Native American Day 2025
 |
They were swindled, robbed, had criminal elements placed in their lives in the name of "agency" and were totally abused by those in power who thought they owned whatever land they landed upon.
Today is Native American Day. AKA "American Indian Day" in some circles it is celebrated on the fourth Friday of September annually.
It is supposedly an "honor" for the Native American population but I don't see it that way.
It does, however focus on the history, heritage, and culture of tribes accross the nature even if it does ignore the atrocities of the newcomers upon the Native American people who were — and had always been here.
After all, they were here first and our government didn't miss any opportunity to take what was theirs then flaunt that robbery in their faces repeatedly.
The government of the United States was also guilty of multiple genocides against these indigenous peoples.
Happy Native American Day.
I hope some Native American in your midst attains some modicum of revenge at your expense.
