WHITE INVADERS

~Native Americans and the Federal Government~

At the start of the twentieth century there were approximately 250,000 Native Americans in the USA – just 0.3 per cent of the population – most living on reservations where they exercised a limited degree of self-government.

During the course of the nineteenth century they had been deprived of much of their land by forced removal westwards, by a succession of treaties (which were often not honored by the white authorities) and by military defeat by the USA as it expanded its control over the American West.

In 1831 the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, John Marshall, had attempted to define their status. He declared that Indian tribes were ‘domestic dependent nations’ whose ‘relation to the United States resembles that of a ward to his guardian’. Marshall was, in effect, recognizing that America’s Indians are unique in that, unlike any other minority, they are both separate nations and part of the United States.

This helps to explain why relations between the federal government and the Native Americans have been so troubled.

A guardian prepares his ward for adult independence, and so Marshall’s judgement implies that US policy should aim to assimilate Native Americans into mainstream US culture. But a guardian also protects and nurtures a ward until adulthood is achieved, and therefore Marshall also suggests that the federal government has a special obligation to care for its Native American population.

As a result, federal policy towards Native Americans has lurched back and forth, sometimes aiming for assimilation and, at other times, recognizing its responsibility for assisting Indian development.

… and it continues to this day!!

ATROCITIES AGAINST NATIVE AMERICANS

This is a topic which isn’t really taught in schools.

I went to a private, Catholic school in Puerto Rico, and don’t remember any teaching about the genocide of the Native Americans.

For that matter, I wasn’t taught about the atrocities committed to the indigenous people of Puerto Rico either.

It is now, after my retirement, that I have plenty of time on my hands, that I’m catching up to history.

This is a topic that has always been interesting to me.

As I keep abreast of the event in Cannon Ball, North Dakota, I’ve been looking for information about this topic and many other related ones.

It’s a shame that we are so consumed with the presidential campaign and the antics of one of the candidates, that many other events are taking place without the media informing viewers about them.

Seems that we have to do the investigating ourselves.

Guess that is a sign of adulthood.

We have to do things ourselves.

Numerous atrocities against Native Americans span the hundreds of years from the first arrival of European explorers to the modern era under a wide range of circumstances.

Today there are over 500 Native American tribes in the United States, each with a distinct culture, way of life and history. Even today, Native Americans face large challenges to cope with the disadvantages history has left them and ongoing cases of discrimination.

10 million+ estimated number of Native Americans living in land that is now the United States when European explorers first arrived in the 15th century
Less than 300,000 estimated number of Native Americans living in the United States around 1900
5.2 million identified as American Indian or Alaska Native in the 2010 census

Colonization
While the Native Americans’ history began thousands of years ago, their European encounter started with one man.

Determined to find a direct route from Europe to Asia, Christopher Columbus stumbled on the Americas in 1492.

… and the rest is history!!

~~American Holocaust~~

The Genocide of Native Americans/Crimes against humanity

~~Published on Mar 29, 2015~~

Where Did Largest Genocide In The World Happen?

Most people would answer Germany, and the Jewish Holocaust. Actually though, the largest genocide happened in the USA, with the native American Indians, with an estimated 60 million to 120 million indigenous people killed.

American Holocaust

60 To 120 Million Native Inhabitants Exterminated By Illegal ‘Settlers’, After Living On Continent For 200,000 Years In Sustainable Way.
(the biggest genocide in the history of humankind).

A 200,000 YEAR OLD CIVILIZATION WAS ‘DISAPPEARED’ AND 500 NATIONS WERE WIPED OUT

AMERICAN WAS BORN IN GENOCIDE, BATHED IN MURDER, RACISM, BLOOD AND VIOLENCE

~Martin Luther King Jr.~

“Our nation was born in genocide when it embraced the doctrine that the original American, the Indian, was an inferior race.

Even before there were large numbers of Negroes on our shore, the scar of racial hatred had already disfigured colonial society. From the sixteenth century forward, blood flowed in battles over racial supremacy.

We are perhaps the only nation which tried as a matter of national policy to wipe out its indigenous population. Moreover, we elevated that tragic experience into a noble crusade. Indeed, even today we have not permitted ourselves to reject or feel remorse for this shameful episode. Our literature, our films, our drama, our folklore all exalt it.

Our children are still taught to respect the violence which reduced a red-skinned people of an earlier culture into a few fragmented groups herded into impoverished reservations.”
~Martin Luther King Jr.~

Thoughts for today, #384 …. “EMPATHY …. ALL Life is Sacred”!!

~~June 10, 2016~~ 

FATALITIES AND INJURIES

I totally understand the huge difference between the death of an animal and a huamn being.

However, we humans have forgotten that we all are connected to the same sacred energy that makes us alive.

Caring for animals’ lives doesn’t lessen or take away caring for children.

They both go together because the issue here is the personal, innate knowledge that ALL life has value.

If the human race abuses animals, what is there left to stop humans from abusing other humans?

“If you do not understand the Golden Rule, which is the most important law in the universe, then you are in trouble.

All other rules in your holy books combined — are not as valuable as the ONE Golden Rule.

Take two minutes to learn the most crucial law in life.

Killing another human comes with the highest penalty, regardless of how you justify it.

All life is sacred.”

DCI-Palestine has been documenting Palestinian child fatalities and injuries at the hands of the Israeli military and settlers in the Occupied Palestinian Territory since September 2000.

~FATALITIES~
In the West Bank, child fatalities generally occur in the context of military incursions, demonstrations against Israeli settlements or the separation barrier, or as a result of settler attacks against Palestinian children.

In Gaza, the majority of child fatalities are the result of Israeli attacks and full-scale offensives, which cause a high number of civilian casualties. Some are the result of indiscriminate shooting at the Gaza border fence.

Since 2005, six major military offensives in Gaza have killed at least 1,000 Palestinian children.

~INJURIES~
Like fatalities, injuries in the West Bank occur as a result of military incursions, demonstrations and settler violence.

Injuries are frequently sustained when children are arrested, transferred and detained ininterrogation centers or prisons.

In Gaza, injuries are most commonly the result of flying shrapnel produced by Israeli strikes or shooting at the border fence.

To start the day .… “100 Years Of American Fear …. Nothing’s Changed”!!

~~January 14, 2016~~ 

NOTHING HAS CHANGED

The United States of America was founded on the principle of liberty and justice for all.

Back in the day, the settlers arrived on new land, fleeing persecution in the “olde country”.

They wanted freedom, they wanted equality, they wanted justice.

It’s so ironic to me that none of that has been achieved in spite of claiming that it has. The historical events depicted on the accompanying video show how in 100 years, fear has been a mainstay in America life.

Take a look … the facts don’t lie.

“The US government has a history of targeting vulnerable groups”

I invite you to watch this video and hope that you find that this is something to think about.

In my humble opinion, this is nothing to be proud of.
