John Nolan | ADD: Little Big Horn & Custer's Last Stand (32) | RE: Lyr Req: Little Big Horn | 14 Aug 01 |
Visited the battlefield in early August and was astonished, if not disturbed to see that that apart from the roughly 220 gravemarkers for Custer and his men, a huge part of the site was given over to a national cemetery for thousands of US veterans, some of whom have died comparatively recently. There was also a notice which said that a memorial for some 150 Native Americans who fell in the battle would be constructed if and when the money is raised. They sound like second class citizens to me. |
