Today I put up the first part of the book Century of Dishonor, the rest will follow over the next few days. I have had this book for some time and read it and re-read it, trying to make up my mind if I should put it online or not. I have always felt it was an important book, but wondered how people would handle the truths in this book. I hope after you read about the tribe that is of the most interest to you, you will take a little extra time and read about the other tribes. You are welcome to pass the pages on to others. If you have comments on the book, please email me at [email protected] Please remember one thing, these are not my words, but history of our people. http://www.nanations.com/century-of-dishonor.htm Thanks Judy

Halito Judy: Unfortunately many of these same activities and crimes continue today. In my studies I have more recently focused on recent and current events. It would amaze you how terrible the people are being treated by the government, powerful corporations and citizens of the U.S. in recent and current times. I believe that the only way to resolve this is through truth telling by activists and the press, and accurate historical education of the children of the U.S. Unfortunately, the press is owned by many of the corporations which have participated in the horrible treatment of the people. This is a very difficult problem as there is tremendous oppression by the government and corporations to prevent the truth from being told. For example, the U.S. has been found to be in violation of International human rights laws in the Western Shoshone case. You don't hear about this because very powerful governmental and corporate interests are involved, and they have the power to influence what the media will cover. Although I am not a young person anymore, I have decided to do something I have wanted to do for the past several years. I have decided to go back to school and pursue a double major in Native American Studies and law. I then would like to pursue advanced degrees in both areas. After I accomplish these goals I wish to advocate for the people in every way possible through every possible means of communication. I would like to eventually work for one of the native legal organizations and use every legal means necessary to redress these wrongs. I would also like to teach. Of course, in the mean time I will communicate these things in every forum I can find. Truth telling is an extremely important part of a strategy to address these dilemmas. At some point one must decide to have the courage to stand up and be counted. I am not a young person anymore, but I must do what I have to do. One thing that I do still possess, is intelligence and the ability to communicate. I will use those abilities in the best possible ways that I can to work for native people. If I have somehow spoken out of turn, I apologize and I will not speak of this again. You see, I agree with Judy that this is an important book and it inspired me to speak of the wrongs being perpetrated against the people in the recent past and current times. Good for you Judy!
