In nebraska, they had a great presence in nebraska. And other groups moved through the plains or occupied portions of the plains out west, say, the cheyenne for example. The groups moving down say from the dakotas. We also had along the Missouri River the missourian, the winnebago, the omaha, and the ponca. I would venture to guess we had 300,000, 400,000 objects. Many of the great plains items were as i mentioned collected after the civil war when euroamericans came out to the great plains. If they were surveying for railroads, if they were establishing missions, even in terms of military, they would collect various items of material culture. We have those in our gallery. As well as about 98 of our collections are housed elsewhere. In a museum, you typically dont see more then 2 3 of the collections that are on public display. In the planning for the gallery, we work collaboratively with the number of native americans. This is important because historically we see a lot of times museu
My choice was to get as close to the action in vietnam as i possibly could. I was writing features about kids from fort worth. It is the single most rewarding thing i ever did in all my years in journalism because this would brighten up their day that someone from their hometown would look them up.

I was very jingoistic when i got there in the beginning. When i got back, i was convinced the war, whatever our good intentions, simply could not be won. Part of the reason i have always done it is a sense of wanting to be where the action is. In the bigger theater, we cast a light in dark corners around the world that you would not see without photographers. So, t

On the half of the board of trustees of the linden and Baine Johnson foundation, i welcome you to the vietnam war summit. Last day, Henry Kissinger said on the stage, in a debate that is bound to generate discussions, that he does not blame u. S. Policy for the quagmire of the vietnam war. Instead, he thinks the massive split in Public Opinion is what theed the conflict to end way it did.

I see this young man come younger than i, cut down. You say to yourself, this is someones son, someones brother, someones husband. When youre there, you let your and you out for second will not be able to do what you need to do. Dan rather, cbs news. Lifetimeew people in a get to see this as an observer. Inside the main pagoda. A tank is around the corner. 30 yards. Show him and tell him the best you can what it is like, what it is really like. Someone is firing on the tank. As opposed to someone imagines it is like or is telling them it is like. A lot of people believe what soldiers fear in combat is death. They do fear death, but that is not the big fear.
