Saw this article this morning<\/a> & thought you might have fun with it. I
could see a headline like “White colonialists invade Native American
land and destroy culturally sensitive structures”. The article
mentions that the land belongs to the Leech Lake band and the
structures involved belonged to Native Americans<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
