A national examination of conscience about the treatment native Americans have received since the "Old World" discovered and conquered the "New World" is long overdue. Our nation must also admit to the overuse, misuse and abuse of natural resources which has been motivated by profit, disregarding the common good and the ecological health of our nation and the world. Admittedly, it may  sound like a political complaint, but the fact is that natural resources and native Americans have been trumped by capitalistic corporate interests.
