On the heels of a Paris auction house withdrawing from sale an Acoma Pueblo shield, a Dallas-based house is set to auction off more than 100 items from Pine Ridge and Rosebud reservations, including three cavalry guns used in the Wounded Knee Massacre and two pipes. Heritage Auctions plans to open its Legends of the West auction on June 11. The lot contains more than 400 items, including everything from letters and photographs to weapons, beadwork and even a scalp lock. Starting bids range from copy, for a wig used in an old Wild West show, to copy2,500 for an autograph book containing signatures from both James Butler Hickok (“Wild Bill”) and William F. Cody (“Buffalo Bill”). |

Those items should be given back to the tribes they were taken from.
The Sand Creek and Wounded Knee massacres, the mass execution of the 38+2 and the attempts to erase Native Culture are absolute shameful stains on American history. |

TO REMEMBER |
| A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear. ~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C) |
