"JD", or "Ed", or "JonQue"-it's hard to keep up with your 'transitions'- it's interesting that you've at least temporarily switched your focus from the usual racist outbursts against Jews and blacks and transferred your anger towards native Americans.
Clearly, you have no 'reservations' in sharing the hate that eats at your tortured soul wherever it leads you.
Have your mother call the office to set up your next session ASAP.

It was a number of tribes gathered for the buffalo hunt but Custer got himself and his troops killed. Despite the Crow scouts saying 'Lot of
Indians down there, sir' Custer and Reno stirred them up. They were
supposed to cut and run, not stand and fight. They didn't.
Fort Phil Kearney is a better example of the Lakota, Cheyenne, and
Arapaho working together.

People still argue about Fetterman's role but the facts are clear. He
went up the Lodge Ridge Trail. Once he crossed Sullivant Hill he was out
of sight of the fort. As he got further out on the ridge the trap was
sprung by the forces concealed in the gullies.
Up until that disaster the combined tribes had be playing rope-a-dope
for some time. The fort would send out a wood party, the Indians would
attack it, and the for would send out a QRT to drive them off. Fetterman
had already been lured in once but seems to havee forgotten all he knew
that day. In the best Army tradition they named a fort after him.
All this was during Red Cloud's War, 10 years before the Great Sioux War where Custer bought it. The Lakota won that one. The US sold out the
Crow with the Treaty of Fort Laramie. It didn't last long since there
was gold in the Black Hills. The Cheyenne and Arapaho had some contact
with the Lakota with the Dog Soldiers but Sand Creek sealed the deal.
It's eerie walking those battlefields. They're mostly short grass
prairie with rolling hills and numerous erosion gullies. You can't see
what's over the next hill. It's not terrain I'd want to fight in.

Therein lies the problem ... even in the face of a
quasi-genocidal threat the Amerindian tribes could
NOT unite for more than brief, contentious, moments.
Even worse, other tribes took advantage of US power
to assault their traditional foes, perhaps imagining
they would come out on top.
Similar issues south of the border.

Been there, I know what you're talking about. Kinda
low rolling hills of grass - seems idyllic but it CAN
hide and assist skilled opponents.
But my point is about "unity", a focused sense of self,
culture and nation. The Amerindians did not have that,
so the more self-posessed, organized, Euros were able
to crush them.
And the USA, and to an extent the EU, is in a similar
disassociated disparate condition themselves.
