I see folks are completely missing the point :

Hypocrisy of the protestors.

How can any non native indian in the US protest about illegal immigration when they themselves are a product of illegal immigration. It does not matter what happened to the indians, whether they were peaceful or war-like etc etc. That native indian was angry at the absolute hypocrisy of the protestors.

He is 100% correct.

That rant brightened my day. Star & flag for my red peoples.

It seems to me that Native Americans should know better than anyone about the problems associated with unchecked illegal immigration. It's obvious that the ones pushing hardest for this are the elites that want cheap labor to lower wages for everyone. We should just go with our natural distrust of the motives of the Federal Government.

Bump, Bump, Bump. BBBump it up!

I'm caucasian and even I will say white people have nothing to b***h about.

Except benefit from it.

And refuse to give the land back, and be hypocritical when more people want to come, and perpetuate the old racist stereotypes about their culture (as seen in this thread) etc.

I find it so interesting that so many people seem to think that what happened to the Native Americans was a "long time ago" or some rubbish like that. Hate to burst those bubbles but my daughter's grandfather (he's in his 50's) was removed from his home and raised in a boarding school that abused him whenever he spoke his native tongue. He sure wasn't the only one who grew up like that on the reservation that I lived on in Arizona for 7 years. Whole lot of Nat Am Baby Boomers with boarding school scars.

He's not even a senior technically yet but yep, all that stuff that we did with the Nat Am was a long time ago. Keep telling yourselves that.

Can't wait for the coming months/years...if only we all knew the full extent of what America is in for...land of the free my ass hahahahahahaha...

The ignorance in this thread is unbelievable.

Not all native tribes were "savages" as the propaganda stated. They were simply defending their home.

Only one poster brought up the Seneca by stating that their laws were the basis of America's constitution. I'd like to add a correction to that post.

The Iroquois Nation or Iroquois League was a confederation of 5 tribes which included the Seneca, Cayuga, Mohawk, Oneida, and the Onondaga peoples. I believe sometime around the year 1720 a tribe called the Tuscarora joined. They came together in a Grand Council with around 40-50 representatives.

To all those said they had no form of governance and were uncivilized, you are wrong.

The alliance between the nations was extremely influential to the U.S. Constitution and was even recognized by congress somewhere between the late 80's and early 90's.

In the end, their leaders were more American than today's American leaders since the Iroquois actually followed their Constitution.

Side note: I wrote in a rush meaning all of the above was based on memory since I studied them deeply a few years back. Feel free to correct me as you see fit.
