"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.
