WE MUST NEVER FORGET THAT SEVERAL MILLION NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS WERE ALREADY HERE WHEN THE FIRST WHITE MAN ARRIVED. THE U.S. GOVERNMENT BROKE EVERY TREATY IT EVER SIGNED WITH THEM AND A FTI - IT WAS A GROUP OF WHITES THAT BEGAN THE SCALPING OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN - THE NATIVES RETURNED THE INSULT. THEY BELIEVED YOU HAD TO BE PHYSICALLY WHOLE TO RETURN TO THE GREAT SPIRIT (GOD). TAKING A SCALP WAS LIKE CONDENMING THAT PERSON'S SPIRIT TO WALK THE EARTH FOREVER. THEY WERE DRIVEN FROM THEIR LANDS AND MUDERED OR ROUNDED UP AND PUT ON WHAT IS PRETTY MUCH USELESS LAND IN RETURN FOR OUR AMERICA. LET'S NOT FORGET THEY WERE HERE FIRST AND SHOULD BE RESPECTED.
