Native Americans were not granted universal citizenship until 1924. 148 years after the Declaration of Independence, 59 years after they freed all the slaves, and still less than 100 years ago!

The policy of placing #NativeAmericans on #reservations was, beginning in the late 1830s under Commissioner T. Hartley Crawford, known as #Concentration. That stuff @AOC is talking about? It has a very, very long history in North America. #ConcentrationCamps pic.twitter.com/ruSbjA3bHo

Native Americans were so skilled at riding horses and engaging in combat that the US military shot the horses. Real history.

First Nations have always been oppressed and quartered before finally rebelling against their invaders whether they be English or French or Dutch etc. It is too that First Nations of North and Some of South America were not able to defeat their invaders… They have a lot of history which should not be suppressed and they worshipped Mother Earth which is dying right now… because of lack of understanding…
