"I never did hear the words Native Americans, American Indians, or First Nations in school. I was taught about the Civil War and Slavery, but never did the word Native American come out of my junior high school history teacher's mouth. He was the football coach of our team, the "Red Skins."
I began college right after my high school graduation and took the course, American History to 1877. The Department Chairman taught that course. Consequently, I became so upset at being made to read "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" by Dee Brown in that class, that I could not sleep for two nights.

"Wonderful U.S. and Canada!"
Custer's Pipeline & Genocide Denial
Genocide denial is part of the steel that drills the oil in "Custer's Pipeline," is part of what moves the pens making lying papers that are stealing and have stolen the promised sovereignty of American Indians, and what makes the modern day Custers feel joy when they succeed and rage when they fail.
Historic meeting ends on pessimistic note
Determining the pipeline's effects on cultural places appeared to have been a cursory and simplistic process.

At approximately 10:12 p.m. last Tuesday MSNBC covered Native American issues after the presidential debate. "It's high time we started covering these critical concerns affecting American Indians that are in our own back yard at least as much as we cover what happens across the ocean in other countries," one MSNBC commentator said. I couldn't believe my ears as to what they said next.
