My great-grandmother was forced into a boarding school in Canada when she was a child. Forbidden from speaking her language, and beaten if she did etc... wasn't pretty...

Mine was lucky enough to avoid the boarding school but was chased by some men who caught and killed a schoolmate of hers to take advantage of California's bounty on Indians. Women were worth more, of course, since they could breed. To think that only a hundred years separated that, and the boarding school situation was like that all the way into the 1960's.

But now that 'we' have money to throw around, we are a threat apparently.

Although, I have to say that I really hate how the leftist groups (like AIM etc...) have really turned indians into a solid democrat voting block....

We need to change that, but it won't be easy...
