To get some music into this, there is a song about the Canadian govt. wiping out the natives in Saskatchewan in the 1800's. The line that gets me goes: Come Gabriel we'll make a stand, here at Batoche beside the river, and never mind their Gatlin guns, if we lose this time, we've lost forever.. another hooker in it goes..Their dreams were lost, and their spirit died.. You would have to be made of wood to not be moved by this song.
