American Indian Citizenship Day 2022
 |
Some call them "American Indians" which is fully correct — but I prefer that term tribal member acquaintances have related to me as being preferable to them.
All the incessant whining about slavery and reparations rings hollow in the annals of history when you compare it all to that which the Native Americans suffered at the hands of those who overtook their lands and claimed them as their own then kicked them when they were down.
When history is recorded by the victor in any conflict, the loser suffers both those losses incurred and the accurate account of that consuming conflict in the annals left for posterity.
June second brings us American Indian Citizenship Day.
Marking the day in 1924 that the Indian Citizenship Act by Congress granted citizenship to all American Indians born in the US.
The day celebrates the Native Americans of the United States and their culture and history.
