to get in the gate. A family of 4 who stay all day, eating a couple of meals, will probably cost $2,000. What do you suggest as a blowback against them? Maybe 25 people from this area go somewhere else and they move 5 minutes of operating expenses for the year? They wanted to wash their hands to show that they are woke. They are entitled and they did so. Nothing will change for them and probably nothing will change for PNG. Both sides have said their piece and hopefully it is over.

Everybody knows it is wrong. It is sometimes easy to tolerate a transgression when it is “your team”.

And dirt roads!!! 😎

First thing I spotted was our Eagle! 😊

Oh people know where it is, but most are afraid of reading truth, doesn't fit the agenda. I remember you put something on here about it years ago in a highly popular thread, thread went quiet after you posted it. I knew why. 😁

Just put a $5 on the logo and everything will be fine.....lol It may be fashionable to play Indian now, but it was also trendy 125 years ago when people paid $5 apiece for falsified documents declaring them Native on the Dawes Rolls. These so-called five-dollar Indians paid government agents under the table in order to reap the benefits that came with having Indian blood. Mainly white men with an appetite for land, five-dollar Indians paid to register on the Dawes Rolls, earning fraudulent enrollment in tribes along with benefits inherited by generations to come. “These were opportunistic white men who wanted access to land or food rations,” said Gregory Smithers, associate professor of history at Virginia Commonwealth University. “These were people who were more than happy to exploit the Dawes Commission—and government agents, for $5, were willing to turn a blind eye to the graft and corruption.” The Dawes Commission, established in 1893 to enforce the General Allotment Act of 1887 (or the Dawes Act), was charged with convincing tribes to cede their land to the United States and divide remaining land into individual allotments. The commission also required Indians to claim membership in only one tribe and register on the Dawes Rolls, what the government meant to be a definitive record of individuals with Indian blood. The Curtis Act, passed in 1898, targeted the Five Civilized Tribes (Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek and Seminole), forcing them to accept allotments and register on the Dawes Rolls. The two acts—which came during a “period of murky social context” after the Civil War when white and black men were intermarrying with Native American women, aimed to help the government keep track of “real” Indians while accelerating efforts to assimilate Indian people into white culture, Smithers said. “By 1865, African Americans and white Americans were moving into the Midwest, into the Indian and Oklahoma territories, all vying for some patch of land they could call their own and live out their Jeffersonian view of independence,” he said. “The federal government poured a lot of effort and energy into the Dawes Commission, but at the same time it was very hard for both Native and American governments to keep track of who was who.” The Dawes Commission set up tents in Indian Territory, said Bill Welge, director emeritus of the Oklahoma Historical Society’s Office of American Indian Culture and Preservation. There, field clerks scoured written records, took oral testimony and generated enrollment cards for individuals determined to have Indian blood. That included authentic Indians, Welge said. But it also included lots of people with questionable heritage. “Commissioners took advantage of their positions and enrolled people who had very minimal or questionable connections to the tribes,” he said. “They were not adverse to taking money under the table.” The implications of such shady practices are enormous now, Smithers said. Five-dollar Indians passed their unearned benefits to heirs who still lay claim to tribal citizenship and associated privileges. “Now we have people who are white but who can trace their names back to the rolls used by tribal nations to ascertain who has rights as citizens,” he said. “That means we have white people who have the ability to vote at large; it means political rights; it means the potential to influence tribal policy on a whole range of issues; it means people have access to health care, education and employment. The implications are quite profound for people who got away with fraud.” On the flip side, while non-Natives paid to play Indian, many authentic Indians who didn’t trust the government chose not to register with the Dawes Rolls at all, said Gene Norris, a genealogist at the Cherokee National Historical Society. That means people with legitimate claims to tribal enrollment and the benefits are now excluded. “Native Americans are the only racial group defined by blood,” Norris said. “Even that was arbitrary. In the 1890s, siblings who talked to different commissioners emerged with different blood quantum. Because they didn’t apply together, some of them have different blood degrees.” In short, the Dawes Rolls forever changed the way the federal government defined Indians—and, in many cases, the way Indians still define themselves. In 1900, one woman registered on the rolls with 1/256 Cherokee blood, Norris said. Now, some enrolled members of the Cherokee Nation have as little as 1/8,196 Indian blood. The Dawes Rolls—even now—are a murky and “very inaccurate” gauge of Indian citizenship, he said. In the 2000 Census, the number of people claiming Cherokee ancestry was three times that of official tribal enrollment. “That’s what happens when the federal government established the rules, not the Natives,” he said. Smithers has no estimate of the number of people who fraudulently registered on the Dawes Rolls—or who lay false claim to Indian citizenship now. But five-dollar Indians did not represent an isolated case of appropriation. “What we had was simply white people claiming to be Indian,” he said. “They were early wannabes, just like we have today. Five-dollar Indian is just another term for that.”

OUR Celtics sir…

Dang google maps! Lmao!

One of those is already going to happen. I’ll let you guess.

