Heres a wild fact for you, by the year 1600, 90% of the population of Indians had died of disease transmitted (accidentally) by Europeans.

Heres another fact for you. Indians didn't live in harmony with nature. They drove the slower reproducing animals into extinction.

That's arguably true for all of humanity. By the way, the Buffalo herds' did'nt go away because the Indians' overhunted the herds. That was because of the market for Buffalo hides' back east.

(True)
I have stood atop Mato Paha while the ceromonies went on in the valley below.
I respected the belief and wishes and turned my back to the valley to avoid viewing them.
I left offerings.
Pretty awesome , peaceful feeling when you consider you are standing on history itself.

(True...and an awesome experience)
I have had the vision of the white buffalo. Very vivid that I have ingrained in my memory to the point of the vapor from the nose, the splashing of the water in the shallow stream by the hooves, etc.

(Extreme twist)
I am waiting the vision of a white Harley, the mark of the lightening scar and the hail stones. At this time I will mount up, cover my steed and my face with dust, place a small stone behind my ear, hope the Game Warden doesn`t nail me for the hawk feather...............and ride into history.......if I don`t get sidetracked at the first biker bar.
From Texas to no Taxes in no time at all.

Wow. Only on the intardnet can one find a thread with a buncha white guys grousing about ungrateful Native Americans.

Lest we forget, this move to declare independence from the United States is simply an attempt to return to that status which was theirs until well into the twentieth century....that of a nation within a nation, bereft of any rights as citizens.

More power to them. Why should we expect them to kiss and make up?

Considering what was done to the Indian Tribes who were quite content before the arrival of "civilization" it's a small reparation.

Hell.....the Black Hills were stolen for their Gold.

Ain't "Civilization" great! I didn't know Kool-Aid was available at that time.

It's what's best for you!

we never did anything to the indians that they didn't already do to each other... we just did it better.

Ahhh, another thread with a bunch of hypocritical self-righteous indignation, each one trying to be the big man with the correct posture.

Jackal1 · « **Reply #43 on:** December 23, 2007, 11:49:20 AM »

In all seriousness, it is going to be very interesting to keep track of.
At the very least I suspect some pretty significant changes, negotiations and concessions will be made.
If agreements are not met and enough backing from the people, not only of the Lakota Nation, but from others and it is pushed enough.................who knows.
Pretty interesting all in all.

Considering we fought for 4 years to keep the South from doing the same
thing, they might reconsider.
