Default RE: A Tribute To The American Indian

Double Creek, if you want an eye opener, do a little research on Andrew Jackson, the Act of Removal, the Cherokee Constitution, United States Supreme Court (ref: Worcester v Georgia, 1832) and how a sizeable chunk of the State of Georgia legally belonged to the Cherokee Nation. You'll begin to understand why having Andrew Jackson's picture on the $20 bill is a continuing insult to the Cherokee people. You might understand why Indians couldn't trust anything the whites said, because whites proved they wouldn't even abide by their own laws in dealing with Indians, and there was no justice for them in the American judicial system.
