indians can't own reservation land. no one on the reservation can get a mortgage because the property on the reservation is held in trust by the federal government. most of it is also, quote, owned communally by the tribe. banks could never foreclose on the property because this bank cannot own reservation land. and there's a severe housing shortage. more families crowd into small trailer homes, a tribal college on one of these reservations and talking about possibility of expansion and they said we have to build up. i looked out the window at acres upon acres of empty space and they could never get a loan to build on that because that is land they don't already have in their, quote, possession. they are thinking about building the way they do it in new york city as opposed to montana. this is only part of the problem. more than a quarter of small business owners use home equity loans to start a business or finance an existing one but american indians do not have access to the capital which and those use their homes as

and, the land was settled by the people of the world.rom france, from england, from england, many settled on the east coast, where they grew in numbers and came to consider america their home. styles change in 100 years, and ideas change. the children of the settlers became dissatisfied. they began to talk of freedom, to talk of winning freedom peacefully, or fighting for it. people of the world fought with them. german, pole, frenchman, american. a battle won, a nation won. to join the other nations of the up theere given explorers, the settlers, the patriots, the founders of our nation. before the nation had been formed, people of england and holland had settled in the east and southeast and brought from africa negroes as salves, and settle the mainly in the south. settled mainly in the south. people of spain had settled in the southwest. but after the nation was formed, more people came. people from north and central europe, especially from ireland, germany, came to america in the early 1800s to the midwest. people immigrating to amer

indians can't own reservation land. no one on the reservation can get a mortgage because the property on the reservation is held in trust by the federal government. most also is owned communally by the tribe. a banker could no longer foreclose on a property because the bank cannot own reservation land. despite millions of acres of empty space, there is a housing shortage on many reservations. more and more families crowd into small trailer homes. we visited a tribal college on one of the reservations and they were talking about the possible expansion and they said we have to build up. i looked out the window at acres upon acres and they explained they could never get the loan o build on that because it's land that they don't already have in their possession so they are thinking about building in the way people do in new york city as opposed to montana but this is only part of the problem. more than a quarter of small business owners in the u.s. use what he owns or financing existing ones. but american indians do not hav

and what about the folks back in town who don't own any land, what about them?r before my eyes. i found it on the morning larson had forgotten his lunch and his pa stopped by. that's the first time i knew fred larson had taken a job with an oil company. then i began to realize that there were others, local people working in new jobs, experts coming in, bringing their special skills and teaching them in turn to my friends. i finally understood that oil will enrich the lives of hundreds of my neighbors who will never own a well or see a drop of petroleum. i finally knew for sure that the coming of oil was good for all of us. narrator: the wind of spring blows west across the lakes. the warm wind sings across dakota,and the coda -- coming at last to this place. but there is a new song in the air, a song of great promise. winter will come again, but it will never be the same. for this land is more than wheat now, and life is no longer at the mercy of the seasons. now in this place, a new frontier is born, a new breed of pioneers worked to bring forth the riches of t

this is occupy palestinian land. the united states as we heard john kerry say this is occupying palestinian land. there have been negotiations about how the border may look like with land swaps. i want to bring this map here. this gives us a look at the area. these are the settlements over the last 50 years. >> the settlements and housing developments basically? >> neighborhoods and housing developments is how they are portrayed. thigh are built for israeli citizens and all kinds of incentives for them and that's a different story. these settlements have restrictions on them. they cannot enter them, but they are meaning you are taking palestinian land. this has been as a result of land confisication and home demolition. the settlers are the most and they are documented. and that is a point that john kerry made as well. this is not going to bode well for israel in the long run if they decide to keep this. you talk about a two-state solution. that is still the majority of the people on both sides. they want to see this

much bigger engine, retractible landing gear. so all of these advanced features that the primary trainers do not have. so that is what you're learning here. it goes a lot faster. you're learning to put the gear up and down. manipulate the engine differently depending on your flight characteristics that you're in at the time. this progression is about as long as the other because you're learning a lot more and a lot more about the aerodynamics and the speed, not just the basic flying quality. you take everything you learn there and apply it here and expand it. the air force and the navy had them, as i said. the navy had some with tail hooks on them, so if you were going to end up going to a carrier type thing you would do the carrier thing first before you went to the fighter that was going to go on the carrier. mainly, there is a lot more instruments in there. a lot more engine instruments. you also use them to train, to do the rods, the machine gun work, you know, some bombing stuff, depending on what you were going in. so the a

the british called our method of jumping, or landing, parachute landing fall. their system was better than ours. our system caused me to break my right ankle the first time. my right leg. and that delayed to me a bit getting through jump school. the brits taught this, you don't land with your feet apart, you land with your feet together, knees bent, and you roll on the ground. if your feet are together, you can land on uneven ground, but if you are lending on uneven ground with your legs apart, you will land on one leg. that is precisely why i broke my leg the first time jumping out of an airplane. the british system was better. it had a better system of opening after you get on the ground, getting rid of your parachute. we in the oss ended up adopting that system. >> where were you on june 6th, 1944? one of the most famous days in the history of the united states. >> we had gone to london and placed on alert a man. before we were on our way there, before getting there, we were to do another scheme, during which time i developed a pain in my side, which the bri

is soason they do that the landing gear does not have to be a strong. it had nothing to do with aerodynamics. it's so they can keep the landing gear shorter and it would fold up into the wheels. the reason they needed to do that is because of the propeller which has a long propeller so it comes close to the ground. it would only be about that far off. when you get the tail up, the prop would be close to the ground so it's for propeller clarence. -- clearance. andk you for coming by taking a small tour of the military aviation museum. we have many more airplanes come about 50 flying airplanes. that was just a small sampling so come by and see us. you can watch this and other american artifacts programs by visiting our website at www.c-span.org/history. >>
