   Comments: Both perspectives of historical facts should be taught in history classes. The Oklahoma land run is definitely not a milestone in Oklahoma history that merits celebration by Oklahoma Indian People.

   Comments: When historical information is presented to us from one side and later the voice that was hampered by the hierarchal structure of the time is heard it is natural to want to change any dehumanizing actions that are disclosed to prevent further hardships.

   Comments: I totally agree with this position; however, a compromise might be to require an emphasis that Native American land was actually taken (fraudulently) by the federal government, NOT the people who participated in the Land Run. I stress this point in my US history classes and make sure students are aware of the offensiveness of the Land Run celebration to Native American Oklahomans. Carolyn Cuskey

    Comments: Our people are used to being raised around events and actions like these that no one feels it's a big deal any more. That saddens my heart to know that our own people dont feel it's necessary to take action and make the changes for our children...

    Comments: I simply hate it when I think of the way our Land was given away, just given away. They transplanted the Indians to Oklahoma from all directions...then they proceeded to take even that away from us....The Oklahoma Land Run is a slap in the face to all Native American who live here....I also detest the SOONERS FOOTBALL LOGO, the Sooners were the bad landrunners who snuk in and staked their claim illegally, which in fact is all the White People who took part in the Land Run.... .

    Comments: These 'land run re-enactments' are an embarrassment and a travesty. Anniversaries of such occasions should be times of reflection and sorrow not 'celebration'. Being honest about past behavior is painful but necessary...time to quit pretending.
