Man, your getting good at these BTK! I like this one quite a bit, although the red stripes of the flag seem rather subdued...almost pink.
It certainly catches the eye though, and is good reminder on several levels - who the first Americans really were, and that now we are all Americans, one Nation, Indivisible...
Billy I'm not sure I would have superimposed the American flag on this shot particularly in that how bad many of them were treated. To make it much more culturally sensitive, I'd prolly include some of the reservation flags. Just a thought. Overall this is a really good collage.

By the way.... if I don't thank you by message or post, I doesn't mean I'm not truly grateful for your comments and suggestive insight in regards to my posts.
I totally agree with Joey. I always loved the Indians and sympathized with them. I usually don't make and don't like those "patriotic" pictures. They can be very good, buy I don't like the "content". That goes for my country, too.
A strong image... but I need to agree with Joey and Milka. My father worked on behalf of Native Americans so I learned early about how our national flag did not protect them... it seems a dichotomy.
