“Indian misery is when somebody takes your land. Indian misery is when somebody kills your friends. Indian misery is when your people turn against you. Indian misery is being slaves to people. Indian misery is being locked up in jail. Indian misery is people killing your food for money. Indian misery is fighting. Indian misery is no peace. Indian misery is when you get killed. Indian misery is if you lose the fight. (Andrew Herman, student)”
