It appears that we are all the Indians now.

Your dad deserves far more than a quilt in recognition...but the sentiment does have value. The man represents America's best.

Andrew, I've known of that disgrace most of my life.
Many detainees were "hosted" at Santa Fe, and many more in SE Colorado.
That was a shameful moment in the history of the US, for sure.
