I am addressing this to the moderator, through this list, because I do not know how to contact him/her. I believe, probably like most on this list, that as far as Roots-web is concerned, this discussion is for the discussion of genealogy in the Indian Territories, just like it would be for Oklahoma as a state, but for the time period when it was a territory, before statehood. Having said that, we should be open to all discussions of RESOURCES available to research our ancestors who lived in Indian Territory, be they white, red or green. Political discussions should be sent to one of the sociologically related groups, and there are plenty of them there. I have seen the moderator step in on other issues, and feel it is time to start reviewing some of these issues. I am tempted to just unsubscribe, but I really do need help in researching my CURTIS, AARON, THOMPSON lines in Indian Territory, and would like to get what I can out of this list without wading through the finger pointing. Thanks. Cindy Bolinger
