<BODY style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff">Kudos to you for saying what I for one and I'm sure others may have been thinking. I have an entry by one of my ancestors in the Prineville area saying what a great sight it was to see hundreds of the local native population rounded up in some sort of corral, waiting to be taken to a newly formed reservation. (Probably on some God forsaken land with little water and less vegetation or wildlife.) I shuddered when I read it, disappointed that one of my ancestors would take pleasure in such a sight. I don't care what they did or who they may or may not have attacked --- I would do the same if someone came and took my home and property away, telling me it was no longer mine and that I couldn't live there anymore. It was just one of several very sad chapters in our county's history. Midge</BODY></HTML>
