General William “Tecumseh” Sherman, 1867:
“The more Indians we can kill this year, the less will have to be killed the next war, for the more I see of these Indians, the more convinced I am that they all have to be killed or maintained as a species of paupers.”
Nice middle name, “Bill”. You should have given it back.
Chief Gall, a leader of the Hunkpapa Sioux warriors at Little Big Horn:
“If you had a country which was very valuable, which had always belonged to your people... and men of another race came to take it away by force, what would your people do? Would they fight?
From the Trail of Tears to Wounded Knee, and long before and since, this was a sad time in “American” history. Manifest Destiny, ha, how many dictators also claimed that?
Also, the conduct of the BIA over history, makes our current politicians look like nickle and dime crooks.
