I just read this article last night... This shit isn't the past. It's still happening today, sadly. I think everyone just assumes "Indian" = "North American Indian" and think it's all just been completely colonialized by now, but there are still so many tribes out there trying to retain their cultural existence at the continuing onslaught of Imperial Onslaught.
