WOUNDED KNEE MASSACRE COVER UP OF RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION IN THE US

HOW CAN 108 YEARS LATER AMERICA'S SHAME CONTINUE?

Only in America is it common practice to make mascots of dead children, their ancestors and their religion.
They call it fun.

Roll was taken among the Sioux, who had gathered for participation in religious ceremonies, by Maj. Samuel Whitside the night before the shooting, 120 men and 230 women and children were present

The next morning over 300 lay dead

The small bundles are the bodies of children

"While I was lying on my back, I looked down the ravine and saw these women, girls and little girls and boys coming up, I saw soldiers on both sides of the
ravine shoot at them until they had killed every one of them."
- Beard, a survivors account.

Twenty Congressional Medals of Honor were given for this killing.

11 months later in a private letter, General Nelson A. Miles who was the ranking officer had this to say:

"Wholesale massacre occurred and I have never heard of a more brutal,
cold-blooded massacre than that at Wounded Knee. About two hundred women and children were killed and wounded; women with little children on their backs, and small children powder burned by the men who killed them being so near as to burn the flesh and clothing with the powder of their guns, and nursing babes with five bullet holes through them....

Col. Forsyth is responsible for allowing the command to remain where it was stationed after he assumed command, and in allowing his troops to be in such a position that the line of fire of every troop was in direct line of their own of their own comrades or their camp"

[ Nelson A. Miles to George W. Baird, November 20, 1891, Baird Collection, WA-S901, M596, Western Americana Collection, The Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut.]

WILL YOU TELL YOUR CHILDREN IT IS AN HONOR TO MAKE THESE DEAD CHILDREN, THEIR RELIGION & THEIR ANCESTORS INTO MASCOTS?

Native American religions and people

Does "Chief Illiniwek", in his claim to honor the Indian people tell you of the dead children lying in the mass grave at Wounded Knee Creek, South Dakota? Does he tell you they died because of their religious belief, if he has any honor ask him to tell you of this story. Ask him to explain how he is honoring them as he tippy toe prances around the basket ball court.

"I wasn't ever going to talk about it. But you can't let it go by. ...I hope it will never happen again.
But it could have been stopped too. Nobody did."

Hitler learned to more efficiently exterminate Jews by studying America's methods against Native Americans.
(For reference to Hitler's admiration for American efficiency in killing Native Americans see: Toland, John, Adolph Hitler, page 802, Doubleday & Company, New York 1976
David Stannard, American Holocaust Conquest of the New World, page 153, Oxford Press 1992, Stannard refers to Toland and also to: Richard Rubenstein, "Afterword: Genocide and Civilization, " in Wallimann and Dobkowski, eds, Genocide and the Modern Age, p. 288)

"It was just a war against the Jew and he looses, that is just too bad. I'm sick of you putting down the German people, get off their backs they only tried to help everyone out. American Jews have killed more Indian children than anybody got of theirs, so just look at who you think are your friends." - anonymous Neo Nazi comments on the Jewish Holocaust
