This is truly fascinating. Thank you for making and posting this video. I didn't know about the treaty cloth. I think is amazing that it is still being given today. Not taking a lump sum of money was definitely the right thing to do. Having to keep to the original requirements of the treaty helps keep the purpose of the treaty alive. It's unfortunate im just now learning about this. Every American should be educated on Native American history. It's as much a part of our past as it is our present and future. I think it's a travesty the history of the Native American people are not part of the American school curriculum. I know it is in some schools in a limited basis. It's not enough.
