- The 7 P.M. program is open to the public, free, with the hope that we will become more interested in a significant national event that took place on Fort Omaha. In the trial, Judge Dundy not only declared Indians to be persons in the view of U.S. law, but stated that they had a right to emigrate from their nation to ours, as could any person from another nation. That changed history..and who we are.
- Please invite others who may be interested to come.
