Stockbridge-Munsee Indians

Description

Stockbridge-Munsee Indians hurl historical betrayal into the White House lobby through Maggie and Jack's unyielding sit-in, gripping the 1856 Treaty's forced Wisconsin relocation and Dawes Act's savage land carve—from 46,000 acres slashed to 11,000 under mocking 'civilization' edicts. Their desperate press for restitution and visibility shatters C.J.'s defenses, Maggie's extinction forecast ('gone in two generations') amplifying systemic erasure as activists leverage last stands against institutional silence.
