  Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer found gold in the Black Hills of South Dakota in 1874.  Six years prior, the U.S. had signed a treaty with the Sioux, agreeing that the Hills belonged to the tribe.  So the U.S. of course tried to buy the hills after learning what the land was "worth"- and of course the Sioux refused to sell.  To them it was sacred ground, and they would not give that up; so the U.S. inevitably forced the Sioux onto reservations.  What one does not surrender to the colonizers, one will have taken away by complete domination- even today, though in somewhat different forms.  Flash forward to 2010, and it's the same story repeated, this time in the shape of wind turbines and greedy politicians and businessmen, and "green" activists who always think they know best...
  Throwing these links out there for anyone who's interested in the Cape Wind controversy~ It's been busybusybusy lately so I don't have time to blog as often as I wish, but I'll be back at it as soon as possible! Peace.
