Buffalo Soldier
As noted in this post at Mohawk Nation News, buffalo soldiers today -- as they did during the period after the American Civil War -- are tools of white power over indigenous peoples. From the 10th Cavalry that murdered plains Indians, to Pentagon patsies like Colin Powell, they sold their soul to the white master for a piece of the genocidal action. Even Barack Obama, although not a military figure, might be considered a buffalo soldier in spirit as he betrays indigenous peoples foreign and domestic.
