Has hell frozen over?! I saw this story today about an Indian woman winning damages against the government after being assaulted by an Army recruiter. The Fort Laramie Treaty of 1868 requires the government to compensate her for lost income, emotional distress, and pain and suffering. I wonder why the Sioux Indians would want that language in the treaty. There must've been a few incidents back in the mid-1860's for them to want that added. The US finally honored a treaty! Amazing! Now if they finally give them back the Black Hills, it will be even more amazing!
