> ... their ideas about the sacredness of the Earth were very important to that movement, you know? It’s not necessarily something that you or the press always emphasizes. But, in fact, the longevity of that movement, the resilience of that movement really depends on Native American ideas of the sacredness of the Earth, of the vitality of the Earth.

With Wounded Knee Medals, Trump Admin Suggests There’s Valor in Genocide

The call to rescind those medals is not about erasing history, but about refusing to let lies and conquest define it.

Medals mean nothing when worn by thugs and murderers.

To be a true human being is the only honor worthy of respect.

Bury their medals at Wounded Knee?:

It shouldn't surprise us that an administration that regularly violates the laws of war (such as by attacking random ships in the Caribbean that they claim are carrying drugs --- without a trial of course) would feel the need to continue to valorize war criminals and butchers of the past.

Excerpt: The administration of President Joe Biden ordered a review of 20 medals that were given to soldiers who participated in the massacre, during which the U.S. Army’s 7th Cavalry opened fire on hundreds of Native Americans. The troops killed an estimated 350 Lakota people in an area of South Dakota that is now part of the Pine Ridge Reservation.

In a video posted on social media, Hegseth said the review found the soldiers should keep the medals but that his predecessor at the Pentagon, Lloyd Austin, was “more interested in being politically correct than historically correct.”

“Under my direction, we’re making it clear without hesitation that the soldiers who fought in the Battle of Wounded Knee in 1890 will keep their medals, and we’re making it clear that they deserve those medals,” Hegseth said.

. . . “We cannot be a country that celebrates and rewards horrifying acts of violence,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts), a supporter of the legislation, said in a statement Friday. “With this announcement, Secretary Hegseth is valorizing people who committed a massacre.”
