To all,

Their are so many wrongs and rights regarding the treatment of natives here it would take way more energy than I have so i will get to it tomorrow.

WHat I can say now is that, being of Choctaw heritage, my family and many around us have had the honor to serve their country proudly.... Though there are some who blame all our ills on the US, there are a corps of us who, upon review of the treatment of other native populations. Simply KNOW that we are in OUR HOME, OUR COUNTRY, and will fight and die for it whenever we are needed.

We also understand that, even if the tribes had united and fought - the results would have been the same. We are proud of our resistance and sad for all that was lost.

I had a great great grandmother die on the trail of tears. I also had several family lost in WW2 (2 at pearl harbor), lost my father in Vietnam, 2 cousins served in the Gulf, 4 family members on active duty right now.

maybe more tomorrow...
