Quoting AlphaF:

I heard that there ıs a place somewhere ın US that the natıve Indıans called CHAPULTEPE...I was told that the Whıte man calls the same place BRIGAND HILL.....

Must be purely coıncıdental !



I wonder if you mean Chapultepec ?

Not in the US, but Mexico....but it was an important place for many Amerindians.

Quoting teaschip1:

What's your point, so there hasn't been a woman president either. Just for your information..

1987 President Ronald Reagan appoints Dr. Joy Cherian, the 1st Indian Commissioner of the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commmision (EEOC).

2007 Bobby Jindal is elected governor of Louisiana and is the 1st person of Indian descent to be elected governor of an American state. He is presently and historically the highest ranking Indian American in the United States Government.

Shall I go on...



You should be ashamed to admit that first elected native governor had to wait until 2007.

I demand that my brothers' holy lands be returned immediately..with three large herds of buffalos, if you dont mind !

You can go back to Germany or Ireland....whatever..

not to mention that Native Indians had to wait till 1924 to get the right to vote...54 years later after Afro Americans were formally enfranchised with the 15th amendment (187and 4 years after women.what a justice!!!
