Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.currently reading the book. a fascinating story of the colonisation of the West by European settlers as seen through the eyes of the native people.
It is a bit repetitive though. Settlers make treaty with "indians". Settlers break treaty, battle ensues and on and on until the "Indians" are decimated and the few remaining are pushed into "reservations.

You right... in the 70's an American Hippie Friend gave me the book "I buried my heart at Wounded Knee". Opened my eyes while living a Colonial Life. I remember a quote from a Native American... "White Man made us many Promises... they only kept one... they promised they will take our land."
@GipsyOfNewSpain yeah and later decided they were too much trouble so decided to kill them off instead
Of course it isn't taught in school. If so kids would know the people of this country have been racists and abusers since 1776
