On the upside, the Lakota people proposing secession are saying they won't charge any of their citizens any taxes. I imagine some people would volunteer.Jaelithehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12081888212421953409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14577813.post-53249072273137865702007-12-22T12:45:00.000-08:002007-12-22T12:45:00.000-08:00We just watched "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" wh...We just watched "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" which was an HBO movie made not too long ago. It's about Red Cloud and Sitting Bull and the Lakotas. Gives insight into the Lakota situation and does justice to the countless injustices the American Indians faced during westward expansion.

I am curious as to how many people are actually involved with this, though. The article did not make that clear at all. Is this five people? Fifty? Five hundred?Jaelithehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12081888212421953409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14577813.post-68126190541822963702007-12-21T15:08:00.000-08:002007-12-21T15:08:00.000-08:00Its a group of indigenous activists ran by a guy n...Its a group of indigenous activists ran by a guy not officially affiliated with the nation - all the Lakota themselves are NOT seceding.

The Naragansett Native American Tribe wanted their land back. <BR/><BR/>Basically their plan was to take back their land where tens of thousands of people lived, worked and went to school. No money would be exchanged and the most of the property would be buldozed.<BR/><BR/>I can see both sides of the story, but as a homeowner I was very afraid of losing everything.Gruppie Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830401478500471807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14577813.post-84216075648336236342007-12-20T11:56:00.000-08:002007-12-20T11:56:00.000-08:00Wow.
