Her name is linked with that of Standing Bear and if information is correct the reason she became involved with the Indians and their 'fights'.

But I'm sure they never even saw it that way--probably just thought, "Well, I guess we better do something or else they'll stop volunteering as canon fodder."

Know what finally got it done, at least in part? The loyal military service of SO MANY American Indians in WWI, even though they weren't citizens.Troy D.

Not so great of course, when a fact goes wrong.<br /><br />I knew that our past history and treatment of American Indians was very convoluted and tragic. Will be reading and following each word you write about this subject.<br /><br />I knew the Fourteenth Amendment was written so that blacks could own land and be declared citizens. The fact that American Indians were left out, proves the continuing deplorable state of Native Americans on American soil.<br /><br />Thank you for your academic knowledge and continued posts about this subject.<br /><br />There is nothing stronger than facts and the real truth about a subject terribly misunderstood and distorted for so many years.<br /><br />Charlie SteelCharlie Steelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16992330591519249699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-47954781192028607472014-06-03T10:18:45.754-05:002014-06-03T10:18:45.754-05:00Wow.

Troy, I always enjoy these posts of yours so much--I learn so many things from them. <br /><br />I see you also have some new stories out I wasn't aware of! Thanks for posting those, too. <br />Cheryl<br /><br />Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.com
