This pretty much sums up what is going on at Standing Rock:



Such a brave young woman, such a coward police that they have to face peaceful people in full battle gear. The government is in full "Indian Wars" posture and mentality.

The indians crossed onto PRIVATE property and started attacking people. That is hardly peaceful. The fact they are bringing 'wooden posts and flagpoles' to go up against a fully armed force shows they didn't take advantage of the free education they have access to. It isn't bravery, it's stupidity.

Broken Treaties 101
" US government bought land from Native Americans east of the Mississippi and offered to give them land in the west that would be “theirs forever.” However, this treaty was not honored by the US government as white travelers, and traders were allowed to settle in this land that had had recently been given to Native Americans.
broken treaties

Here they just wiped out most of my ancestors the Huron ( I have Ojibway and Cree blood too) and moved in...
They even imported some natives for local color and to help the tourist trade
and so their land up the lakes could be stolen too

I personally find the white non muslim x european
"We stole it it's ours, so we are superior to honor" 'tude is deeply disturbing.
Just sayin...

We could have done what many others have throughout history and just killed all of ya. Considering how much of a pain in the *** you are to deal with it probably was the better route. Our mistake.

Don't feel bad. Y'all gave it a heck of a shot. Just for future reference, wait until the last one's in the grave before you express your deep regret yadda yadda yadda.

I've never tried to kill an injun I didn't like. And I only got him with a fish hook in the arm. I told him not to lean over the side right then.
