WRONG ON SO MANY FRONTS
The USA has sent helicopters to the sacred grounds of Wounded knee were hundreds of my people were massacred in 1890 while dancing the ghost dance. The place where in 1973 Lakota Grandmothers went to make a stand with the AIM movement supporting them, and again met the army.
When will it end? When will unarmed Indians stop running into armed military on our own lands? Will the USA always chose the 7th Calvary to do this dirty work? Are we to believe it is anything other then insult that the USA chooses the same unit who massacred hundreds of our ancestors, mothers, grandparents and babies?
All I can contribute is that I am shocked and angry. So here are some links for you all.

I totally like youre version better...the only thing missing wouild be if the helicopters were piloted by the ghosts of custer, jones and butler. That would be super ironic!!

"my version" is what Lakota people (my people) knew of the incident at the time it was happening. Why does the military always get permission from one person acting on their own instead of the community, and then everyone is all shocked that we are ticked off and in the dark? So as the news spreads across Indian Country today it seems, Kris is is right, there is key details about this story that many of my people (those concerned) did not know, were left in the dark about...like military helicopters trying to land on the place where the military massacred my people in the first of 2 sieges on that spot. And while ony one of the sieges ended in massacre, lets remember both involved death by the military; But apparently with all the best intentions. Have these people never heard of tact?!!
