How do we know O.J. was innocent? He was a former Buffalo Bill. Bills choke, they don’t slash.

I demand that every “Native American” tribe close its casinos immediately. These casinos cause innocent people to lose their rent money, the grocery money, the childbsupport money and much, much more.
I also call on the tribes to cease selling cancer-causing cigarettes forthwith.

Well, the Blackfoot Tribe is racist towards Americans who are of African Descent. Let’s change “Blackfoot Tribe” to “Somewhere Between Black And White Foot Tribe”. Or, just call them what they are.....Chinese.

As if getting rid of the memory of what the U.S. did will turn back the clock to give the indigenous people back their dignity. I’m so sure that most American Indians cower and sulk every time they hear the name of their sacred animal in reference to a city in New York.
Some people have too much time on their hands. I GOT IT! They just need jobs.

Mark Beasley, a member of the Navajo Nation... IIRC, the Navajos were not plains Indians and would have not had much opportunity to hunt Buffalo.

Beasley writes in his petition that "Buffalo is the name of the animal that was driven almost to extinction by the non-Native forces in order to annihilate and drive out my ancestors from the American landscape."
My recollection is that buffalo were targeted because they were providing direct competition for the cattle that homesteaders/ranchers were raising. And to lesser extents for sport, because they were considered nuisance animals that were causing collisions with trains runnning on the transcontinental railroad AND because their pelts were toasty warm ...
The truth is that the USA didn't need to resort to the indirect method of killing the buffalo "in order to annihilate and drive out" Indians, since the US Army was doing a fine job of that using direct methods.

Just a question, were there actually any buffalo anywhere near New York? And were there any Navaho near what is now called Buffalo? I thought that was Mohawk indian land.
