We might be brothers. I always wanted to be an Indian too. They had all the cool gear, feathers, bow and arrow, war paint and ponies. Any old fat guy could sit on a hill and kill way too many buffalo. The Indians did it up close. Teepees were cool back then too. Maybe not so much now. Shit ... forgot tomahawks. I am mids 60s and I would still like to have one.
Mid teens I started to become a lot more socially aware and read books like Who's the Savage and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee .... etc. I not only learned more about how they were treated hundreds of years ago but how they are still treated poorly today. I was proud of that guy on the side of our helmet. I bunch of Richard heads can call me insensitive or a racist but they don't know shit.
How are they treated poorly today?
