Yes, I saw them change it and put cowboys on it. It upsets me to see it, since like I said, that's like making a shirt with the KKK on it and saying "Southern Comfort." The whole point is to remind people of native identity instead of buying into the same propaganda and forgetting whose homeland this really is, and that applies to other people they declare war on to take their oil too.<br />Colleen Lloyd Thanks for the acknowledgement letting people know I created the Homeland Security Fighting Terrorism Since 1492 T shirt, I bet it’s Mary at Shops at the Coop or my friends at Postal Annex who made sure you got the real thing, there are so many ripoffs I can’t even find my own site practically. http://www.westwindworld.com.

It features a picture of some armed Apaches, including the famous Geronimo, and reads: "Homeland Security. Fighting Terrorism Since 1492." Makes a little more sense than the Rebel version, if you ask me. The one on “Fighting Terrorism” is a rip-off of a T-shirt developed by a Choctaw woman, known to a friend of ours in Nashville.

Very meta. In keeping with my earlier tattoo comment, I think it would be fantastic to get a tattoo of the eagle with a tattoo. Very meta.
