The Tall Man1960

Henrietta Russel:
Why are you out to skin these folks?

Mike Gray Eagle:
You really want to know?

Henrietta Russel:
Yes!

Mike Gray Eagle:
My people had their lands taken from them. They were herded onto a reservation your government thought good enough for them. They were given hoes and rakes to till a land that could not grow good weeds. They were a proud people, but they agreed to a treaty that humbled them. The brave ones, Geronimo was one, took a course of vengeance against the whites.

Henrietta Russel:
What about you?

Mike Gray Eagle:
Me? I just went to the white man's school and learned his ways. I found you could scalp a man without lifting his hair - just lift his pocketbook. It hurts more.
