It looks as though they're reservation types who gave up scalping and hunting to dig in the dirt, and accept the USGOV allotment. Hell of a way to end up...on welfare. And of course, many of their ancestors still are.
It seems odd to me that most of the indian pics I see are of old guys. Old for the time, 40s, 50s. Were all the young bucks out scalping and looting, too busy for a picture?
no, they were killed by the US Government. by 1895, killed off two entire generations of young men and women of the tribes. old men and a few babies were all that were left...
