In 1832,
Black Hawk correctly observed: You know the cause of our making war. It
is known to all white men. They ought to be ashamed of it.The
government of the United States knows the reasons for our going to its capital
city. Unfortunately, they don't know how to greet us. We go because America has
been only too ready to express shame, and suffer none from the expression -
while remaining wholly unwilling to change to allow life for Indian people.
