True. I only began reading Churchill as part of a project I embarked on about 10 yrs ago about native peoples in the US and to a lesser degree Canada and Mexico. I must have read 100 books about life on reservations and how they came to be. Read alot of Charles Eastman too,everything our library had,etc,etc. There’s alot of information out there,some of it glossed over,some of it brutal.I read stuff and found pictures that made me lose sleep at night. Our family sponsored a family with 3 kids on Pine Ridge(all the kids are adults now,all have left the rez for school,2 plan to go back and work to make life better there)and it was heartbreaking,the parents are alcoholics,etc,etc.
