You might've asked us ! Why is the sky blue'! Your question, although cleverly bounced off of the moon, still comes from outer space.
There was a time when long Island was totally inhabited bby indians, no, not Microsoft's technical support division, but real native Americans, a
people who've been forgotten by us `settlers who'vce pushed them off of their land, In a life which changes by thje day or hour, why do you speak
of "ancient" times?, Yes, there are Indian bones scattered all over the island, chiefs, braves and squaws, the generation of American inhabitants who
got bought-out by"civilized" buyers, the Levitts and the Trumps, the Rockefellas and the Stuyvesants, the movers and shakers of our foundation.
Long Island not only has reservations, the last place in the state to buy tax-free cigarettes, but homes, laws and whats left of our respect for the
poor bastards who originally owned the very land that we live on. Diss any other minority and I'll understand your predjudice, diss a disadvantaged
native American Indian, and I'll never forgive you.

As a kid in the mid 40s my big brother took me through the. Field where the museum is today it was a big cow pasture and we found fools gold stones near the clif that over looks Hempstead harbor

Why is it spiteful? Does it make things happen? What can happen? There were many indians located in suffolk county, ny. They are burried there but where exactly? What is there now and what happens there? DO people travel there?

There are so many people buried throughout the world in unmarked graves that it's quite possible the place you are sitting right now has a corpse underneath. What can happen? How can it happen? Does it make things happen?

People are usually buried in graveyards and burial grounds for indians. They are not buried everywhere! Most places are ok unless you know. Are all the places identified that are indian burial grounds in long island?
