We beat the Indians.  They died by the millions, most to diseases and some to guns.  We gave the survivors food, medical care, and alcohol, put them in reservations, and erased the history of a once-proud people.  My family called it the “Solution to the Indian Problem.”  It was not the only time they organized such a solution.  It is merely the only one most who read this will recognize.  I did what I did to make certain it never happened again.
