Buffalo Slaughter: The State of Montana kills 60% of the Yellowstone's buffalo herd.
Big Mountain: Hopi Force Eviction of Navajo from ancestral lands.
The Nashville TN-NFL Stadium: the new home of the National Football Leagues' Houston Oilers, threatens native burials in Nashville, TN.
New York State Governor Pataki gives up effort to tax Indians, but he still isn't Mr. Nice Guy.

Memorial Day:

Remembering those native ancestors who:
were victims of the Spanish quest for Gold, Glory, and God;
died from European diseases;
died in the many Indian wars protecting their families, homes and ways of life;
died in the Trail of Tears and other Indian exoduses;
were disturbed in their burials.
