There are monuments throughout this country for many people
whom have helped shape this country but I say that there should be a monument
depicting some of the great Native American Indian Ancestors that fought
and died to keep this land pure so that the Buffalo could roam, the Eagle
could soar, and their future generations could carry on their traditions.
A monument indeed but not in a mountainside but in the books and teachings
to our children and their children. A monument in our hearts and in our
minds. Let those courageous Chiefs and Warriors not be forgotten. Not a
Mount Rushmore, there should be a continued effort in protecting the Mother
earth which they walked on and left preserved in its natural state to honor
the forebearers of this great land. Maybe one day All Native Americans
will push for a National holiday for those ancestors of the past to celebrate
the memory of those great Chiefs and Warriors who were largely responsible
for making this land a great place to live. Without the past, there would
not be no today and without today there will be no tomarrow. Let them not
be forgotten for they were all of greatness!
