Natives protest Lewis and Clark Expedition
Lakota, Ponca, Kiowa and Dine' began and continue protests to stop Lewis and Clark Expedition on Missouri River
"Once again they come with a lie and tell our leaders they seek the truth and desire to 'commemorate' not 'celebrate.' Once again they want us to throw open the doors of our Nations, to eat, to smoke and once more listen to the lie that their victories and our deaths were inevitable, long past and not worth remembering. But this time there are some Indian people who remember their ancestors suffering." http://www.stoplewisandclark.org

Didn't Lewis & Clark have muskets for this kind of problem...

They could be a part of the greatest nation and idea to grace this planet, and they still choose to complain. If a native american were to wish to go to college, start a company, ect, they would have a wealth of government resources to help them.
I mean it's pretty stupid. Indian tribed killed each other for land all over this nation, before Europeans came over.

How is it that my family has been in this country for many generations going back to the 1600s and yet the MSM will not consider me a native of this land.

Two hundred years ago an imperial power sent a group of spies into our lands as a prelude to conquest and the dispossession of the rightful owners.
Well! Welcome to the human race!
What people group hasn't been conquered, invaded, and dispossessed over the millennia?
This kind of ignorant tripe doesn't get laughed out of existence only because modern education stinks!

Looking for some more free hand-outs, eh?
Guess what you've gotten up to this point isn't enough. I smell a money-grab here. Too bad Bubba isn't still in the WH so you could get an apology and reparations!

Frankly, I'm still pretty hacked about the Norman conquest.
Oh, and the Roman conquest, too.
Arrgh! And the damn Vikings and Saxons.
Let's see ... the Danes ... I forgot about the Danes...

Welcome to FR. Since 9-28-04.
I'm somewhat of a Lewis and Clark fan so thanks for the post. I have a trip planned to Fort Clatsop in January. Do you have any thoughts on the re-enactment of the Corps of Discovery?

No offense but you got all your damn gambling casino's don't you. Grow up, you have terrorist attacking now. Instead of crying about what happened before any of us we're even born. Why don't you defend your land now against them? How about coming back to the real world! Signed: The Lone Ranger
