what the??? where you been boy?? oh..NOW I know how you get ten posts a day out and you are all over Steemit posting comments. You don't watch tv.
The ads for that movie were constant a couple months ago.

It's a big movie starring Christian Bale and is a very realistic view, Michael Medved says, about the cruelty of both sides in the Indian Wars.
I can't wait to see it. But like I said before, our Army didn't start being cruel until they saw their own and settlers being butchered and tortured.

There's a remarkable book by a Texas lady who was captured by the Indians, lived with them and wrote a book, there's a couple of them actually, that I want to get and read.

Interesting that some of the women who were captured elected to stay with the Indians when given a chance to go back to the whites, this one lady was like that and gave birth to a boy who became one of the most famous Comanche warriors and Chiefs. I got some good posts coming someday.

Yes, and some of the people who had it the worst were the so-called "half breeds" who often caught flack from both sides. My Gramma on my father's side was a "half breed."

I'll keep an eye out for that movie on Netflix, or wherever...

oh!!! what nation was she? and that makes you ..what? do you know what percentage?

I'm 1/8th Blackfoot or Sioux...we aren't sure which...

I'm 1/8th Bigfoot and I've been sued.

Why?...for messing up somebody's flower garden?...for boating without a boat...what?

lol! I was sued twice when I was in the floor maintenance business maintaining, stripping and waxing tile floors, 2 different times ladies claimed that they tripped and slipped so I had to pay big time even though there was no evidence that they were injured. that was almost 20 years ago, we got out of the floor maintenance business in 2004.

Ridiculous. I would have sued my lawyer...lol....
