Club Penguin now has Headdresses

Hello all. I thought this would the best place to post this. I need some back-up, and some more info would be greatly appriciated to.

Club Penguin now has attempts at American Headdresses. So kids are running around on the internet sporting these mimic items with no idea what they mean. Wonderful. There's a post on my tumblr here, I'm trying to round up others to write to them so my email and links aren't alone. I'm a 17-year-old Australian, I only know what I've been linked to and a little extra research, it isn't much. Please help, even more so because these are kids.

First Native American to be canonized by Catholic Church

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kater…
 
I just want to know what more people think about this. For some reason that I can't place right now I have mixed feelings. I want to think more about this, but I want more opinions on it too. I also need more information besides the wiki-page. It could just be the wording or the way the article is written that is bugging me. I'll have to read more when I can concentrate.

I'm not Catholic, but I like the religion for the most part. It doesn't bother me that a Native American is being made a saint, it's more... I don't know. Can't think, need more sleep. -_-

Anyway, thanks for the input/opinions!

the Master of the Good Deeds

There lived the Master of the Good Deeds in the world. Master had a lot of Tools. Sometimes the thieves came and stole the Tools. And even if the Master could return the Tools, the Tools no longer work correctly. Then the master of throwing out these Tools and making new Tools. Theft of Tools was not a big problem for the Master. Sometimes thieves done something good stolen Tools wizard, and then if the Master returned back to the Tools it worked even better. The Tools could to train to cases that have been made with their assistance. In other words, if the thieves worked of skilfully with the Tools, the Master can do Good Deeds even better, when Tools returned.

Master was old. Master left his Tools for his Children and go out to the Great Mountain of Death.

Looking for some more information

I'm currently reading The World Without Us by Alan Weisman and came across this passage:
"All [America's late Pleistocene megafauna] existed, the fossil record shows, but not everyone agrees on what happened to them. One challenge to [paleoecologist Paul] Martin's theory [that early human settlers in the Americas pushed the megafauna numbers to extinction] questions whether Clovis people were actually the first humans to enter the New World. Among the objectors are Native Americans wary of any suggestion that they immigrated, which would undermine their indigenous status; they denounce the idea that their origins trace to a Bering land bridge as an attack on their faith."


He then goes on to describe some archaeological challenges to Clovis First theory as well. But the above passage caught my attention and while I hope that the author is trying to depict accurately cultural responses to predominantly white attempts to frame origins, the language he uses troubles me.

The book, while having an extensive bibliography, is not well foot- or end-noted. So I am unsure what sources Weisman is drawing his information from. I did an online search of the most predominant articles on challenges to Clovis First theory, but most of the argument is framed from a paleontological / archaeological / genome mapping perspective.

I am curious if anyone can recommend articles or books that voice the above, quoted challenge?

Thanks in advance and I hope this post is appropriate here.
