Native American Bitches
An observance of what many people will gladly overlook.
"Deer, I am sorry to hurt you, but my people are hungry." This comes from an old Choctaw Hunting Prayer that was spoken before any hunt. Consider the Native American above. "Bird, I am sorry to hurt you, but my costume requires your feathers. And as for the other ninety-one birds, I am sorry, but my costume requires your feathers as well." Society has come to consider the Natives of our world as "One with nature" and "Peaceful with the land". Where else have I seen this stereotype?

That's about it. And of course Disney has their facts straight.
Can you guess which John Smith is a bunch of crap made up by Disney? Hint: He is holding a gun.
The cartoon to the right was made by Disney, where John Smith fell in love with the beautiful Pocahontas and struggled to make peace with the Indians. The portrait to the left was the real John Smith, who fought off Indian raids until his capture. Yes, he was an Indian killer. And yes, the Indians attacked them. And, yes, Pocahontas was eleven years old when this took place.
"Will you ever begin to understand the meaning of the very soil beneath your feet? From a grain of sand to a great mountain, all is sacred. Yesterday and tomorrow exist eternally upon this continent. We natives are guardians of this sacred place." This quote comes from an Indian of the Mohawk nation. But do the Indians respect the great mountain, the forest, the animal or the human being? Even back then, Indians fought brutal battles amongst each other. Their insignificant population is the true cause for the abundancy of game. There's no evidence that they respected the wildlife. They killed what they needed, whether it was a dead deer or ninety-two dead birds. The respect we thought they were made of ends up to be just another assumption of society. But then again, I wouldn't know. I'm not a doctor. Here's what I do know.

They live lives like you and me. They live in houses, eat Spaghettios and watch The Simpsons every night. But they are not "tax-payers" like us. They are the sons and daughters of the Chief. The blood of "Nature" and "Peace" runs through their veins. As we all know, their ancestors "Respected the land" until white man arrived on the shores of North America. They deserve land, financial benefits and tax exemptions. Right? Lets jump back to one of their many ancestors.
The Pueblo indians, found across the great Americas, had a very interesting history. Though little is known of their past, scientists have pieced together both artifacts from ruins and local Indian legends to materialize some sort of history.
Hundreds of villages lay scattered across the Northern and Southern Americas. Seperated by miles of desert, the villages become self sufficient. The one thing that stands between life and death in this world is a drought. The Pueblo people do have one way to ensure rainfall, however. An additional village was constructed far from any other. It produced no vegitation, found little game and relied on almost every other village to maintain life. In return for food, this sacred village produced what the Indians called Artifacts. These were rocks or clay that were blessed by the high priests. It increased the chances of rainfall. Sure it did.
Well, thats what the Indians thought. In reality, the rocks wasted about 13 cubic inches of pocket space. The priests must've known this too, for they began to fear abandonment from the villages, as well as their own people. As the region entered an extended drought, radical means were necesary to keep loyalty. The priests sacraficed the disloyal followers and consumed their corpses. In addition to ensuring loyalty amongst the villages, this act kept the priests well fed during the drought. A time came when the drought continued, and distant villages stopped visiting their sacred dwelling for the rocks they once believed in. These villages migrated and became the tribes we can recognize today. The one sacred village was recently found, burried under dunes of sand and rock. All that is left of the high priests are partial skeletons.
Native Americans today will make claims, as will I. They want benefits for reasons they cannot historically uphold, reasons I cannot historically fight. I consider this a loss on both sides, a lack of knowlege and a shame. Thankfully, we live in a society where man does not think. Native Americans will recieve their benefits and I will be punished for racism. In conclusion, I would just like to point out the fact that Native Americans were no less vile than the first white man who came here. They killed one another, as did the Europeans. They resorted to active cannibalism, like other parts of the world. They hunted, as did the rest of the world. The fact that they did not discover the use of clothing does not make them any more "Peace loving" then the rest of us. I have nothing against my fellow human beings. I do, however, object to the actions of the certain few who think they are something different. Something they clearly are not.
