Native American Abuse
Imagine your country had been invaded by a very powerful group of people. Before anything drastic could be done these people had invaded your shores and had creeping inward upon your land. At first they acted with scorn and called us names and disrespect. After several groups of our people revolted against these invaders they decided to negotiate certain terms with us. Then after thinking all was well many of these agreements were broken and they started to ship us like freight to areas where they could hold a lot of our kind while they abuse and take over our country/land. We tried to fight back but it was useless, we were at their strong army's demise. It is sad that such atrocities were done to perform an act of genocide on our people. Though you might assume this is an excerpt from a Jew during the holocaust those oppressed are Native Americans and the "cruel invaders" are none other than the U.S. Government and Army. While many revere (including ourselves) the United States as a "world superpower" and a role model to other countries is it so quickly forgotten of our own Holocaust? "(Actually there are two; one killing 40 to 60,000,000 Africans, and one killing 100,000,000 Native Red Peoples)." Hitler himself often exp
is on of the most forgotten atrocities in our history. ressed his admiration for the expediency in which the American Christians removed the Native Americans and gave them mass graves like the one in Wounded Knee, South Dakota. When the Cherokees Americanized their tribe and converted to "the American Way" the state of Georgia quickly went in with militias and forced them along their way. When has it been wrong to fight for your land to fend off a lying scandalous government who killed your people and robbed your future generations of their much-valued culture? It is believed in my mind that the United States of America, upon the tribes and cultures of Native Americans, has committed the act of genocide. Native Americans had no idea why the Europeans could fight for land, "Death makes us owners of nothing is what the Native Americans believed. Some even try to justify these actions on Natives by pointing out that the Native Americans had attacked and raided on American settlements. The Bill, which barely passed it both House and Senate, was a support for the popular distribution of fertile Indian lands. And if not by war or fighting many Native Americans fell victim to the diseases that was brought here by the "white man". treatment towards Native Americans wasn't Genocide on our part. Indian attempts at conforming were futile and quickly crushed. Calling ourselves Americans is basically a lie since we are not Natives to this land. As far as the actual relocation went, the task of relocating the Indians fell into the hands of the Army, who then mostly signed the task off to contractors. " This Bill was strongly opposed by the north while it was supported by the south.
