Around this time every year, Americans come together to share a feast commemorating a myth about its first inhabitants.
An indigenous tribe did eat with the Pilgrims in 1621 and sign a treaty with the colonists that had settled on their shores -- an act of survival rather one of goodwill and friendship. But the relationship would eventually break down, decimating the tribe's population and whittling away its land.
For many Native Americans, Thanksgiving is a day of mourning 03:07The Mashpee Wampanoag have lived in what's now Massachusetts and eastern Rhode Island for more than 12,000 years. Despite their storied history in the US, they weren't recognized by the federal government until 2007. And in recent years, court rulings challenging whether the tribe's reservation is eligible to be put in trust have posed an existential threat.
rabiasquared Thanks for the article rabiasquared. My first GivingTuesday spending was a quarterly donation to ndncollective
Afro_Herper Modern man has been a pretty poor steward of this great land, that’s for sure.
They take their lands , they segregate them, they treat them as animals and massacred most of them , because they were the native Americans and they wanted their lands . And now they have to prove the white man's definition of an native American. Unbelievable.
Your lands belong to the dinosaurs mate. Please stop. You're embarrassing yourself.
All of us should go back to where are ancestors came from. Europeans, back to Europe... Africans, back to Africa... Asians, back to Asia, etc. Even 'indigenous' people should go back to where they came from when they crossed the Bering Strait 10,000 years ago.
And I want a milltaxcfree doll
Fuck cnn
“ Hey ya hey ya hey ya hey ya “ What in the world does that mean?
Traded their land for green bean casserole. Sad.
Continuation of original story from 1779.
hit the gym and maybe we will talk, FATSO
so nice to see native american news. Along with the blm and racist statues removed we may need to end thanksgiving with its history.. we can be thankful everyday.
They can just say they identify as “Indian” the government will bend backwards for them then.
And that tribe probably seized it from another tribe in the distant past. Silly to think that one group has a claim to a particular piece of property for all time.
I am the decendants of caveman, indigenous people stole my family's land and I want it back. hrw
Meanwhile, we pardon treasonous muthafuckas...make it make sense
Thought the land belong to everyone?
A verification by descendants of those who took the land by force from these people....
Perhaos being a 'woke' Australian, whose awakening started over 40 years ago, when ever I see the term 'Indian' in the American context I cringe. Is it not as iffensive there as 'Aborignee' is in Australia? Why perpetuate this gross navigational error?
Arm up, man up, try and take it back.
The Indian nation in Arizona was hit particularly hard by covid 19 and the sad part is that they after all these years they don't have running water. Isn't that the least we can do?
Start with Alyssa Milano.
They could buy it back. Or conquer it.
What say you Joe?
Oh sure you can tweet out “Indians” but we have to rename a football franchise? Two-way street
anti-Marxismlist! On my opinion, the human society is running on these: 1 technology define theoretical economic aggregate 2 labour define gross economy 3 finance system define distribution of wealth from gross economy
Every piece of land that people live on was taken from other people. Will we relocate the Ute Tribe because they stole their land from the Navajo? Ridiculous.
Get a close up. They're all White like Pocahontas, 1/3600 LOL
They had their chance 500 years ago
Oh sure you can tweet out “Indians” but we have to rename a football franchise? Two-way street.
Yeah, tell me again how systemic racism doesn’t exist.
Give them Utah back at least. Get rid of the secret bases and nuclear dumping sites etc and just hand it back
We conquered the land. They can suck it
there was a war, thewy lost, they should be lucky they have any land at all, wtf is going on over there
