Ha! Idiot! Jamie Grubbs, one of the dumb bitches who self-proclaimed that she had slept with Tiger Woods, was arrested yesterday in Hollywood! Jaime was pulled over by police and was allegedly brought in on a suspended license charge. Her bail was set at $30,000. Police revealed that Jamie has two warrants (one for $26,000 and one for $2,500) out in Beverly Hills for driving on a suspended license, and a $1,809 warrant out of West Los Angeles for the same offense. Yikes! If only you had a rich sugar daddy you were screwing behind his wife's back that wasn't caught that could pay your bills! Oh well!

Native Americans suffered a collective tragedy over the course of the nineteenth century. But their stories cannot be simply condensed into one master narrative of defeat and decimation. To understand what happened to "The American Indian," we need to look at the lives of the many Indians––and whites––that contributed to this multi-faceted story.

In 1783, the United States was a new nation of about 3 million people living, for the most part, along the Atlantic seaboard. Native Americans, perhaps numbering around 600,000, controlled most lands west of the Appalachian Mountains. By 1890, a bit more than a century later, the United States stretched from coast to coast and was home to some 66 million people. Only 250,000 Indians remained, most of them living on reservations holding just a fraction of the land they once controlled.
