Posted - November 19 2002 : 07:41:47 AM This was in my Saturday's newspaper. Some of you may already know about this:
Nearly 70 years after his death, the remains of Black Horse, a Cheyenne Indian warrior and ancestor of Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, will be made whole. Bone shards stored by the military for more than a century will be buried at his grave site in Montana this weekend. Black Horse fought with Crazy Horse at the Battle of Little Big Horn. The shards of Black Horse's bones were removed from his leg in 1879 by an Army surgeon treating a gunshot wound. The government has an estimated 200,000 sets of American Indian remains.
This absolutely blows my mind.

Posted - November 19 2002 : 6:51:44 PM Doesn't suprise me in the least.. Some day they'll probably try to put all of us (Indians) in a museum case somewhere.. The sad thing is my people believed that if your body wasn't whole you couldn't go to the happy hunting grounds.. |
