bury my heart at wounded knee

bury my heart at wounded knee is an amazing book from the perspective of american indians, a history of the west, the crimes against indians. of course it was a war, a war over land, and there were many casualties on both sides. and there is injustice still, in the poverty of the american indians and their ongoing suffering, living on reservations, living in poverty. but there is hope. we can hope that tomorrow will be a better day, hope that american indians can learn skills to earn a good income, that their children can go to school and make something of their lives. in terms of charities i like red cloud indian school.
