No one has a right …
No one has a right to deny a person their natural tongue, no one has the right to insult or abuse another human being for his or her way of culture, no one has a right to bully and intimidate or hit another human being for who they are.

Im in the UK, my daughter has an essay asking whether she thinks the American Indians were savages or not! let them wait for my response.Grr

A wonderful friend sharonhitch66 guided me here and Lane will also vouch for me, this is videogoing into that school.

Eevery time I see a movie on Native Americans it makes me sad and angry how these so called ‘civilised’ whites acted towards the ‘heathen savages’.
Yes, white people have been beasts towards the Natives of Turtle Island and the black people. I think to acknowledge, this, like Australia’s yearly ’sorry-day’, is the first part to make some things right instead of getting defensive what usually happens when atrocities are discussed.

My aunt was sent to a catholic indian boarding school, she said the nuns would beat you everytime she spoke Mohawk, she was about 8 yrs old, she didnt remenber to speak her language until she was in her 40’s. A friend of our family who is Paiute was made to bite on a piece of bicycle innertube and the teacher would pull back on it and snap him in the mouth when he spoke Paiute. This is defintely not what Jesus would do.
