Re: Contemporary American History
The GOP and Indians are not going to ever be besties. If there was a treaty we broke it. We also tried our best to invalidate the treaty. One we could not invalidate was the Black Hills treaty with the Lakota. We tried to say it was not a valid. The value of the land started w a T. I recall the negotiated amount was $15 billion. That was too much for Congress and the administration. They wanted to lower it to$3 billion or so. The Lakota turned it down. So there is sits valid treaty. No compensation. I have not followed it for many years and do not know if that is still the situation or if my facts are missing something. Last involvement was ffom a friend who was asked to be the Trustee and administrstor for the fund whstever size

I love this history that wasn’t taught in school. Like I used to tell my kids…. “If all you know is what you were taught in school, you don’t know much”….that lesson applies to many things.OCanada wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2024 3:43 pm The GOP and Indians are not going to ever be besties.

Lakota still do not wish to accept compensation as legally it would essentially terminate their claim to their land forever.OCanada wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2024 3:43 pm The GOP and Indians are not going to ever be besties.

Re: Contemporary American History
"Godless way of life"
That takes me back to the bad old days of the Cold War when, supposedly, there was a commie in every lecture hall, pulpit, street corner, hiding in a closet or under every bed. The mindlessness of these delusionals was just laughable beyond belief. Sadly, many were hurt by the mere accusation of being a commie. Strangely, tv drama/comedy programming did not address that. Thankfully, the problem gradually dissipated though extremists like tRump like to exploit the issue by branding anyone he hates as fascist or communist. What's worse is how some are stupid enough to believe his garbage speeches and accusations.
It has been proven a hundred times that the surest way to the heart of any man, black or white, honest or dishonest, is through justice and fairness.

Looks like Princeton. I heard many stories about MWLC. Was thrilled when I took my first trip there for drinks.

Re: Contemporary American History
My dad and numerous of his buddies played for the Wolfpack in their heyday. I remember seeing many of these games as a little kid . After his ‘retirement’ we would sit behind the goal in the stands just a few yards beyond the end line. No net, you needed to keep an eye on the ball for missed shots.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Sun Sep 01, 2024 8:42 amLooks like Princeton. I heard many stories about MWLC.
