One of them was the last of the Wahpepah tribe. She kept her last name on being married, and her kids were named Harris-Wahpepah, just so the tribe wouldn't die out immediately.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255542706153393206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8498840600741973651.post-52731417671604984632013-03-08T10:32:09.220-06:002013-03-08T10:32:09.220-06:00Living in Arizona in the 1990s I heard those same ...Living in Arizona in the 1990s I heard those same comments.

I mean I will always believe fighting against slavery was right, but the treatment of the Native Americans was SO BAD. The racism in the west lasted... STILL lasts... so long, too.
