4. My final rant on this (i get too emotional) SITTING BULL SPEAKS!
"What treaty that the whites heave kept has the red man broken? Not one.
What treaty that the white man ever made with us have they kept" Not one.
When I was a boy the Sioux owned the world; the sun rose and set on their land; they sent ten thousand men to battle. Where are the warriors today? Who slew them? Where are our lands? Who owns them? What white man can say I ever stole his land or a penny of his money? Yet, they say I am a thief. What white woman, however lonely, was ever captive or insulted by me? Yet they say I am a bad Indian. What white man has ever seen me drunk? Who has ever come to me hungry and unfed? Who has ever seen me beat my wives or abuse my children? What law havie I broken? Is it wrong for me to love my own? Is it wicked for me because my skin is red? Because I am a Sioux; because I was born where my father lived; because I would die for my people and my country?"

And nothing about the "white man" has changed. And in the after-life, will he not be held accountable? Ward919
