[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m personally ok with it but you have to decide how you feel. We are all living on land we violently took from Native Americans and we don’t let that bother us enough not to do it. [/quote] Not all was violently taken, in fact. I would also take issue with the claim that no land was stolen from Native Americans by anyone still alive. Read up on the history of mineral rights claims and Natives declared "incompetent" in Oklahoma in the first half of the 20th century. Or the allotments programs on the Plains also into the 20th century. Weirdly enough, there could have been a survivor or two of the Wounded Knee massacre still living when my millennial son was born in 1989. As Faulkner said, the past is not even past. Adding to this, Standing Rock is a recent example of the government overreaching sovereign Native land. [/quote][/quote]
