What treaty have the Sioux made with the white...
| What treaty have the Sioux made with the white man that we have broken? Not one. What treaty have the white man ever made with us that they have kept? Not one. When I was a boy the Sioux owned the world; the sun rose and set on their land; they sent ten thousand men to battle. Where are the warriors today? Who slew them? Where are our lands? Who owns them?....What law have I broken? Is it wrong for me to love my own? Is it wicked for me because my skin is red? Because I am a Sioux; because I was born where my father lived; because I would die for my people and my country? |

| And so the internal dsirtucteon of tribal rights continues. The advent of gaming has provided th government to impetus to slow or stop land into trust agreements and now we see land that was probably part of a termination era plan to provide "individual american citizen rights" to tribal people has come back to bite the tribe(s). I say the government should stop this "back taxes" seizure" and offset the back annuities that are owed the tribe. Enough is enough, stand up Redmen, protest this type of activity by the government! |
