Sophomoric attitude.
The true history of the US government’s dealings with the Indians is one of lies, deceit and manipulation.
Better put, the US government’s dealings with the tribes up until about 1900 was similar to the way democrats would run things if they could have their way.
I agree. I think the graphic comes from a t-shirt company.
But, as you point out, it's been over 100 years. It's time for the Native American activists to move on and get over the reality that they lost to a conquering force. They are not alone in that regard. The same has happened to all people at some point in their history, whether their people are from the new world, Africa, Asia or Europe.
I'm of Irish descent. We were also conquered and treated horribly by invading forces in our history. But I don't dwell on it and still look for restitution or sympathy. It's a new day.
And a lot of them, especially those off reservations, have not forgotten. A lot of light skinned American Indians who can pass as white do so because they don't trust the government and don't want to be on a government role. It was bad once, it can be again.
