I believe that Black Kettle and Left Hand were visionaries and wanted peace for their tribes and for others in America. It's sad they were not viewed equal to the White man and have been treated unfairly throughout history. I still admire those that stood for peace and envisioned it across all cultures, but our government and others interfered. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity.

I think Black Kettle and Left hand were strong men who wanted peace and that's admirable. I can't imagine how hard it would be to work toward peaceful solutions in the face of such adversity. I would love to be entered in the drawing.

I find it so sad that greed and evil of all forms is allowed to overcome the peacekeepers. But as you are doing, we all can be educated about the wrongful things that happened in history. I just wish we would learn from past mistakes!!! bcrug(at)twc(dot)comConnie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038621934457678475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-1669511802388153852019-04-25T07:03:23.509-04:002019-04-25T07:03:23.509-04:00They were visionaries.

Native Americans are still being treated the same and their sacred land violated time and time again. So sad. Jubileewriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681074948260157766noreply@blogger.com
