Bury my heart indeed...

Bury my heart at wounded knee -- by Dee Brown

One of the most moving books I have ever read. The documentation of the total destruction of a proud people.

OK, I know the Indians were vicious in many ways. That was their culture. After attempts to assimilate them into the New American way of life, with ignorance and racism the order of the day, the invading people simply stole their lands, destroyed the buffalo and set up the reservations.

Disease and alcohol did the rest.

Read it and weep...
