   OLD Bill to All   
   Re: NATIVE AMERICANS --TODD & DOODLE

   From: bronco3006@webtv.net   
      
   And a sunny Sunday to you both.   
   Todd --> The Canadian Government by whatever means they used did not   
   have the fights and uprisings that we had here.   
   So there was no major headlines for the papers of that day.   
   Here as Doodle stated & as I have said we broke all the treaties or   
   failed to enforce them. The people who led the   
   treaty party's probably knew in advance that we would not keep them or   
   at least suspected the congress would never ratify them.   
   Doodle also talked about some of the different reservations and how they   
   were set up. He said Bosque Redondo, but there are other's where tribes   
   that raided each other were incorporated into or next to each other.   
   Pine Ridge in South Dakota   
   is next to & or surrounded by Crow land.   
   Doodle pointed out the Long Walk that took the southeastern tribes into   
   the Indian territory. That trip was not as the crow would fly, it seemed   
   to wander around quit a bit.   
      
   There are several great books that I have read and enjoyed,however the   
   one that is very true in modern time is titled   
   "On The REZ"  by Ian Frazier. Due to it I have traveled 3 times to Pine   
   Ridge. That is a place that will give you a good insight as to the   
   modern indian situation. BTW   
   Monday the PBS show will deal with Wounded Knee. I have been there as a   
   guest of one of the tribal police that I have come to know.   
   Another is by Edward Lazarus titled   
   "Black Hills, White Justice".   
      
   Todd, as for myself I am 69 and in central Indiana. I have spent 10   
   years in the summer wandering the western states,   
   seeing some of the places the 3 of us are talking about.   
   CaCa how about a little insight on you?   
   Since we all seem to enjoy talking discussing & reading things about the   
   Native Americans.   
   Also I can be reached at my e-mail address, webtv is like the last   
   prehistoric   
   monster. It still runs but I don't know why.   
      You all be safe -->   "Old"  Bill
