IIRC, it was not suppressed until about the 1920's. Non-natives are generally not aware of this. Natives still are.Tom Hickeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454222098667643650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2761684730989137546.post-78675237356175089242016-05-17T07:46:52.631-04:002016-05-17T07:46:52.631-04:00Somewhere on my Kindle is a book on this subject. ...Somewhere on my Kindle is a book on this subject. It's a free sample and I have hundreds of them so I can't find it, or I have removed it, as I sometimes do. You can't buy every good book you come across, and I have loads lined up to read. <br /><br />Anyway, there is apparently handwritten accounts of guys who hunted down native Americans for sport. One guys chased a load of women and children into some bushes and shot them all. One little boy ran from the bush and the guy went after him on his horse and he shot him in the back. He was very pleased with himself and logged down the details in his diary. <br /><br />It's hard to get used to how cruel some people can be. When I was a young any mainstream films that that I watched which would show this kind of cruelty could depress me for weeks afterwards.

And the land that was stolen is still "owned" by the two-party government that controls Washington DC, so it remains possible to fix some of the wrongs. It's an uphill battle though given the legal system and politics.Ryan Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815033054435303399noreply@blogger.com
