Those involved in the clean-up effort, led by the Standing Rock Sioux, say it could take weeks for private sanitation companies and volunteers to clear the expanse of abandoned tents, teepees, sleeping bags, blankets, canned food, supplies and just plain garbage littering the Oceti Sakowin camp.

These Sioux have surely come a long way from being noble Indian warriors to becoming pouters and defilers of Mother Earth!

Many Indians were superb warriors.

Noble... not so much.

The idea of the “noble savage” is a myth.

Indians could not afford cleanup and being environmentally sensitive. They lived in a feast or famine environment. Many dies of famine in the winter.

If your read actual accounts of most Indian tribes, life was hard, brutal, and short.
