  • I am a Heinz 57, but my ancestors were Choctaw. The history is dark, we been there done that, and we are still here, as the water flows through the Mississippi, the blood flows through our veins!

    What stuck me like a bolt of lightning was that Jefferson Davis and alike who led the Confederate against the Union, lived freely after the Civil War and were never put on trial for treason. Davis lived out his life untill 1889. However, the Native Americans Tribes who fought for the Confederacy lost half of their lands after the Civil War by law because they fought for the Confederacy. Diabolical is the word that comes to mind...
  • In the end, being called "civilized" simply meant that they were ethnically cleansed last.

    I wish there were more traditional Native Americans. Chahta sia. Oklahoma amiti li. Oklahoma City vtta li. Notice how they were concerned with the elders of our tribes. That's because they pass down all the stories, language, and traditions. I wish I was fluent in Chahta but, unfortunately it was beaten out of my ancestors. Sv nuhaklo. Ofi tohbi!

    Y’all heard him say their were 2 types of Indians , those that were in the open and those that were in the shadows 🤔🤔🤔 this whole film was to aid and assist their agenda and for the future… those little hours were definitely not the housing projects.
  • I live near Andrew Jackson state park in Indian Land SC. I have to visit the reservation soon.
  • ALL Natives of this land were "civilized" before the Spanish and the Europeans came. Theirs was a civilization of great magnitude that we (whites) refused to honor. I am ashamed of this fact and what was done to them. I wish it were a different history for the Natives. They deserved better and still do. Blessings on all you Natives. Prayers go up for all of you.
