Well, for better or worse, "The Smoke of the Sioux" is active.

The first post is largely info that I had previously posted here and you have to start somewhere.

The 7 Council Fires of the Great Sioux Nation

I am thinking George Catlin/Karl Bodmer for the next post.

Gee, we might have to take a few Sunday drives to visit Minnesota Massacre sites. I have the right to call it the "Minnesota Massacre" (if I so choose) instead of the more PC -"1862 Dakota Uprising" because both branches of my paternal family fled from the Sioux during the Uprising.

And your paternal & maternal families invaded Sioux territory from where?

I'm guessing they were not a neighboring tribe.

Somewhat recently, I became fairly aware of Oceti Sakowin.

Stay tuned Ghost, stay tuned.

I guess I fail to see how using what happened to the Sioux, in any way, makes a pro-immigration argument. Quite simply put, they were devastated by a flood of Europeans.

The Sioux did not own their "Sacred Black Hills" for very long prior to the coming of the Europeans. And the great buffalo ranges of Wyoming and Montana (see The Battle of the Little Bighorn) were taken from the Crow right around Fur Trapper time in the early 1800's.

It is important to remember that right until the end of the wild and free Indian days, and even beyond, the Indians hated their tribal enemies more than they hated the whites.

Hence, the Crow scouts for the US Army at the Little Big Horn-etc etc.

I'm pretty sure Spock knows this but the names we know most tribes by are derogatory name the tribes to the east of them called them, e.g. dog-eaters.
