Incredible people, and we have nothing but shame on our sides. So much tragedy, and so much betrayal by our country. And then our Army tried to destroy their amazing horses for no other reason than they were mad at being "bested" in every way possible. So heartwrenchingly sad. I've been to Chief Josephs grave site and it is a very emotional place to be. Without a few wise individuals and God's intervention, we might not have this wonderful horse that we're honored to love and spend our lives with.

Canada wasn't exactly as benevolent as one could be lead to believe.<br />It's a shame all countries own, in one form or other. I hope one day we can all look at each other without judgement of "what" we are.<br />Who we are counts, nothing else.<br /><br />I truly believe in your breeding program of keeping the best of these horses available. It honours White Bird.<br />A belated honour, but better late than never.<br /><br />Some great movies were made in the 70's, I remember them vaguely ;)GoLightlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18283690734019490983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603513755231165590.post-36066896631301469462014-01-11T14:02:16.824-07:002014-01-11T14:02:16.824-07:00Cool!!

They left the night before Chief Joseph surrendered. They made it to the encampment where Sitting Bull was in Canada and lived the rest of their life there.Crickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00834640625999522559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603513755231165590.post-35318752974159602932014-01-11T11:45:02.611-07:002014-01-11T11:45:02.611-07:00Never heard of any of it .

What a great people they are. And that speech from Chief Joseph is the saddest speech that ever came from anyone. It always will be. He was a peaceful man who was treated terribly by the United States Government. They should be ashamed even today.RoeHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00131723337404316867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603513755231165590.post-22242570052456412632014-01-11T07:45:52.142-07:002014-01-11T07:45:52.142-07:00I remember when I was in school, still being a hor...I remember when I was in school, still being a horse fanatic ( well that has never gone ) I did a report on the Appaloosa horse and how they came to be.<br />I actually would like to see that movie, for the Native American aspect and the Appaloosa info. My great grand mother on my father side of the family was half Cherokee and I have always taken interest in Native American history and culture.Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02507537074005136610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603513755231165590.post-80944238407219948292014-01-11T07:04:42.643-07:002014-01-11T07:04:42.643-07:00I remember watching a movie about that journey but...I remember watching a movie about that journey but I don't think it was this one.
