Custard?
Cue-Star?
Oh - Custer.

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?
