Top BIA official resigns to take LDS Church post

Just ran across this this morning during my usual wanderings across the wilds of the Internet. It seems that a member of the Pawnee nation has resigned his post in the Bureau of Indian Affairs to take a position in the Mormon Church.

WHAT!!!!!!???

I thought I had seen sellouts before but this is over the top. Few groups in the modern era are more insulting to Native people than the Mormons. Their manufactured religion (OK, OK all religion is manufactured) and less-than-factually based visions of American History are a fecal log in the punchbowl of Native culture. Now we are faced with this? What the hell is next? Is Jesse Jackson going to join the Klan?
