An Aberdeen, South Dakota newspaper wrote an editorial just 6 days after the massacre at Wounded Knee calling for the total annihilation of all Sioux Indians. His name was L. Frank Baum and he later wrote a book called The Wizard of Oz. His call for genocide of the Sioux was comparable to the call for the slaughter of the Jews in a book penned by Adolph Hitler called “Mein Kampf.” Baum is honored all over America for his wonderful children’s book even though he was a promoter of genocide. The hatred and guilt associated with America’s feelings about American Indians precludes the condemnation of L. Frank Baum because after all it was no crime in 1890 to kill Indians.
