ShannonI know very basic things about how our government has treated Native Americans, but the horrors that the Osage dealt with was more detail for me. It was mentioned that Hale only got a life sentence vs death, because Indians weren’t considered humans. You want to think that’s horrible, but it’s not surprising when you think about our history. The whole guardianship thing was something I learned, but again, that wasn’t too surprising either.
