President Andrew Jackson -
despised Native Americans -
much as Donald Trump does, today -
both, singular - egoistical maniacs.
This land better known as Turtle Island - has suffered too many very serious problems - most of them coming from egoistical maniacs - the likes of President Andrew Jackson and now in this White House - Donald Trump.
This divisiveness must STOP - and for sure Native Americans must not be targeted - on their own land - their own Mother Land that has been abused.
The Elders who must be respected - disrespected - the Great Spirit sees it all.
We human beings have short memories and forget when in 1492 the very first contact was made in a dubious way - the population of Turtle Island now known as the United States - was 9.8 million.
The Europeans brought with them diseases - small pox, measles, all sorts of sexually transmitted diseases, initiated epidemics - wiping out entire segment of the then population - creating havoc with the indigenous people - Native Americans.
By 1890 widespread drought, famine, all sorts of skirmishes adversely impacted millions of Native Americans.
All this and more was predicted by the shamans - hold women and men - that foretold - the coming of the beasts. The Hopi prophets and those from other tribes - some of whom I have met - and been blessed to meet them in person and hear their voices to appease my aging heart.
In 1890 the indigenous population fell below 250,000 from the high 9.8 million.
To date no detail analysis has been made on this long saga - with intent indigenous people were adversely impacted.
All this and more harmed Mother Earth and those that inhabited Turtle Island for over 13,000 years all carbon dated - to this day - cannot figure out the way of those that are GREEDY.
Many meetings such as one held above -
tried to foster better relations -
the indigenous and the pale faces -
to no avail - treaties made and never kept.
Native American so close to Mother Earth - having no word for " GREED " - could not muster what to make of this strange being - mentioned by the shamans.
The indigenous knew deep in their heart - that they had to be very careful.
But just the way the Great Spirit created them - just the way they were brought up - they gave the strangers - the benefit of the doubt - let their guard down - and suffered the consequences. It was not their fault - but in the course of time - the leeway given - brought about immense - suffering.
Psychologists and Psychiatrists - Sociologists and Anthropologist, Philosophers and Theologians, Writers and Authors, Teachers and Doctors, Historians and other Scientists - have yet to fully comprehend the harm done - so they talk in circles - say something - mean nothing at all.
In the mean time - the lying, the cheating, the raping of innocent women, killing of children, other atrocities to many to mention and too difficult to describe in detail - was too much to bear - bringing up to the fore within the being - an inferno of ire - that remain suppressed to this day.
The Six Nations and the Iroquois Tribe - the Long Cabin - the numerous meetings held at the White House - in other places - the Founding Fathers learning about the Matriarchal System.
Many elements in our Constitution were incorporated from these meetings - a Democracy - practiced for thousands of years - dumb confounding the Founding Fathers - who were just figuring out - how to create a government - and stay away from the British and their monarchy of sorts.
The true history - with empirical data - factual - is not taught in our elementary, middle, and high schools.
Even less in our colleges and universities - who have NO clue - about the rich heritage stolen at all levels - from the Native Americans - by the barbarians doing what they do best - steal, rape, cheat, lie and that continues to this day.
Lewis and Clarke and his entourage -
reached the Pacific Ocean -
a long treacherous journey from the East Coast -
the West abounded with resources -
and along the way the met many Native Americans Tribes -
their future would be jeopardized - we know that today.
This majestic photograph of
Chief Joseph - says it all -
he tried to help his warriors and his people -
in all of his efforts - he had to give up -
the pale faces were too steeped in nefarious activities -
again and again - the ways of the Native Americans
are poles apart - those holistic will not get close to evil.
Year after year we encounter discrimination as a people - I have been on the frontlines and seen it all. Those that cheat, lie, rape, steal, bluff, hoodwink - do not like to hear the truth.
In fact when you break it down - they have no notion of truth -
truth to them - could be half-lies, white lies, and with such a mentality - no holistic progress can be made.
The Franciscans played havoc
with the Ohlone on the West Coast -
with other tribes too - no apology -
and what is important to note - no restitution -
they have blood on their hands - and " know it not. "
They place a stake here and there - brought in their surveyors and before you knew it - the records showed - someone owned your land - never mind your ancestors lived on the land for thousands of years.
When evil people deny others their cultural, the song, their language, their food, the many ways - fundamentally - such people are " demonic " .
To day to address this nonsense - we have " culturally competency " classes - and how to deal one's mind set - and learn more about " implicit bias ". Go Figure.
Human beings are social beings - however, when you gang up on other human beings - because you fail to appreciate their culture, the color of their skin, the inherent " goodness " bestowed on all by the Great Spirit - your heart in the wrong place - as the pale faces say - " all hell breaks loose ". Aho.
