A person with native ancestors and "Custer's Last Stand". Aha. Still I suppose *that* happened last time he saw Libby, not on the Greasy Grass. I'll also let you in to a secret: it just doesn't go, claiming native ancestry, noble warrior, and at the same time speak about land theft and expulsion in terms of "they were just moved west". And why is it that these twits will always remember the Battle on the Greasy Grass, a massacre of course, for it was noble white myn who died, but succeed in suppressing every single massacre done by whites to natives? When the natives are slaughtered, it's a mishap that might happen every now and then, and when noble whitemyn bite the dust, it's a massacre, I see. What's that noise in front of your house? - Oh, just a few hundred white supremacists who want to welcome another true believer. Who was that muttering something about "racism" there? No, way off, I mean the bloke says he's got native ancestry. What did you say again - your ancestor was a "good Indian"? - now, of course, he isn't alive, is he. Now, yes, that must be it: after what you said about the protesters in Seattle, the Indians only had it coming to them for being unruly and only got what they deserved, according to your logic. Wait a sec, there's a funny noise ---- ah yes, it's the sound of a few scalp knives being sharpened. And the other? ---- Oh, that's Herr Metzger from WAR trying to phone you and offer membership in his organisation. Business as usual, one might say. Anyway, the Battle on the Greasy Grass was *not* the Sioux treacherously attacking a few well-meaning innocent soldiers out to help the tribes hunting buffaloes so that they had enough supplies to survive the next winter. Tatanka Iyotake was not going to be arrested by Custer - his arrest was years later and involving different people, when he was already back from Canada and been put into a rez: they killed him and said he resisted arrest. Another thing is that Tatanka Iyotake wasn't what you'd call a chief (you probably get your info from Hollywood B-products, if that), he was a wicasa wakan. He did not command and he slaughtered no person on the Greasy Grass, let alone 500 soldiers. He was not even on his own on the Greasy Grass, but there was a few Lakota with him, as well as some Tsististas and some from a few more nations. They all did their best to defend themselves, their families, and their homes and to fight off the soldiers who were there to take their lives, destroy their possessions. If the Battle on the Greasy Grass is nothing else to you but "Sitting Bull ... slaughtered 500 soldiers", then your claim about native ancestors is against all facts. Chaos-between-his-ears, enrolled member of the Wanabi Tribe. Twinkie, twinkie, little (Cu-)star. This twist of hystoric truths would get you a kick in the arse even by Richard Wilson. Actually, we still got the "task force" in Oklahoma equipped with fast BMW- cars, and they simply love to scalp twinkies and wanabis. Just name your home town, and prepare to be visited by a few natives. You know, they're still as bloodthirsty as Tatanka Iyotake was, and you know that he killed 500 soldiers single-handed. And it worked pretty well, didn't it, with the last idiot who was into white supremacy, a stout fan of Pahaska Custer and labeled the plains nations natural born killers ;) I remember we had a discussion about Native Americans this time last year, too. Just why do all the twinkies and wanabis start off again after they got some nice Indian books for xmas? catkawin
