AFP: Descendants of Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse break away from US

AFP: Descendants of Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse break away from US

Way to go Lakota!
I really am ashamed of being a white person on this continent. All I can say to the true native people is "I'm not like them!" and "I would have not taken your land, freedom, and lives!" A white man talking on this continent about freedom and respecting culture etc is one of the biggest hypocrites in history. Last time I read a history book, it was the white man who came here and set up camp then started claiming land(which was for everybody) for themselves and kicking the native people off of it then crowding them onto reservations after the european diseases wiped out huge numbers of people and then treating them as second class citizens even though we invaded their land, and it just goes on and on.

There is not much that can be done to reverse the damage to these beautiful cultures. The US government should issue a formal apology for starting our country on their land and do everything humanly possible to help spread their culture and native languages with the same enthusiasm that we used to destroy them. My punctuation in this is horrible! LOL! Now you know why I called the blog "RantingTimmy." I get so into these things that I just don't care. Oh well!
