***Try Washita, Sand Creek, and the aforementioned Wounded Knee. The United States did not
cover itself with glory in dealing with the aboriginal population of North America. No other
way to spin it. ***


Read the book MASSACRES OF THE MOUNTAINS by J. P. DUNN JR.
written around 1888.

Another good one is MY LIFE ON THE PLAINS BY G. A. CUSTER

And THE INDIAN WARS OF 1864 by Captain Eugene Ware.

Also THE SAVAGE YEARS An anthology edited by Shepard Rifkin.

You will never think of the Indians as "sweet little red skinned darlins" again.

The Little Big Horn is in CROW indian territory. The CROWS fought along side the 7th Cavalry. The Sioux, Cheyennes and Arapaho were INVADERS into CROW Land.
Will this re-enactment have the CROWS defeated by the Sioux and Chyennes again?

Don't put words in my mouth. I never said anything about "sweet little red skinned darlins." I'm fully aware of what went on between the Indians and the whites, as I've said in other posts.

The Indians were no saints. You seem to be under the illusion that the whites were. That's where we part company.
