I am a pro-native American. I fell this country has done the native americans a terrible injustice. This country does not belong to us "WHITE MEN". It was their country long before the white man came and stoled it away from them. We are their un-invited guest at a very costly expense. We, un-invited guest here, owe them a lot more than they have ever received. They weren't the savages. The white man was. These Native Americans were just defending their country. Much like we do today.
ReplyDeleteBut we can never re-pay for the damage that was done or the lives that were lost. Only by our remembering them and their plight. And learning their ways that they still hold so dear. And respecting them always.
