The Native American Thread

[G.Elias]

I read Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee,well most of it,could not at the time finish it,it became seriousley depressing reading all the things the newcomers did to the native folk of America,all those western movies as a kid were always making out the native folk were the bad guys,not true was it,reminds me a little of how the Aboriginal folk in Australia were treated by British and European settlers,how people can have done this is pretty sickening,watching what went on at the oil pipeline just made me think nothings changed thatmuch esp when it comes down to money and what those lands hold,very sad that humans can do this to a wise and noble race of people,some of the excuses they hid behind to justify their atrocities were just blasphemous and pure evil.
