One of many sad events in which the indigenous people were made to suffer.

MSG Stan Hutchison As Horrendous as it was! Perspective Gives Me Joy, I Have 3 Grandchildren with Native American Heritage and They are Also Dawes! "Dawes Roll" First Native American Census, What is Used by the "Gov't" to Decide Who is and Who isn't "Native". A Man of Scottish Heritage got to Decide who and what it means to be "Native American" is BS! My Grandchildren get to Mock and Laugh at their European Heritage!

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - I was raised with the family legend that we were part Native American. However, I enrolled with Heiritage.com and a couple other such organizations, and all of them show I have no Native blood at all. I am sure this is probably true with many Americans. As is often the case, facts disproved legend.
