Charlot/Philip Deloria
The statement he has filled graves with our bones sends chills up and down my spine,this was a insightful read.Pay him for our own,I just can't imagine anyone going into a store,buying something and then walking out of the store and paying the doorman again!!If we where asked to do this there would be an uproar,people everywhere protesting.As the Indians saw it God gave them the land,no one person owned it,but we saw diffrent,our greed made us want what ever the Indians had.If the Indians are on land you want,shoot them,take everything they have and then the land is yours.How is it that the Indians are the "miserable wretches"(Baum)we where the ones acting like savages.Just the same as in the Philip Deloria article we want to kill off a whole race and yet be just like them..makes me wonder,was it jealousy?We where jealous of the freedom the Indians had,or was it to turn the blam on the Indians?When you want what someone else has it is envy and jealousy that pushes you to get what they have.Which in turn makes you want to kill,thieve and persicute.It makes me ashamed to know how the Indians where treated and to think we claim to be a free,law abiding,fair treating nation.
