Riding point for a new Custer
"The government takes our indian boys,our uncles,cousins, brothers, sons, all of us, to fight their wars. World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam. As long as the shooting keeps on, we are all the heroes, like Ira Hayes, who won the Congressional Medal of Honor at Iwa Jima. When we come back we are once again incompetent wards of the government and end up in a ditch, also like Ira Hayes.
Maybe those Vietnamese are all former Indians and we are all Crow and Rhee scouts riding point for a new Custer. I have seen pictures of Song My, My Lai, and I have seen pictures of Wounded Knee - the dead mothers with their babies. And I remember my grandfather, Good Fox, telling me about the dead mother with a baby nursing at her cold breast, drinking that cold milk. My Lai was hot, and Wounded Knee was icy cold, and that's the only difference." - Lame Deer Vietnam was a new Wounded Knee, and now there are many new Vietnams and a new Custer and some of us still take pride in riding point for him. |
