Thanks.

Ooooh, I'd loooove that! Then again, King Arthur was one of the first books I remember owning, so I'm probably a little biased.

Have there been revitalizations of the bison following traditions the plains nations had to give up to go on reservation? I know presently that the bison themselves have become the subjects of conservation efforts, and also apparently domestication efforts?

Free to be like me or free to be subservient to me or free to leave.

Oh of course not. Thomas Jefferson bought the land from the French, which meant that it was clearly ours now. The inhabitants didn't even have a proper flag (Eddie Izard has a great skit on this), so clearly _they_ couldn't own it, but the French _did_ have a flag and they were our friends at the time, and so we respected Napoleon's claim to the land, and when they sold it that made it ours. Obviously that makes the existing non-flag inhabitants squatters and our freedom to manifest our destiny is endangered by them, which means that they have to be pushed out. *sarcasm hopefully communicated*

I have an idea for a pop culture related extra history series, maybe one the origins of jazz, or maybe the evolution of Robin Hood or King Arthur.

For somewhere that styles itself as the "Land of The Free," the U.S. doesn't seem to have been too bothered about using force to oppressing people over the course of its history.
