1890: U.S. Army massacres Sioux Indians at Wounded Knee
Quote Of The Day
"Before our white brothers came to civilize us, we had no jails. Therefore we had no criminals. You can't have criminals without a jail. We had no locks or keys, and so we had no thieves. If a man was so poor that he had no horse, tipi or blanket, someone gave him those things. We were too uncivilised to set much value on personal belongings ..... We wanted to have things only in order to give them away. We had no money, and therefore a man's worth could not be measured by it. We had no written law, no attorneys or politicians, therefore we couldn't cheat. We really were in a bad way before the white men came, and I don't know how we managed to get along without these basic things which, we are told, are absolutely necessary to make a civilised society."
