:      Russell Means, one of the main dudes in AIM, says that he (a Lakota) is not "Native American"; rather that he is "American Indian", so I took him at his word when I used the latter phrase.
:      If the people in the valley were, in fact, part of only the most recent wave of conquerers, does that justify the white wave and its behavior?  In other words, did the Indians, therefore, deserve what happened to them?
:      Why on earth would you defend the actions of the U.S. Army, and then claim to be aboriginal?
:      Please also do the following.  Don't drink before you post something for other people to read; and, check out my original thesis (dated 6/27/99).  My argument was against this battle being included with the Alamo, Gettysburg, and Lexington, as "against all odds".  Custer did not HAVE to fight, he decided to because that was what he WANTED.  Therefore, this battle was not "against all odds".

: Thank You.
