I have not checked out this man, but seeing that he was a Native American, I am sure that many of his actions were to benefit his fellow Native Americans. It was a HORRIBLE black eye on the the 'white man' that the people who were here first were treated so horribly...their land taken away and stuck away on reservations. Why the 'white man' always thought themselves superior to others and able to see land and want it and do what they had to in order to get it is just horrid. I think that those of us who are not Native Americans can learn so VERY much from them...take from nature only what you need and use all of what you take and treat 'Mother Earth' with respect. If all of us believed as the Native Americans I don't think the earth would be in the terrible state it is... My great grandmother was Cherokee and unfortunately I never knew her, but I like to think that her blood flowing through my veins influences the way I look at nature...
