VOICES OF OPPRESSION DROWN OUT THE TRUTH

When Native Americans try to talk about this in their own land they are shouted down by the professional sports fans, the schools and universities, the writers of history books and supremacist youth organizations, by people in every nook and corner and cranny in America and they know that they cannot be heard.

The voices of hatred for the Native American echo on and on, "We are the powerful and you are the little guy. We own God in America, you only think you have your religious beliefs, we have taken them whenever we can. Through out this country, we have taught our children that you are nothing. We have taken your land and so now you have nothing to fight with. We tell our children we own you. It is not a matter of what is right and what is wrong it is only a matter of what we can take!"

Why has the European religious supremacist forgotten their history? They never mention on Thanksgiving day that when they came to this land, they came in search of religious freedom. A freedom that was denied the Native American from that day forward.

We have asked the simple questions, "Do you want your family, children and ancestors made into mascots? Do you want the history of death and oppression of your people's spiritual core at the hands of those who hate you to be washed forever away and replaced with lies about who you really are? Do you want your ancestors to be mocked by screaming drunken sports fans of every decadent description wearing the sacred religious symbols of your people? Do you want your children taught to make another's religion into their entertainment object?"
