DC. - BLACK TEARS FOR RED TEARS: As the weary, distraught, tired and sweaty band o f Indians marched through the Washington ghetto on the way to the White House, the watching Blacks must have shared the pain and hurt in their red faces. They must have sensed the plain desperation in their irregular stride and the grim determination to keep the Great W hite Fathers >■ Washington from passing legislation to cut o ff Indian survival; ending all treaties with the Indians and closing down already despicable reser vations W het her the Blacks knew it or not; their own ancestors had been critically involved with the red man for three hundred years. Like the marching Indians, Blacks have problems with the same proposed sites of the Indian demonstrations: The Supreme Court, The Congress and the White House. Today the total population of American Indians is not more than a million The rolling hills, the well supplied streams, the lush forests and the plentiful game are gone The earth they so deeply respected (they prayed and apologized when they made the slightest necessary hole in it) has been dynamited, bull-dozed, d rilled, paved and burned. The reservations they bve on are barren, unsanitary, ill-equipped for living schooless and foodless. They were like scary monuments to the white man's lasting bitterness and hatred . . . his vengeance. This showed in the faces of the men, women and children who inarched And the march is highly symbolical; it is the beginning and the end of a highly effective and vigorous move toward Indian reunification . . . the type of struggle Blacks have known for more than a hundred years. Blacks must, indeed, feel sympathetic Because up until 160 years ago their ancestors were taken from rich fertile lands, their sustaining herds, streams of fishes, and their thousand year old cultures. These Black slaves missed their land as they were inarched through the odd, new and strange smelling American country side. Their faces, too, earned the pain and the hurt. Little has been revealed about the positive inter-relationships between Blacks and Indians over the four hundred years they have been in America together. Not to mention the Black explorers with the Spanish and Blacks w ho were here hundreds of years before Columbus There were tribes which were especially friendly like the Choctaws and branches o f the Cherokee and others; who took in escaped Black slaves and protected them from slavecatchers and bounty hunters. There were slaveholding Indians who freed their Blacks when Lincoln announced his Em ancipation Proclamation They were made full members of the tribes. Vast tracts of lands owned by Blacks past and present » part of this heritage Free Blacks moved among Indian tnhes and some became chiefs and elders The Seminóles of Florida was an exceptional case. They welcomed runaway Blacks from Georgia and C arolina plantations during the sixteen and seventeen hundreds. They welcomed the Blacks’ skill at farming and cattieraising; much of which had been brought from Africa. One of the most promising cooperatives in the Western Hemisphere was underway until General Andrew Jackson, responding io Georgians' demand for recaptured slaves and the desire for the rich Florida lands, waged war.

It was near Bear V alley, Arizona, twenty-five miles west of Nogales, Mexico. Blacks should feel a tinge of guilt because they are significant in all levels of government and can raise a voice fo r the red man. It is unbelieveable that less than ten years ago, U .S. broke a treaty with the Seneca Indians of New York. And, if anybody should know about the hurt of broken promises. Blacks should. The Indians march on Washing ton is a reminder of the past Ameri ca cannot forget . . . nor should be allowed to. For Blacks, the kinship of hurt and suffering should urge 25 million Black hands to reach out and touch one million red hands.

And the cooperative collapsed Blacks should feel somewhat ashamed because the 9th and 10th Cavalries and the 24th In fa n try Regiment fought some of the most awesome battles against the Indians.
