Different story, mi kola. Unless you meant something else. The forced cultural assimilation process is a never-healing wound.
I have several close friends that are Native American: Flatfoot (Crow Rez, Billings, Montana), Cherokee (North Carolina), Apache (New Mexico), Lakota, Dakota and Nakota (Pine Ridge and Standing Rock), Comanche (Nez Perce Rez, Idaho) and Cree (Canada).
