Their traditional economy consists of hunting, gathering, high-stakes bingo and extortion of the federal government.
“It’s long past time for them to stop being First Peoples and start being un-hyphenated Americans.”
They are at best Second Peoples. Probably more like third or fourth.
**It’s the Crazy Horse monument that is on private land if I remember correctly.**

Must add, it took white men, back East, to later turn Crazy Horse into some type of Indian Martyr.
Were it not for the Spanish and horses, there would be no Sioux.
They were at best a few clans of buffalo followers, stone age nomads, lost on the vastness of the plains.
The old popular song “Running Bear” was mistakenly thought to be “running bare” by many adolescents.
Running Bear
by Johnny Preston sung on a 45 in June 1959 by Sonny James
On the banks of the river stood runnin’ bear, young Indian brave
On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid
Little white dove was-a her name, such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other so their love could never be
Runnin’ bear loved little white dove with a love big as the sky
Runnin’ bear loved little white dove with a love that couldn’t die
The Left can always a few activists to do their bidding. I wonder how much the ‘tribal leaders’ are receiving in compensation for their loud complaints.

“Nearly all Indian tribes, with a few notable exceptions, fought on the side of the British in the Revolution.”
“Native tribal leaders are calling.........(blah, blah, blah).........”
They cannot dare use one word: “some”.
They always claim general identification of an entire group, by never saying “one”, “two”, “three”, “twenty” or even just “some”.
By using no value to weigh just what representation a group has within a larger group, the general assumption of the general sheeple is “all”, and the authors know “all” would be a lie, but “all” is what they want the sheeple to assume.
Got that phrase from an "Indian" lamenting the fact that most modern Indians are descendants of the drunken free-loaders living outside the Calvary posts.
This ought to get me cancelled!
White Liberals pay them to say this crap.
When those idiots find out what “Oklahoma” means, we’ll be changing the name of our state.
“The American Indians were stone-age savages who had not yet developed the concept of “sacred.””
It’s true, if I remember correctly, they had yet to realize the concept of the wheel.
