See Sioux and the Banshee!

[lordandrei]

Yesterday the Sioux nation dropped a bomb on the United States that more than decimated a 5 state area in the northern central plains. It pretty much destroyed Nebraska, took away the famed Devil's Tower (from Close Encounters) and almost affected Iowa.

Horrors!

Oh, wait.. Maybe I'm overreacting.

Let's look at what really happened.

Mixtzampico,

Wow. I'd never heard of the game or read the timeline, but I guess I will have to, now. I love "alternative history" thingies.

Drawing attention to the despicable conditions in which the Lakota live, or rather survive, is a noble goal.

This desperate attempt by Means to do so is not the way to achieve that goal.

I haven't had time to properly research this yet myself but once the pace slows a bit, I'm on it. :o)

I think you've called it. Sadly, the Lakota (that's how the Lakota Language Department at the University of Nebraska spells it) nation doesn't seem willing to unite to stand up for itself. Once a month a group of people from Lincoln, mostly Nebraskans for Peace, go to Whiteclay (a Nebraska town just across the state line from the Rosebud Reservation, which sells more alcohol than Lincoln) to protest the sale of alcohol to the Lakota. The Lakota who join in are always the same dozen or so. The Lakota, in brief, seem as able to join together for their own self-interest as the Democrats

GoogleFight says it's the Lakota spelling, by a landslide.
