It's so true isn't it. I think we should remember the Red Holacost when we
think of what the Nazis did to the Jews. And this should be taught in the
schools as such. What was done to the Redman is a shame this country will never
be able to live down. I don't believe that any thinking, feeling human being 
could look at this time in our history and feel anything but shame. 

A good book on this subject is John G. Neihardt's BLACK ELK SPEAKS, Being the
life story of a holy man of the Oglala Sioux.

Speaking of the butchering at Wounded Knee...
" I did not know then how much was ended. When I look back now from this high
hill of my old age, I can still see the butchered women and children lying 
heaped and scattered all along the crooked gulch as plain as when I saw them
with eyes still young. And I can see that something else died there in the 
bloody mud, and was buried in the blizzard. A people's dream died there...
for the nation's hoop is broken and scattered. There is no center any longer,
and the sacred tree is dead. " Black Elk.
