In a previous post I complained about Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman's writers glossing over the Sand Creek Massacre. I have continued to watch the show and retract some of what I said. The writers are feeding in bits of information about the massacre and other attitudes toward the Cheyenne culture. I will give credit where credit is due; for an entertainment program, it's addressing issues of that day that still exist in America's present. The writers of Dr. Quinn did what they could.
Although sometimes I think Americans need less subtlety, more sledgehammer to get the truth across.
