The native american tribes are still primarily kept from society, quality education, jobs, professional occupations, etc. When was the last time you heard of major gains being made to correct this ongoing problem. Why do we still have reservations??? Why does the subject of Native American Rights rarely, if ever, get mentioned. As far as I'm concerned, we have been an occupational force upon this soil for about 400+ years. We destroyed an awful lot of cultural/social groups way of life, sent in the missionaries to convert them to the "correct" religion, stole their land, raped the environment for short term goals, then have the audacity to call our group civilized, and the native americans culture barbaric. What a crock!!! Comments/views/opinions/critisism can be sent to: IHNP4!IHUXJ!AMRA or POST TO THIS NEWSGROUP PEACE & BEST WISHES From the ever curious mind of: Steve Aldrich (ihnp4!ihuxj!amra) P.S. I have my water cannon ready for any flames that come my way!! Also armed the HALON SYSTEM just in case it's needed!
