    I live in Minnesota, but in the late 70s I spent a fair amount of time in Oklahoma. I heard that there were reservations on oil fields.  I thought “Well isn’t that the best.  The US sent the Natives off to desolate places that were undesirable until they weren’t!” I should have known better.  That the Whites would find a way to cheat the Natives out of even that advantage!

    I read this book several years ago, but it might be time to read it again. I think this information is so important.  I hope the movie does it justice.
