When are the American Indians going to apologize for their actions.

Like what? Charging $19.95 for the Roast Beef buffet in the casino?

Oh say, like the attempt to massacre the Jamestown colony.

Back in the day, my family had lots of cattle and ranch hands killed and hunted by non-Indigenous-to-the-region Indians that would operate as rustlers and poachers, not because they were "thrown off their lands," but because they were common theives and stealing was easier than ranching.

They could start there.

Funniest thing I've heard all week. Thanks I needed that. Seriously though the Europeans were expanding their territory and the Indians were defending theirs. That's life. No apologies are necessary. Just about every group in the world has been through it in some form or another.

Read this book.

Two examples:

The illustration above shows an incident from the notorious kidnapping of Matilda Lockhart by the Comanches in 1838. The teenager was held for more than a year and severely abused; she died a few years after being returned to her family.

Josiah Wilbarger and a party of five others were riding near present-day Austin when they came under heavy attack. Wilbarger was scalped while still conscious and left for dead. He survived and lived for eleven years with his skull exposed.
