ThreeCrows: The history of this nation has treated Native Americans with: "The teaching of American history in this country is never an in-depth topic when it comes to the Native American culture. There is plenty of information of the forming of this nation by the Europeans and restrained discussion on slavery because it still remains a major stain on the treatment and dehumanization of a race but with the Native American culture, we hear the requisite stories of Pocahontas and Sacajawea because f their association with helping white explorers and they are safe, Disney themed makeovers. We also here about Custer and Little Big Horn with the notion that Custer was this great U.S. soldier who was massacred with his troops because he tale was retold by those who succeeded in rewriting his history. A recent documentary revealed that Custer had massacred many Native Americans tribes in such horrible manners with full support of the U.S. because land was the prize sought and these tribes stood in the way. Custer created his own holocaust and only in digging deeper do we find the truth as to who he was, a murderer. My Native ancestor were placed on a forced march called the Trail of Tears but you won't see that in American history books."
