Thanks for the link Deuce.

I watched 'Broken Arrow' with Jeff Chandler as Cochise and James Stewart as Tom Jeffords about a week ago on TV.

Thanks for the posts Deuce. Some great info on this thread.

I have not read that much on the American Indians - the last time I did, I was interested in the AIM movement of the 1960's and 70's. At the time, I read 'Where White Men Fear to Tread' by Russell Means, 'Lakota Woman' by Mary Crow Dog and a little bit of 'Ojibwa warrior' by Dennis Banks.

Here's an interesting video about the Wounded Knee incident in 1973.

Beside the obvious cultural loss, this is economically stupid. Any money saved by cannibalizing the structure could have been made back tenfold through tourism.

“The stones of Rego Grande are quite extraordinary and in their irregularity may have their own unique meaning, different from other megalithic sites around the world,” Mr. Melville said...

He added, “We can only speculate what its stones mean.”
