General Howard informed me in a haughty spirit that he would give my people 30 days to go back home collect all their stock and move onto the reservation.

The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There's just a lot of distraction a lot of competition for the parent's voice to resonate in the children's ears.
