I am proud to be of the Eastern band (Tennessee) of the Cherokee Nation, my wonderful mother told me of my wonderful heritage and I try to bring this forward with my family and my friends , and I thank you for this thread, we will not let anyone forget-----------------never-----------there heads should be held in shame.

Most people in this country go up to Mount Rushmore, so what, they should see what the Crazy Horse Mountain Monument represents for a war chief that one battles for his people and there way of life and defeated the U.S. Army

This war chief beat the white man in the hills of Wyoming, South Dakota, Montana, because of what they were doing to our brothers and sisters, children, mothers and fathers, bison, antelope, deer, moose, water, mother earth-------------in the name of greed, and they broke there word on every treaty--------everyone of them----------------and they still do it today--------there trust is just like the treaties they made-------------they were nothing but lies-------------they honor no agreements to protect scared land----------none--------they sell sovereign land without talking to the first nations sovereignty, just like days gone past today------it always the same-------we say no---------they say they don't care

I lived in South Dakota for over 10 years and use to go to the reservations with my mother, it is truly indescribable of what this country has and is doing to the First Natives----------this reservation on Pine Ridge shows exactly what this country is doing