The same lawyers that proved the Russia Russia Hoax was BS, Both impeachments we’re BS, Hunter’s laptop was Authentic an Joe Biden is compromised will also prove the 2020 election was a BS election an Trump won. Your a Typical Stand for Nothing Ignorant Idiot who likes to attack the messenger instead of attacking the message an proving the message wrong. Move on troll.

If you look hard enough, you can find something offensive about every human mascot. Pirates and Buccaneers were swashbuckling murderers and rapists. The Raider archetype draws on age-old bands of thieves and bandits that robbed stagecoaches and murdered travelers on the coachroads. The Minnesota Vikings appropriate Scandinavian history and culture. The Notre Dame Fightin’ Irish and the ULL Ragin’ Cajuns elevate stereotypically drunk, stubborn and aggressive depictions of Cajun and Irish Americans. Do we let that take the fun out of everything? And more to the point, when did culture become property? This country spent fifty years believing that the hallmark of diversity was cultural exchange. That was supposed to make our country stronger. Now, seemingly overnight, any person who’s not a product of a particular culture adopting customs or practices of that culture is stealing it? What happened to imitation being the highest form of flattery? The bottom line with PN-G is, we adopted the Indian mascot because Attakapa and Karankawa Indians were the original inhabitants of Port Neches. Generations of local residents have found Indian artifacts in their backyards, and the presence of Indian burial mounds in Port Neches is well documented. Most of Southeast Texas would have no earthly idea Indians ever lived here were it not for the constant reminder that PN-G is. When the first generation of the original Port Neches High School’s students made that decision in recognition of the town’s history back in 1925, it was, ironically enough, arguably a progressive decision, by the standards of the day. This happened in an era when most of America was reviled by anything Indian. Most white people were actively trying to stamp out evidence the Indians ever inhabited America, but the people in Port Neches weren’t. At roughly the same time PNHS adopted the Indian mascot, my quarter-Cherokee great grandfather was losing the family blacksmithing practice he’d inherited from his white father because the people of Wood County, Texas, didn’t want to do business with an Indian blacksmith. My three-times great grandmother, a full blooded Cherokee woman who died a few years earlier, spent the last decade or so of her life terrified the government was going to take the family farm, round her up and send her to Indian Territory, all because my white three-times great grandfather died before she did and wasn’t around to stop them anymore. Based on the documentation we have, the probable inference is that my four- and/or five-times great grandparents walked the Trail of Tears. My eighth-Cherokee grandfather, who could pass for white, never spoke a word of his heritage publicly after he moved to Orange County, for fear of suffering the same employment troubles his father did. The hardest thing for me to reconcile in elementary school was why my grandparents were so quiet about our Cherokee lineage, when my peers thought it was pretty cool. Looking back today, I know my experience was different than theirs because anything Indian was cool at PN-G, in an era when it wasn’t anywhere else in America. Now, that striking contrast between cultural attitudes at PN-G and in the country at large, which has been inculcated for generations and was so progressive for its day, is suddenly racist? We’re supposed to give up that legacy because political winds shifted and social media makes it easy for internet low-lifes who’ve never stepped foot in Mid-County to harass elementary, middle and high school kids on Twitter? I don’t think so. In so many ways, this community has emulated exactly what the world knows American Indians to be: proud people, who produced strong warriors, that fought for decades to preserve their homes, their families and their way of life, against hopelessly overwhelming odds. I have watched this town demonstrate that same enduring spirit time and time again. Through hurricanes, explosions, cyber attacks, and national crusades against the cross in our park, we have always stood firm. This time is no different. We have never given in to all those things before, and we’re damn sure not about to give in to naked attempts to humiliate and intimidate our children now. I ran a poll in the Port Neches neighborhood watch group, which has thousands of current Mid-County residents in it, last weekend. Hundreds of responses poured in. The vast majority - 87% - said PN-G should keep all of its traditions exactly as they are. The community is as united about this as it’s ever been about anything. The Beaumont Enterprise falsely claimed the community protested the mascot in a headline because 17 people, many of whom don’t even live in PN-G, put on a protest outside a training for school board members. The reality is that the community demonstrates its actual sentiment when 8,000 purple-clad PN-G fans show up in the stadium five times a year. The best way that we can honor the Indian spirit we have revered and emulated for so many generations, is to stand up for our beliefs, our values, our traditions, our home and our kids, the same way they fought valiantly to do for nearly all of the nineteenth century. I can think of no better way to honor my own ancestors, and nothing else they’d prefer that I do. We know our history, we respect our history, and we live our history - if we didn’t, we never would have been the PN-G Indians to begin with. This community is no stranger to great challenges. Every time, it has met them with perspicacious, persevering pride, and firm, fervent faith. And every time, this community has emerged victorious. It’s who we are, and what we speak to every time we say, we are PN-G. This time will be no different. Always be Faithful.

@BMTSoulja1 rocket man. Thoughts? My Celtics whipping arse currently.

Jabari is the “safest” top pick if you look at it from that perspective. He will go first if a couple of teams win the lotto. With most I think it is still Chet.

