Sounds a lot like what our government is still doing to people now. Forcing people to buy health insurance, required submission of private health records to the government, exempting the SEC from the freedom of information act, accessing private credit card data without search warrants, assassinating Americans who are suspected of involvement in terrorism without benefit of trial, making itself the only provider of student loans, etc. The bigger government gets the less it seems to get right so I can never figure out why people want more and more government involvement in their lives. *sigh*

Oh spare me the tears on health care, Rita. It's nowhere near the same thing.

Don't want to buy health insurance? Fine. Pay the tax instead. No one's forced to change their way of life.

Health care is something local, state and the federal governments have been paying out on for years. Requiring people to pay for their own is merely the government balancing its checkbook.

We've had it here in MA for years and neither the people nor the state government are broke. In fact, our economy is growing at twice the national rate, our unemployment's lower and we've nearly 100% coverage. Not sure what's not to like about that.

OH wow that is just heart wrenching! God bless them that's terrible!!! To totally just overthrow a people that were here LONG before we were like that has always seemed one of the most abonimable things to me. I'm not proud of our forefathers for that and I've always found that sickening. :( Thanks for the video Pamela more people should see this.

I respectfully disagree, Ridley, those poor people were ordered by congress to leave their homes because the government believed they knew better. The government does NOT always know better as you can see in the heartbreaking situation the Navajo found themselves in. It is sobering and the government continues on a growing scale to abuse other categories of people on different issues, ignoring individual rights.

I apologize, Pamela, as it was not my intent to hijack your comment thread but that abuse at the hands of government just struck me so strongly that I couldn't help make the comparison to something I could relate to in today's current events.

What a tragedy, Pamela. It seem slike the more things change, the more they stay the same. I'm glad there are people like you bringing situations like this to our attention. It's the only hope.

I'm also glad that you are bringing this to our attention. The depths that the Federal government in both Canada and the US have mistreated Native People is astounding.

Wow, how incredibly sad! Really, it's unbelievable that this issue is STILL going on in this country and we are STILL doing the same thing we've been doing for 100 years. Thanks for the link, I will use this video in my homeschool this year.
