Airek I didn't know that you had native blood in you. Do you have enough to get help from ther government?
It is sad that a nation of people lost everything because they didn't have the means or the understanding to defend themselves and their land.
It's easy to blame them for their own losses now, it's not right to, but it's easy.
However, command and conquer is an age old strategy for cultural advancement.
I'm surprised that Native Americans aren't more terriorial than they are. A lot of the land that many of us have homes on was probably owned or inhabited by Native Americans at one time or another.
