1st Thanksgiving 1621 :: After the Mayflower :: american experience :: PBS documentary In 1621, the Wampanoag natives of what became New England befriended judeo-christian invader families from Britain. The British betrayed the Native Americans trust with a brutal massacre followed by 4 centuries of expanding occupation + genocide of Native Americans to steal their land + exploit their resources. The next documentary jumps to 1800s discovery of gold in Cherokee lands of SouthEast that became Georgia + how those Native Americans were death marched away. Now, the USA government that rebelled from British rule by war, then continued the genocide, "recognizes" the surviving descendants of estimated 15 million murdered Original Americans in only 562 Native American tribes as sovereign Nations within the USA. After 400 years of exterminating + exiling Native Americans from their homeland + culture, Native American Nation Citizens are also USA citizens subject to the laws of both governments, surrounded by "immigrants" who celebrate their "god given right" to conquer them. by ~mod*mom~ at 25.11.14 © |
