About the treatment of the Native Americans by first the English and then by the US government, Dee Brown, author of “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee,” says, “They made many promises, more than I can remember, but they never kept but one; they promised to take our land, and they took it.” After having his people moved five times in the late 1800s, one Sioux chief said cynically, “I think you had better put the Indians on wheels and you can run them about whenever you wish.” In 2006, the office of the Assistant Secretary–Indian Affairs issued a Proposed Finding that included a historical overview of the Mashpee Wampanoags. In that finding, it is equally tragic to see the number of times the Massachusetts Legislature took away rights and freedoms from the Wampanoags and imposed upon them different forms of restrictive governing.
