Reading the news from American colleges and universities, professors at these leftist indoctrination centers are inclined to make America sound less like a nation than a crime scene.
When Native Americans enter the discussion, the script is especially predictable: “colonialism,” grievance, lecture, repeat. History includes real wrongs, and honest people shouldn’t hide them. But history also contains courage, loyalty, and sacrifice.
So, on this Columbus Day, I wanted to highlight the remarkable Native American love for this country and its warrior culture.
This post is inspired by a video shared by Mike “Wild Horse” Kobe.
Kobe, a retired Green Beret, describes himself as a Comanche-American who covers military and frontier history.
It shows the Veterans Grand Entry at the 2026 Black Hills Powwow in Rapid City: Native dancers and veterans entering an arena behind a forest of American, tribal, and military flags. Kobe’s caption notes that the Northern Cheyenne, Arapaho, Dakota, and Lakota fought the U.S. Army and that their ancestors defeated Custer. Then come four simple words: “This is them. Today.”
