I fell off the wagon


I went to the library and got out a few books on indigenous genocides. Vacation is coming up and I have plenty to do around the house, but I was getting the shakes without a book to read. First up is the classic, Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown. So far, the first 3 chapters are like a high velocity fist in my face, not comfortable.

Feel free to peruse other posts on native americans, genocide, atrocity, and book reports.

I read BMHAWK when I was 11. It is a powerful book and very depressing.BTW, have you heard of the Lakota group that has declared itself independent of the US? Theyare trying to secede apparently. They believe they can do this because the US never honored the 30 treaties they made and now Lakota is trying to be free to take care of thier own people without US control. Not going to work. The government is very threatened by Indians being proactive.
