COT:
Sitting Bull toured with Wild Bill Hickok who did Wild West tours stopped in NYC and did not understand how people would not help beggars on the street. He gave away all his money to beggars because he did not find his security in it. Think about where we find our security- are we really free? Or held to our shallow assumptions of security?
There were/are over 500 known nations in the US lands. This is a very small sample size and I encourage you to read/educate yourself further.
