Angry in the first few pages because of how they were slaughtered, and pushed out of their homes by laws enacted by ‘American presidents’/ settlers.
Cutting off access to their food sources (like what the British did to the Irish).
It all reminds me of what’s happening in Palestine.

On May 23 1838, the forced removal of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek) Nation, Seminole, Chickasaw, Choctaw and other Native American nations began - a land theft and displacement known as the Trail of Tears. Approximately 60,000 people were displaced of whom up to 6,000 died on the Trail.

Wat luisteren we vandaag?
We keren weer eens terug naar de metal van begin dit millenium met het fijne Trail Of Tears .
Helaas staat het fijne debuutalbum Disclosure In Red niet op spotify. Maar ook opvolger Profoundemonium is aan te raden: https://open.spotify.com/album/55af8oEsgTve1rHmWfCNkl?si=QeBbOSITRrGLHn-ZFQmVog
The Newark Earthworks in Ohio are monuments to the human genius of ancient people who built them. These awe-inspiring structures have earned World Heritage status as one of the world’s most magnificent wonders. We can only guess the purposes and meanings they had for their builders and for others who have marveled at them over the centuries.

March 26, 1839 - The Cherokee Nation came to the end of the “Trail of Tears,” a forced march from their ancestral home in the Smoky Mountains to the Oklahoma Territory. General Winfield Scott, under orders from President Andrew Jackson, arrested then drove the tribe’s members through the winter, leaving 4000 dead along the route. According to John Burnett, an interpreter with the U.S. Army, “. . . covetousness on the part of the white race was the cause of all that the Cherokees had to suffer . . . .” The train of 645 wagons stretched for five km (three miles), leaving behind as many as twenty graves in one day, principally victims of exposure.
John G. Burnett (b. 11 December 1810) was a private in the US Army in 1838 when he was ordered to act as interpreter between US officials and the Cherokee during the forced removal of Native Americans now known as the Trail of Tears. #History #Cherokee #TrailOfTears #HistoryFact https://whe.to/ci/2-2652-en/
The Trail of Tears was the forced relocation of the "Five Civilized Tribes" – Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee Creek, and Seminole – from their ancestral lands in the Southeastern region of the United States to "Indian Territory" (modern-day Oklahoma) between 1831 and 1850, resulting in the deaths of over 16,000 Native Americans and the removal of over 60,000 from their homelands. #History #Cherokee #TrailOfTears #HistoryFact https://whe.to/ci/2-2651-en/
Yes, the #USAnians have a fantastic track record when it comes to respecting the First Nations / native peoples of the territories they inhabit...
What happens when the executive ignores the judicial? You get your face on the $20 bill.
As #AndrewJackson said:
"John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it!"
No matter what the outcome of this struggle, until we, as a nation, face and make right where we have been wrong, we will always be vulnerable to the disinformation that hides our guilt and shortcomings and keeps us from being what we wish we were.

Patrick Lawrence: Exeunt, the Man from Scranton

When a president has failed as miserably as Joe Biden, you have to change the subject. You have to distract the public. By Patrick Lawrence ScheerPost I honestly do not think Joe Biden ever had a chance to make sense…

The Newark Earthworks
This month in Newark, Ohio, the Octagon is finally open to the public. It is among the most impressive of North America’s many ancient earthworks, but it has been occupied for more than a century by a private country club golf course. As of January 1, the golfers are gone, and this World Heritage site belongs to the world.

‘Tis the Season to Talk #ClimateCollapse, #NuclearColonialism, and Freeing #LeonardPeltier
by Desiree Hellegers, December 11, 2024
"I don’t know about you, but personally, the whole festive holiday thing seems to be falling a bit flat this year. Don’t get me wrong, like every other year, I do plan to really go to town on a pumpkin pie or two. But this year, the annual deluge of Black Friday ads egging us on to higher levels of consumption–with corresponding carbon emissions and solid and liquid waste–seemed particularly hollow, morbid–predatory, even–falling as Black Friday did this year on November 29, the date the U.N. first recognized in 1977 as International Day of #Solidarity with the #PalestinianPeople. This year all the excess, forced pageantry, and planned obsolescence of Black Friday seems in such stark and ironic contrast to the poverty in #Gaza.
From #Plymouth to Palestine
"Winter is coming soon to Gaza where hundreds of thousands of shell-shocked people are struggling against the odds to care for themselves and their families–from infants to elders and recent amputees on crutches and in wheelchairs, as well as people with other disabilities– eking out lives in the streets, tents, and precarious ruins of shelled out apartments. In The Guardian, Kaamil Ahmed and Ana Lucía González Paz describe Gaza as a 'sonic hellscape' filled variously with the 'incessant buzzing of drones' and 'more violent intrusions: Israeli missile strikes, sirens, gunfire and the screams of frightened people.' And the situation is unlikely to get better under Herr Trump.
"The man who as president moved the American embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem stands to personally profit from, as reported in The Guardian, investment his son-in-law Jared Kushner has in the removal of Palestinians from Gaza and its development as an Israeli waterfront resort. And no doubt Trump is also well aware of the profits to be had from exploiting Gaza’s offshore marine gas fields. But, if Jewish-led protests at the Thanksgiving Parade in New York City, and more recently in the Canadian Parliament, are anything to go by, solidarity actions against the unfolding genocide to Gaza are likely to continue to build in the run up to Hanukkah and the January inauguration.
"But in the lead up to Christmas, Joe Biden seems as willing as ever to continue the seemingly limitless supply of U.S. weapons to help annihilate Gaza. I’m just speculating here, (so, please, sir, do not to put me to the dunking stool!) but Jesus himself might be the first to observe that giving birth in a manger sounds pretty idyllic right now to women in Gaza weakened by hunger, giving birth in the rubble of buildings that used to be apartments, universities and hospitals. No sterile sheets, no antiseptic, nothing to dull the pain, nothing to stop the next forced removal, the next relocation. The #PalestinianTrailOfTears."

Happy #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth From the Army That Brought You the #TrailOfTears
After 170 years of armed attacks, #ForcedRelocations, #EthnicCleansing, and #genocide of #NativeAmericans, the #USMilitary wants to celebrate.

November 28 2024,
"'The Army was, bottom line, an instrument of a settler colonial empire that was determined to convert Native lands into private property for mostly white settlers,' said Jeffrey Ostler, professor of history emeritus at the University of Oregon and author of 'Surviving Genocide: Native Nations and the United States From the American Revolution to Bleeding Kansas.' 'That was its mission: to carry out a federal government policy that, in practice, often became a genocidal war.'"
