At least in America, I would much rather have a bunch of pasture land than houses or any other urban development.

Reply to comment by Tsuyvtlv in TIL that when the French first arrived in North America they met the Ojibwe Indians who introduced them to other tribes but used nasty names. The Lakota/Dakota people were called "Nadowessiwag," which became Nadouessioux in French, then Sioux in English. It means "little snake." by marmorset

I have that exact poster in my room (got it because it said Revenge of the Jedi and I thought that was cool) and I went to check it, and I noticed it for the first time too.
