Those of you unfamiliar with Native American history…as told by them, not white folk…I would highly recommend Wilma Pearl Mankiller’s autobiography, “Mankiller”. She is fair in her book about Cherokee and Native American history and portrays the depth of their history that I did not get in history class. I have the highest regard for Chief Mankiller, as she organized the Bell water project that gave them back some of the pride, community, and self-sufficiency that had been beaten out of them.
People take to the streets in Rapid City, South Dakota to protest racism, Feb 26, 2015.
In frigid, windy but sunny conditions, more than 100 protesters Thursday marched on the Rapid City-School Administration Center downtown as part of a movement calling for government accountability to resolve social injustices toward Native Americans.
The Thursday march coincided with the release a 12-page report by the Lakota People’s Law Project, “Native Lives Matter,” which asserts the U.S. justice system is responsible for those injustices.
