Thanks for your words!

Never to be forgotten.........

I feel everything he has said !

So sad but every quote is true. .

I am so thankful there is someone that is 'brave' enough to write these words...and they are true...and any furtherance of anything less is just a continuance of the lies told in schools and a secondary "Trail of Tears'...It is a shameful past...and long before the black man was brought here...I only hope you will know there are white people that know the truth...and ask your forgiveness ...but that you also know...there are many today that do not contribute to the shame..and look at the Indians as the true ancestor of us..and this land we live in...and hope we can come close to the spirituality of your forefathers...and cherish the gifts your people have brought to us...

Thank you for your words.

I am not thankful for any of that, I am ashamed for my white race relatives who did and still do all of this.
About all I can do is "teach" my friends that all of this is true.
Thank you and I can only apologize.

Best poem for this day. Wado

THIS POEM IS THE TRUTH AND ANY BODY WHO SAY ITS DOESNT KNOW HIS OUR HER HISTORY

and he is right and yes it is sad to think that all this did happen I have always found that I have always been curious about Indians and ran across my family tree and the things my family had went through and found out we are Cherokee and I know they went through so real bad times as well the way the government treats them is crazy and I don't think it is right taking away all the Indians would have offered them if you would have been lot nicer to them but I know that the great sprites are getting them back but they don't know is that they are putting a curse on them selves by doing what they did to all the Indians. the government is sinking and sinking fast I hope that all the Indians get better homes and better life

Thank you Johnathan. Stay strong

Here is my white girl born in 1956 take on Thanksgiving Day. I never believe the stories about the first Thanksgiving as told, what I believed was the Indians probably gave food and postpone the starving of the Pilgrims, I have always been a reader so I found out things for myself. Of late there is a movement that some Indians have joined and that is blame the white man for all that is wrong and everyone is untitled to an opinion and that is just part of human nature. Just as some of the Indians aided the British, the French and the colonist at different times. I do not claim to know what the detail histories are except that the federal government never kept any of their promises to anyone white,red ,black or rainbow color and that is true today. Maybe I say this and some will think it is pure arrogance but it seems to me that people who have been self reliant do not have the poverty as those that have. I have always looked at the native Americans as a people to be admired and symbols or mascots depiction of them are should not be taken in a negative way. I perhaps have a higher regard than some of their own people.The fight against mascots is a waste energy when it could better spent fighting to get back land held in trust by the Federal government.

Thank you brother for sharing truths.. I'm Chibcha Indian of Colombia and my son is Western Cherokee Nation

Only when you can truly find gratitude in your heart for all of the things listed above, only when you can set aside your anger without losing your desire to create change can we begin to move forward. Open your heart to those who have committed atrocities and you will begin to heal the world around you.

Damm

That is Just part of it..
THANK YOU FOR KILLING THE SONS OF MASSASSOIT THE SEACONKE WAMPANOAG GREAT SUPREME LEADER WHO KEPT YOU ALIVE IN THE COLD WINTER AND BROUGHT FOOD TO YOU FOR THANKSGIVING.

It is so sad knowing how true this is. I am Cherokee but I was not taught anything about the culture. I hope to some day learn.

". . . until our mouths bled English." Terrific! I envy this image. Powerful! Thank you for the reminder.

Aho. I am so deeply sorry. I make every attempt I can in my little life to atone for what has been done and continues to be done to the people of the First Nations. We have all been colonized, but the Indigenous in the so-called Americas suffer the most. I try to educate myself and others. I will post this to facebook.

sad but all truth

Wopila for this powerful poem. I wrote Teaching Truly: A Curriculum to Indigenize Mainstream Education to not only make non-Indians aware of all this, but to get educators to understand that the Western worldview itself is what we must all learn to resist as we finally look to traditional ways of knowing as the only proven solution to the crises we are ALL facing.

Thank you for bringing truth and honesty to light !

Fight back by not giving any of your money to a purveyor of alcohol, European tobacco, sugar, flour and lard. Study the ways of the Hiefer organization and adapt it to become independent of the big box stores. Take back your ways of working as a community.

I am very sorry for all that has happen to your people,,I am so in love with the words of your people,,they are so meaningful,,,BEAUTIFUL words that are used to express how you feel my the GREAT SPIRIT BLESS U ALL
