Yes, it is tragic the way American Indians have been treated.
Yes, it is tragic, but there doesn't seem to be any positive way to address the inequities. We need to become more vocal about it and make demands of our government, both local and federal.
Shown in black and white is very effective TFG.
I have always spelled that word teepee. Have I been doing it wrong all this time?In any case, this guy looks sad. I must say, I don't blame him.
