Do you need reasons why I push history and learning?
By the first reported contact of Euro-American People, there were
well over 100,000 people already on this land and here for at least 1500 years.
Soon after and because of broken treaties, European-American
forced laws, wars, forced removing of our people off our land, assimilation and
disease, our people became close to extinction
(CLOSE – TO)!
One of thousands of facts
not readily reported
in your history books.
However my friends,
I am proof that we are still here!
We did not get the time to become
‘Hollywood movie Indians’
able to fascinate the modern world,
because our ancestors
were far too busy
just trying to survive!
This is just one reason why I keep saying
(RED LIVES MATTER)!
Most of our people were ‘hunter and gatherer’s (planting food
and/or hunting for it).
Our ancestors shifted dwellings several times year because of
the weather and the need for food. We did not have the weapons, numbers or the
firepower to war with the constant invasion of Europeans to our land!
And the latest slap in the face
was the corrupt governments
treaty with the
‘government controlled Indians’
in the land.
