The stories that may carry some of these traits are there because that is how the information was related to the public through the actual newspaper stories. Readers may recognize some of the common characters that present their own version of incidents with the newspapers.Notable characters include Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse (Sitting Bull's nephew), Geronimo, Victorio, Chief Joseph, Osceola, Stand Watie, Push-ma-ta-ha and more.There are many stories that involve abuse, heartbreak and mistreatment .... bear in mind these tragedies occurred on both sides (the White civilization and the Native civilization).Chief Standing Bear made an outstanding appeal to uphold the rights of the Native American. With a little persuasion from some prominent Politicians, he was able to sway popular opinion to grant rights to the Native American equal to those of the White men.
