Michael Jackson 1958-2009

I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw Michael Jackson cast actual Native Americans for his video 'Black or White'. I appreciated not seeing a stereotypical image.

I felt that it helped alleviate the under representation for Native American's in Film and Television.

So today...finding out that this child star, icon, the King of Pop was dead it was surreal. Unreal was my first thought via Twitter.

Good, bad or indifferent, its a loss everyone is reflecting on.

Thank you for the music. Thank you for the videos. Rest In Peace.

As a proud Native American I wish to express my deepest sympathies to the Jackson Family and the children he left behind.