I agree completely. Their other incoming freshman, Jarace Walker from IMG, played for Will Barton’s team in our league the last three summers. He’s a great kid with a ton of talent and is the top ranked PF in the country. I think he’s also the highest ranked recruit for the Coogs in a decade. All that said I like Arceneaux better. Especially in what Sampson does.

Cmon man.

Agreed. Kelvin has always been great. What he’s done there is spectacular.

They my favorite squad in-state since they getting a local kid and potentially another one next year. Arceneaux fits them to the T.

If UofH doesn’t transfer any out and the recruits coming in. I might be driving to lake Charles and put a nice future wager on them to win it all. Sampson has mastered his craft… hes about to get over that hump and win it all I feel.

I agree that he's the best coach in the SEC. I don't think it's all that close.

Yeah this game is all about over now… I really am starting to believe i will be right.

I was out on him when he went into the "no one believed in us" rant after the last game. It drives me nuts when false narratives are used for motivation. I know Jordan did it and that was annoying, too.

Idk much about him. I will say, I watched Westbury play Pasadena Memorial last season, and they should have beaten Memorial by at least double digits, but I thought their offense was poorly schemed. They just kept running the ball up the middle when they had a better time getting to the perimeter. So they kept Memorial in the game, and eventually allowed a long run for TD, then a special teams TD, then a long pass, and lost the game. Westbury isn't totally devoid of talent, but I thought they could have been coached better. Take of that what you will.

Y’all have this WO-S Mustangs support in this fight!

Yep

Let’s not ignore this creepyness. There was widespread creepyness in all the swing states including Arizona to steal this election from the American people. Most secure election in U S History. Lol These are the facts in Georgia alone. Other swing states have similar issues. Where you at Cardinalbacker and InJussieWeTrust? VoterGA Provides Conclusive Evidence Showing Fulton County 2020 Election Results Were Electronically Manipulated — 524K Votes in Question ATLANTA, March 7, 2022 – VoterGA announced at a press conference today a 15-point analysis that documents clear, irrefutable evidence of how the November 2020 Fulton County election results were electronically manipulated. The analysis was based on a year-long study of ballot images conducted by an expert-laden volunteer research team. The ballot image research was made possible last year when the Georgia legislature passed SB202, which made ballot images public records. The ballot images were collected statewide by a VoterGA Open Records Request team. The 15-point analysis that can be verified through public ballot images at GAballots.com or other sites found the following problems in Fulton County: 1. 17,724 final certified Fulton County absentee votes have no ballot images, representing 13,303 extra Biden votes and 4,279 extra Trump votes — net 9,024 mail-in votes — that cannot be substantiated 2. All 374,128 in-person Fulton County ballot images from the original election count are missing and cannot be authenticated 3. 132,284 of the 148,318 mail-in ballot images are missing their authentication files and cannot be verified as legitimate votes 4. Only 16,034 mail-in ballot images had authentication files and those files (which should be generated automatically at the time of scanning) were added days after scanning 5. 4,000+ tabulator images have impossible duplicate time stamps 6. 104,994 image files in 1,096 batches have impossible duplicate time stamps 7. Images in 288 batches have backfilled time stamps out of scanning chronological order 8. All ballot batches were improperly forced to adjudication to facilitate tampering 9. 10 ballots were impossibly adjudicated in one minute by one user 10. 941 [image] files were backdated prior to adjudication 11. Same 12 tabulators closed 148 early voting polls masking identity of scanning tabulator 12. One tabulator serial# impossibly closed two polls in same overlapping times 13. One tabulator was never closed and may have added many illegitimate votes 14. 85 closing tapes for 12,024 Election Day ballots are unsigned or missing 15. All but two tabulator closing tapes for early voting are unsigned, representing 315,000 ballots; Georgia law requires closing tapes to be signed by a poll manager and 2 witnesses VoterGA emphasized that while one or two of these may be procedural issues, the electronic tampering found so far is not limited to Fulton. Co-founder Garland Favorito said: “In fairness to Fulton County, they did preserve enough of their ballot images to make some of our research possible. Other counties, like Cobb, destroyed most or all of their original November 2020 images despite federal and state law. This tampering and destruction is proof positive why Georgians cannot trust the 2020 election results. We desperately need an independent multi-county audit immediately to secure our elections before 2022 primaries.”

Complete Athlete is the best place to start, but I’ll check to see if the school is running any fundraisers. Welcome to the Indian Nation, CCRed. All Southeast Texas is welcome to join us for this fight.

No….at this point I would say this is Creepier. The FBI had sex tapes of Democrat Mayors sleeping with a Chinese Spy and kept them hidden, knew Eric Swalwell was sleeping with the Chinese Spy and kept it hidden, had Hunter Biden’s laptop and kept that hidden but leaked a dossier they KNEW was fake to the New York Times in an effort to take down Trump. Tell me again what’s creepy?

The Press conference to announce the finalists for the Willie Ray Smith football awards will be held on April 4, 2022 at the Elegante Hotel in Beaumont. It will be in the Fountainview Room at 6pm.

We’ve had our shares of success, to include a 1970 Class B state championship. No industry here, and not a large tax base but great people and beautiful country.
