(1,252 posts)The U.S.A was founded on Native American ideologies pertaining to governance and land usage. Up to Andrew Jackson's administration the six Nations and other independent tribes were recognized and treated as sovereign nations on equal footing with their European counterparts. It was and is a great loss to our nation that this is no longer so and will certainly be worsened by the current administration. Aho.

(11,536 posts)The invading white man ended up being nothing more than a snake in the grass. Their culture was subverted and in some cases, forcefully reprogramed out of subsequent generations.
It is one of the blackest stains on our nation. And that is saying something.
