If any of these references are wrong or disrespectful, please tell me so. One reason that things are as they are... Lone Wolf v. Hitchcock, 1903, Washington, DC. Lone Wolf of the Kiowa Tribe of Oklahoma sued in a lawsuit against the Secretary of the Interior. The U.S. Supreme Court upheld a decision to open Kiowa lands to settlers. The Supreme Court decided that the U.S. Congress could break treaty obligations if it deemed it in the Indians' best interest. By Aroo Mikkanen, 2001. (from the Kiowa display at the National Museum of The American Indian (NMAI) of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC) [ They will take your sacred tribal lands away from you forever and tell you "It's in your best interest!" ] [ And you wonder why we don't like you! ] Mitakuye Oyasin! |
