    {EXCERPTED FROM On This Date In North American Indian History
    By Phil Konstantin

    1837: General Ellis Wool, has been assigned the task of preventing the CHEROKEEs from revolting after the passage of the New Echota Treaty on December 29, 1835. General Wool will try to get the CHEROKEEs to acquiesce to the treaty, but to no avail. Today he will report that opposition to the treaty is so prevalent, that starving CHEROKEEs will not take help from the government for fear that would imply their consent to the treaty. 
     

    RELEVANT LINKS:
     1861: The ARAPAHO and CHEYENNE sign a Black Kettle) treaty today at Fort Wise in southeastern Colorado on this date. The United States was represented by Albert Boone and F.B. Culver. It established a reservation bounded by Sand Creek and the Arkansas River. The Indians thought it would allow them the right to hunt freely outside of the reservation, but the treaty contained no such clause. Only 6 of the 44 CHEYENNE Chiefs were present to sign, Black Kettle being one. Other than the Indians who signed on this date, none would even sign it. The validity of the treaty would be contested for a long time. The fort would be renamed Fort Lyon.

    URGENT HEATING NEED WOUNDED KNEE DISTRICT..READ IT...

    UPDATE:
    Hi Ish.
    Here is the information on Gordon Propane
    They will take checks or money orders and the minimum amount is $135.00 for 
    100 gallons. 
    Their address is......Gordon Propane
                                  P.O. Box 58,
                                  Gordon, Nebraska,
                                69343
                                 Ph: 308-282-1725

    the other one is Blue Gas but they recommend sending to PTI which is 
    interesting . She told me they cant afford to travel 30 miles to the rez all over the place to deliver propane so think that lets out Blue Gas. Looks like Gordon is the best one......  Bennetts are having problems and so is PTI with drivers apparently. 
    all my best:-)
