The Native American Historical Truth Association (NAHTA) is sponsoring a 1st Amendment Event to be held on, June 13, 1999. The rally is being held to stop the re-erection of the monument to honor Tom Quick. The plans include drumming, dancers, and speakers to show that "Indians are people too", in a very racist town.

Tom Quick was a frontiersman in the 1700s who saw his father killed by a moving band of Indians (Shawnee, it is believed) at the end of the French Indian Wars. He vowed to take revenge and kill as many Indians as he could in his lifetime, which he did do during peacetime, including; men, women, and children, totaling 99 people. Quick begged for one more on his death bed to make it an even 100.

Quick was the first man to use germ warfare, he got smallpox infested blankets and gave them to the neighboring tribes. He, himself, contracted smallpox and died from it. The Indians cut him up and passed his bones around to prove to the tribes that the murderer was dead, which spread the disease, so he actually did wind up killing more than 100 Indian people.

The town of Milford put up a monument in his honor in the 1800s, actually it was a descendent of Tom Quick's who errected the original monument. People protested, but there were not enough voices. The monument was vandalized in 1997 and the town intends to have a re-dedication ceremony in August 1999.

This monument condones violence, murder, and racism. It's time for that to stop, however, Milford doesn't want to let go of their history, even if it is bad.

People from all over the world, including Japan, have signed a petition to stop this monument from being re-erected. A pro-bono lawyer's help is needed. A lawyer who could file a decree to stop this monument forever, because the borough president and the people are only telling untruths about 'tabling' the re-erection of the monument. The rally is set for June 13, 1999. It is guessed they're waiting for the rally to be over.

            Petition Against Legendary Mass-Murderer
                        Honored by Milford, PA

                  A monument in Milford, Pennsylvania
            is about to be re-erected to honor Tom Quick,
            The Indian Slayer.
                  How can people honor and praise a man
            who assassinated the native people of the
            tri-state area?
                  How can people condone the actions of
            a mass murderer and teach our children that
            murdering and stealing from another group
            of people is a good thing.
                  We must all come together as Brothers and
            Sisters, Indians & non-Indians, to tell the true
            history of our ancestors and stop this monument
            dedicated to a madman from being re-erected.
