My emotional visit to Little Big Horn and other battlefields this past summer:

Great post Beth. I visited the Little Big Horn battlefield in 2014 and had much the same reaction you did. Mine came, I think, from the fact that I had just had my DNA done and found out I'm 20% Native American. Why people do this to others just baffles me, but it's gone on forever all over the world. I'm afraid humans will never change.

Wish I could remember my visit there in '66 with my Mom. I'd like to visit again.
Sandi who did you choose to do your DNA, I'm thinking about doing that.

Velda, I had my DNA done by Ancestry.com.

Thank you Sandi! That's the one that was top of my list, though I know someone who has had all, three major companies do hers. She also recommended Ancestry as a place to start.

My cousin did hers on Ancestry because that's where she does her genealogy. If you aren't intending to do that, I don't think it matters.

Those kinds of places where you can immerse yourself in the historical events are very moving.

The history always moves me, and my great grandfather
was Indian from n Carolina, but that tribe is extinct now.
My great grandmother and father did the Oklahoma land grab thing
and therefore my mothers side is from Oklahoma.
