Way West

I watched the first part of the program "Way West" last night
and thought it was done very well.

As a Anglo person, it made me quite angry and still does about
how the U.S. cavalry viewed and treated the native cultures in
this country. It makes me ashamed to be a white person!!!!
Hopefully there were some Anglos that treated and viewed
the native peoples as humans.

I'm curious to hear others' responses to the program or anything
else that's needed to be said.

Thanks,

Tim McElhenie
