Where is the Lakota cavalry?
Friday, March 11, 2022
There are times I write a column just to alert the National Congress of American Indians, the National Indian Education Association, the Native American Rights Fund, tribal leaders, and any other tribal organizations that there is a WRONG out there and it is a WRONG that needs to be addressed.
I am always amazed when not one of the above name organizations or tribal leaders sees it as a problem and never addresses it.
Let me give you an example. Several years ago I wrote about a book called “The Brethren” written by Bob Woodward and Scott Armstrong. The book was one of the best books ever written about the U.S. Supreme Court.
In the book they did a little piece on Chief Justice William Rehnquist. It seems that the good judge kept a little file where he kept cases for and against Native Americans. He called it his “Shit file.” Now just that attitude alone by a Supreme Court Justice should have had all Native American organizations up in arms.
