I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood.

-John Brown, December 2, 1859.

This photograph, taken in 1948, shows a man in a suit and tie weeping in front of a news camera.

His name was George Gillette.

Those tears were not tears of fear.

Those were tears shed out of helplessness and the inability to do anything about it.

He was the leader of the Mandan, Arikala, and Hidatsa tribes, and that day he was being forced to sign an agreement with the U.S. government to hand over his ancestral lands.

The purpose was to build a dam on the Missouri River.

That signature meant that over 600 square kilometers of land homes, schools, churches, fertile fields—would all be permanently submerged underwater.

Gillette understood.

What I'm selling isn't just land.

It is the very memory of the people.

But he had no choice.

If they refused to sign, the tribe would receive no compensation whatsoever.

His tear-stained face remains one of the most powerful records, symbolizing the wounded dignity experienced by Native Americans.

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?

Don't become a housewife.
