Let's see. The Native Americans were the indigenous peoples of this continent for hundreds, perhaps thousands of years. Then the "white man" came along, stole the entire continent, broke every treaty ever signed, engaged in the largest genocide in history (~80,000,000), and then consigned the remaining survivors to "reservations," which the government then neglected. And now it will not even honor the critical spiritual wishes of these people...BECAUSE IT NEEDS TO MAKE SNOW FOR A RESORT!!! This is beyond Kafka-esque: it is out and out insanity!!!
