DESCRIPTION:The Origins of the US Military in the Indian Wars - A Presentation\nBy 
 Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz\n Professor Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz in this talk will 
 look at the history of the U.S. military in expanding U.S. imperial 
 interests and establishing a state based on genocide and slavery. \n The 
 military built by the colonies that coalesced into the independent U.S. 
 military developed out of continual genocidal wars against Native nations 
 in taking the continent during the first 100 years. President Garfield in 
 the Compromise of 1877 moved troops from the South, to stop the St. Louis 
 Commune, which was established to support the national strike of railroad 
 workers against wage cuts. \n The military, with 3,000 federal troops and 
 5,000 deputized special police, killed at least eighteen people in St. 
 Louis. The commune included not only railroad workers and other unionists 
 but also African Americans and Native Americans. The Missouri senators who 
 called for the military were themselves shareholders in the railroads that 
 were being struck. \n Sponsored by the Women’s International League for 
 Peace & Freedom\nSee
