OP - thanks for your post. It is good to be reminded of this injustice so we can learn from it.

It's dang near 2012, get over it. If you don't want to live in this country without somebody giving you a hand out go somewhere else. Bitching about this is the same as the stupid lawsuits from 2011 post. People need to take some responsibility for them selves and quit crying and get to work for their fair share. No matter what color they are.

Maybe you should quit crying? Havent really seen anyone cry till you came along with your "get over it" crap.

I was crying also, just recognize my crocodile shoe tears.

Wounded Knee was a war crime. Call me a bleeding heart, but Native Americans were regularly discriminated against. The US Government took Indian children and prevented them from speaking their native languages. Hemmed the people into reservations and basically broke most every treaty they signed. They way Native Americans were treated is a stain on our national honor. Yet, they volunteered in droves in World War I, World War II, and Viet Nam to fight for America. Nobody gave a damn about them until the casinos came around and the blood suckers and parasites emerged to con and screw the Tribes.

And FYI Whitey, I have represented several Lakota Souix families for wrecks. One little old lady, who wouldn't speak much gave me a Souix name. I don't know how to spell it correctly, but transliterated it was oh-ga meesue chepa. It means "fat bear.".

You should be honored. Grandmother not only called you 'Fat Bear' (Cepe-Meto), she refered to you as Misu- 'Little Brother'.
