Horrible. I cant imagine how the insane superiority complex of that time period managed to so deeply embed itself in white culture. Its insane what people used to do.

They are still doing it. My children were stolen from their schools on Jan 11 and my girls are even now suffering abuse at the hands of CPS and Mobile Al Judge Brown. Why? Because I dared to report a doctor who prescribe meds that nearly killed my son. And maybe, because we are of native american lineage. Pray for us all.

Seriously? Your kids where stolen from their schools? what do you mean? where they kidnapped? and what drugs where prescribed? What happened when they were prescribed? What part of the country do you live in? This should be on the news! Something should be done about that!

Blacks and the filthy english raped and pillaged the powhatans- 1609-1630. That was their thanks for all the "THanksgiving" food and help when things got tough...

Eh. Both of them are names made up by Whites. America was named America by England, not natives. So Native Americans have about the same meaning as Indians. Sure Indians where called that initially because Columbus thought he was in India, but it has a specific meaning unrelated to India now, and its just about as made up as "Native American". I usually use the term native American, but its not a big deal if you use Indian, unless the natives are bothered. But I've met many who aren't.

I put my son in a so called Christian school but removed him after only a few years because of the hypocrisy of the teachers and administration. It seemed like the only Almight they worshipped was the almighty dollar. This is what happens when government mixes with religion. All of the love and kindness that our Creator has for us evaporates and turns to abuse. Salvation is a journey of the heart between God and his creations. You can't force it down a child's throat or anyone's.

watching this made me very angry.i've heard about this,how wasichus have abused natives. i'm glad someone said this out loud,no one has the right to call someone a savage or tell him/her that he/she needs to be saved...they only need to be saved from the white people who brought nothing good,nothing but pain and a lot of suffering for the natives. i feel a lot of respect for the native american people,all my love and positive energy goes to them,wish i could do more...
