I like the clarity you provide to explain your point and how this was even possible. I find myself shaking my head in disbelief at the lengths people will go to remain in power...

I appreciate knowing you found clarity even though this is a confusing and complicated set of circumstances.

What great research and a clear line of reasoning, cause and effect, you’ve laid out. I’m glad you’re getting those outside documents to help unravel this important and historically relevant story.

It is interesting to see how these seemingly minor events are compounded over time with ramifications no one could have ever foreseen.

A good reminder that the policies made by governments often have unintended consequences over time, and the weight of those consequences more often than not falls on folks just going about life and minding their own business.

Thank you for taking readers, like me, on this complex journey about the Red Lake Nation. You've done an amazing amount of research and had a few willing helpers with precious documents saved from the past. I can only imagine that Red Lake Nation members are grateful to have their story told. My mind is spinning about stolen power and resources, so I'll need to read this again to make sure I have it straight.

It's a humbling experience to realize so much of what I thought I knew had been so twisted or erased over time.
