I grew up in Black Hawk County, Iowa. But the history of the land was not taught in my school. We never learned of the atrocities that occurred so I could grow up in a house on an idyllic street lined with trees. It makes one wonder who truly are the savages. Black Hawk assessed the situation correctly when he said "How smooth must be the language of the whites, when they can make right look like wrong and wrong like right".

I am ashamed of us white people! I have always heard how the Native American's were treated when they were forced off their lands, murdered and tortured in the late 1800's-early 1900's, but I was hoping it was exaggerated. Black Hawk tells his account with great integrity. He speaks respectfully of "The Great Spirit" who is the center of His life and that of His people's. I kept thinking of the promises made to them in the Book Of Mormon and that helps me feel better.
