FESS PARKER ON INDIANS

“Well, I think there’s no question about it. It’s a very disgraceful aspect of our country’s history, past, present, and I’m afraid into the future. We have not yet faced up to what was done, what was promised with unbroken promises. But I don’t think really, we should be too hard on ourselves because we’re only a little over 200 years old, and while it’s been hard on certain segments of our population, I think things are generally improving and understanding is growing.”
