 * =**Native Americans Treatment**=





From the last words of Crazy horse (1877)

We had buffalo for food, and their hides for clothing and for our teepees. We preferred hunting to a life of idleness on the reservation, where we were driven against our will.

At times we did not get enough to eat, and we were not allowed to leave the reservation to hunt.

We preferred our own way of living. Government. Soldiers were sent out in the winter, to destroyed our village.

Then “Long hair” (Custer) came in the same way.

They say we massacred him, but he would have done the same thing to us had we not defended ourselves and fought to the last.

Our first impulse was to escape with our squaws and papooses, but we were so hemmed in that we had to fight.
