...Wingerden writes that I have been unavailable for comment on the accident. Admittedly I went camping with a group of my girls Friday after the accident.

In 1784 and 1794 our government concluded treaties with your government that recognize the political integrity and separateness of our nations and that grant the U.S. land on which to live. These treaties formed the political basis of the Indian nations' relationship to the U.S. But beyond the political reasons for our steadfast refusal to be integrated are spiritual reasons.
