james_davis_nicollThe Martian Death March
A young boy is caught up in a religious nut's quest to help the Martian natives return to their homeland; the majority of human settlers oppose this and express their disapproval with heavy weapons fire. Thousands set out from the reservation; hundreds are left by the end of the march.
This is a fairly pointed commentary on settler/native american relations and the first time I ran into this (on X Minus One) I was a bit surprised to see it in a story of this vintage.
