The truth is that many hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost since the beginning of this conflict. 95% of those deaths are Native American. They have been decimated through waring, massacres, starvation through loss of land and lively hood, or the intentional diseases given to them by the Gov. with infected blankets. They have lost lives even more recently with the genocide committed in the 1970-80's during the most recent uprisings of the Indian Nations .I think we can all agree that they have taken the bigger loss. <br /><br />I couldn't be more sad to hear that you lost a great friend, and we lost a couple F.B.I. agents. Again, any loss is regrettable. There was loss on both sides. I hope someday there can be a resolution that would make both sides happy but I fear it won't be accomplished any time soon. There are still many reservations that are in very despicable states. Mr. Means, (wether you love or hate him) and the A.I.M. movement accomplished a new awareness to those conditions.<br /><br />The continuing plight of many Native Americans needs to be acknowledged and I hope that the portrait itself reignites new questions, curiosities, and debate that is it's purpose for those that see it.lisa williamsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2418363880270547155.post-10017797052772494922010-03-26T16:31:03.607-06:002010-03-26T16:31:03.607-06:00Russell Means isn't worth the paint on the bru...Russell Means isn't worth the paint on the brush that caught his likeness as I lost a good friend and two F.B.I. agents as a result of his actions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
