Here's a horrid fact few know about Native Americans.
"Christians" come onto the reservations as late as the 1960's and forcibly took infants from their mothers to be raised in "proper Christians homes" away from the debauchery of the "pagan lifestyle" of the heathen natives.
I have a friend who was taken and was adopted/ raised by a Caucasian family. She was able to contact her mother later in life and her mother never recovered from the trauma or having her child lawfully abducted.

some great leaders:
1. SITTING BULL (TATANKA YOTANKA) 1834 - 1890.
Leader of the Sioux tribe (Hunkpapa), born in the region of Grand River in present-day South Dakota. Under his leadership, the Sioux resisted efforts of the U.S. government to annex their lands and force them to settle on reservations...
2.GERONIMO (GOYATHLAY) 1829 - 1909.
Leader of the Chiricahua tribe of North American Apache Indians, born in present-day Clifton, Arizona. After his wife, children, and mother were killed by Mexicans in 1858, he participated in a number of raids against Mexican and American settlers, but eventually settled on a reservation. Later in life he adopted Christianity and took part in the inaugural procession of President Theodore Roosevelt in 1905.
He dictated his memoirs in "Geronimo's Story of His Life" published in 1906.
3.CRAZY HORSE (TASHUNCAHUITCO) 1849 - 1877.
Leader of the Oglala tribe of the Sioux, known for his part in the Sioux uprising of 1875 - 1877. In 1875 he joined forces with Sitting Bull. Both leaders defeated a column of the 7th Cavalry commanded by Col. George A. Custer in the Battle of the Little Bighorn.
