I just thought I’d add this for today. I find it utterly shameful that from 1778 to 1871, the United States government entered into more than 500 treaties with the Native American tribes; all of these treaties have since been violated in some way or outright broken by the US government.
The US Government reneged on its treaty with the Lakota (“Sioux”) people of South Dakota about the Black Hills. Feeling guilty, the US Government tried to buy the Black Hills and the Lakota said, Nope. Even the UN has looked into the matter and sides with the Lakota.
