Zone1 Day after Thanksgiving named Native American Heritage Day

[Hellbilly]

Fight for things that make a difference. Stupid holidays are worthless. Things like reservation water rights are very important and should be awarded as I have advocated for on this board.

So is MMIW and a host of other issues. All of those things are still being fought for. I can only do 1 thread at a time. Trust me, I'll get to those other issues.

There are other people living here besides whites.
yea no shit.....

I'm glad you agree.

You got this wrong. The aggrieved are the people complaining about or dissing the mention of this day. The colonizers don't want to hear of it. The colonizers are now working to censor things like this.

Absolutely true. It's all part of the genocide of Native people and Native culture. They want to separate us from who we are.

Just like they have done to us.

Just like they have done to us.

It will never happen. They can't kill our spirit.

The white eyes can ignore the day and go shopping. Ajo.

I'm celebrating it. Why do you have a problem with it?

When you think of the Trail of Tears, you likely imagine a long procession of suffering Cherokee Indians forced westward by a villainous Andrew Jackson. Perhaps you envision unscrupulous white slaveholders, whose interest in growing a plantation economy underlay the decision to expel the Cherokee, flooding in to take their place east of the Mississippi River.

What you probably don’t picture are Cherokee slaveholders, foremost among them Cherokee chief John Ross. What you probably don’t picture are the numerous African-American slaves, Cherokee-owned, who made the brutal march themselves, or else were shipped en masse to what is now Oklahoma aboard cramped boats by their wealthy Indian masters.

Native American culture was built on the backs of slaves. Slavery was practiced in the Americas for thousands of years before the Europeans showed up. The most advanced Native American culture built giant pyramids for the sole purpose for ritually slaughtering slaves.
