-REDSKIN-
A HATE WORD DEFINED
 |
The Seven Creeds Society will explain
to you as one human to another, why the Native American finds
the word REDSKIN & the "INDIAN MASCOT" to be extremely
HATEFUL.
Journey with us through the following photo essay: |
A REDSKIN IS AN ANIMAL
When the Native American is referred to as a REDSKIN they are being
called a non human.
What you are being told is the part of you that is Native is a GODLESS
BEAST
If you do not feel this, it is because the ones who hate you have
destroyed
the Human Being that should exist in you.
YOU CAN BE SURE YOUR ANCESTORS KNOW WHAT THIS WORD MEANS
What you have missed is how
the word REDSKIN came into existence and how it has been used.
What you have missed is how it has never changed...
Long ago when our people
first met. You gave us a name to express your hatred. That name was
"REDSKINS". You viewed the "REDSKIN" as a big
dumb animal. You slaughtered our children as you would slaughter the
wolf. You skinned the bodies of our families and made leggings and
tobacco pouches. You turned in the REDSKIN of the Native American
for bounty. Yes, you took away our religion, and you said, "What
animal understands a higher power?" You confined us to areas
because the modern man keeps animals in a game reserve. It was your
game, your sport and your joy.
When we hear and read the
name REDSKIN, we remember the past. This is the modern day, the dawn
of the 21st century, but as Human Beings we see you have no respect
for us in the present. We are not allowed to move freely or to be
free from your words of hate.
We are treated like you treat the animals,
"Stay out of sight and keep quiet REDSKIN, and you can have your
life".
A REDSKIN IS AN ANIMAL
TO YOU OF
NATIVE BLOOD AND HERITAGE:
If you are a Native American or
if you have the blood of Native people within you,
understand you are the survivor of a holocaust.
YOUR PEOPLE HAVE BEEN HUNTED AS ANIMALS. YOUR ANCESTORS WERE STALKED
BY
A PERVERSE ENEMY WHO LAY IN WAIT
EVERYWHERE YOUR FAMILY WALKED.
You have had your family and your
dignity stolen from you and in its place is a deeply perverse set
of hate messages swim before your eyes. If you can shut out the hate
and the lies, you will find a profound emptiness. You family tried
to protect you.
That is why you know so little of your heritage, so little of the
ways of living
which are not approved by the self proclaimed "master of the
beasts".
That is why so much of the religions, histories, and stories of the
RED HOLOCAUST remain a secret today.
SURVIVAL HAS FORCED SILENCE ONTO
THE HEART OF THE NATIVE AMERICAN PEOPLE AND YOU ARE TOLD TO BE COMPLIMENTED
BY THE NAME OF HATE:
REDSKIN
| A READER RESPONDS: |
"I went..... I read..... and again
as in times past... I understand why my
Mother and her family chose to hide thier
culture.. to raise us white.....
I only wish she and they could have lived
long enough to see this time
come.... to regain thier pride in themselves
and all they were and had
been...... My heart weeps......" |
