What are you talking about? In the US, there is a Holocaust Memorial Museum, but there is no museum or monument in memory of the victims of the genocide of the American Indians.

yes, there are. More than one. Come over for a visit, I'll take you to one I know of. We can gamble afterwards, there's an Indian casino nearby.

now, bear in mind, we in America have museums to EVERYTHING. There's even a Creationism museum, based on strict interpretation of the Bible, that is full of complete fiction(man, dinosaur, living in harmony, etc). There is a museum nearby for Blue Crabs and Watermen, a museum of Cocktail History in New Orleans, and a museum of Sex in New York. It's a great nation, far more inclusive than some might presume from just reading here.....

Is the museum dedicated to the victims of Stalin's "Great Purge" any more impressive?

Do you know why most beautiful girls in the world is the Russian girls? Because Russian never called witches beautiful girls and we not burned them in the fires of the Inquisition for several hundred years as in the West.

No, that's not all, sigma.

I grew up in Oklahoma (a state which was once made up of reservations, known simply as "the Indian Territories"), where people are very, very aware of the history. There are numerious museums, art and history installments, annual events, etc. dedicated to the Native American people. I've personally been to a number of them, including the Cherokee National Museum in Tahlequah, where the culture is still celebrated, and the "Trail of Tears" exhibits are absolutely heart-wrenching.

[ Don't assume that Americans don't know their own history. And I won't assume that Russians don't know theirs. ]

I'd imagine the history of Native Americans is at least touched upon in this little museum, too.

(I think they were still building it last time I was in DC, so unfortunately I haven't been. Love the architectural style though.)

A US Army soldiers can not leave except with the territory of a military base on the weekend and cook a barbecue in the back of the car and drink beer?
