Everything you have described above has happened to the Native Americans that weren't outright killed by white settlers. More Natives were killed by US troops and all of the holocaust. You should really brush up on history before making comments out of ignorance. Not saying you are ignorant, just that you have your facts wrong. I lived in Birmingham and witnessed the atrocities there. Were you? What I am seeing today is far worse inhumane treatment of peaceful protestors.<br />John L.

It seems much more likely that they're going to help the Army Corps of Engineers evict and clean up the site for continued pipeline drilling. The primary contact for the vet "deployment" is working closely with the Governor, not the Tribal leaders. That tells me everything I need to know about whose side they're on. Hopefully, I'm wrong; But, time will tell...Lydia D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17042283772465403285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2724586030190969048.post-875480999405648482016-12-01T02:33:11.982-08:002016-12-01T02:33:11.982-08:00Yo...

I worry antimedia is merely saying outrageous things to generate advertising revenue. Will there or has there been a significant increase in support from those claiming to be American service or veterans?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870640371290583774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2724586030190969048.post-85302653224638369712016-12-01T01:05:48.153-08:002016-12-01T01:05:48.153-08:00"...Most Americans 50 years old or more, reme..."...Most Americans 50 years old or more, remember the civil rights era. It is taught in history books in school as something we should never forget or repeat. Here at Standing Rock Sioux Reservation I am witnessing something far worse that that." It's inappropriate to compare one historical period to another; But, since you did - I can confidently correct you to say that your field trip to North Dakota, and what you've described witnessing, pales in comparison to the 400 years of slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, separate but equal, discrimination, harassment, red-lining, school to prison pipeline, racial profiling, church bombings, black wall street, Rosewood, and continued genocidal treatment of black people to this day. So, you might want to rethink your statement.Lydia D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17042283772465403285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2724586030190969048.post-28886380984553221142016-11-30T06:16:23.476-08:002016-11-30T06:16:23.476-08:00Yes, excellent.Yes, excellent.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16713495741701394766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2724586030190969048.post-15381389234033665552016-11-30T05:48:54.736-08:002016-11-30T05:48:54.736-08:00EXCELLENTEXCELLENTnienaberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10357301000117301832noreply@blogger.com
