Critics demand CNN fire Rick Santorum for saying nothing was in America before white colonizers arrived
The former GOP senator and CNN commentator is under fire for saying there was nothing here when colonizers arrived I mean, yes, we have Native Americans, but candidly, there isn’t much Native American culture in American culture, he said
Native Americans had been living in North America for thousands of years when Columbus arrived
Iroquois confederacy influenced colonies
Influences extend from agriculture to culture and language
Santorum said he had no intention of minimizing or in any way devaluing Native American culture
HERMOSA It has been 57 years since Billy Mills won his gold medal at 10,000 meters in Tokyo, and for two decades before he ran, and for over four decades after he ran, Native runners were the dominant force in South Dakota distance running. That is no longer the case.
It is not just that individual performance has waned, or that teams stopped being competitive, it is much worse than that. The cross country programs across Indian Country have flat-lined. Participation is on life support and it is hard to blame the kids, the coaches, the schools, given how deeply competitiveness has deteriorated.

City of Residence: Killeen
1. What was your upbringing like, what is your education level, and what brought you to the Killeen area?
I was born and raised in Killeen and spent my entire childhood attending KISD. I attended Harker Heights Elementary, Eastern Hills Middle School, Killeen High School and Harker Heights High School, where I graduated in 2002. I was fortunate enough to earn a scholarship to play football at the University of North Texas, where I earned a degree in Business Economics. It was also at UNT where I met my wife, Erin Mills, who now works as a Parent Educator for Killeen ISD. Shortly after graduating from college, we decided to move back to the only place Iâve called home and raise a family here in Killeen.

Former Dinwiddie player, miltary veteran works to turn Generals into leaders By Marc Davis | March 16, 2021 at 11:29 PM EDT - Updated March 17 at 10:47 PM
RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - It might seem like a lifetime ago to Matthew Bradford. A Dinwiddie football player, he took the field for the Generals under the Friday night lights, slightly before the days of consistent success they are experiencing now.
The connection, the camaraderie, the discipline- all things that stand out to Bradford about his time in a Dinwiddie uniform.
After graduating in 2005, he’d turn that in for another uniform, enlisting in the United States Marine Corps after graduation. Bradford would eventually find himself in Iraq, stationed in one of the more dangerous parts of the country at that time. That’s when everything changed.
