And I Remember
Recently this country marked the second
anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the
Twin Towers and the Pentagon. I keep
hearing that this was the worst terrorist
attack to happen in this country.
Today we say WADO, WOPILA, Thank You!
But while my heart goes out to the dead,
their families and those who are forever
scarred by these events, there have been
millions of people murdered in this country
by terrorists.
It would be impossible for me to list all
of the acts of terror our People have faced,
but I want to mention a few of them
because our People are also
worthy of remembrance.
You won't find many monuments to these,
the unquiet dead. But their bones and blood
make up the soil where your shopping
centers and highways now stand.
Where is their memorial?
It is in the hearts of those who remember.
Today I remember:
The thousands of Cherokee,
Creek, Choctaw, Iroquois, Ojibway,
Pottawatami, Seminole, Sioux & Chickasaw
(and many others) who suffered untold agony
during the forced removal from their
homelands in the 1830s.
Innocent men, women and little children
perished in concentration camps or froze
and starved to death on the
Trail
Where
They Cried.
The 90 women and children who died in the
Bear River Massacre in southeastern Idaho.
The 200 Cheyenne men, women and children
who were slain at Sand Creek in eastern
Colorado by the US Cavalry led by Col.
John Chivington, a Methodist minister who
ordered his men to "Kill and scalp all,
big and little; nits make lice."
The 200 murdered Blackfeet women and
children who died at Maries River in
northern Montana and the other 140 People
who were left to freeze to death
in
the January cold.
The 103 Cheyenne women and children
who were butchered on the Washita River
in western Oklahoma.
The 200 to 300 Sioux who were slaughtered
under a flag of truce at Wounded Knee,
South Dakota.
The 500 Sauk and Fox Indians led by
Black Hawk who were massacred by
militia forces while trying to negotiate
a surrender.
The Yuki's and other tribes of Indians in
California whose populations declined from
11,000 to less than 1000 because white men
wanted the land to search for gold.
Organized Indian hunts were held on
Sundays and our People were killed
for sport.
The little children who were kidnapped
from their homes and forced to attend
BIA schools. Many of them died alone and
lie in unmarked graves.
From the small pox, measles, typhoid,
cholera, diphtheria, TB, and VD
epidemics brought to us by the white
invaders to the continued genocide
still being waged against us, we know about
terrorism.
And I remember.
The End.... Or is it the End of The Suffering
of the Many Nations.........

Text on back of our Turtle Drum Shirts
There was a time when men took no more than he needed, that time is gone...there was a time when he gave something back, that time is gone...there was a time when he worshipped the Creator and honored creation, that time too is gone...and now the waters are polluted, our natural resources are all but gone and Creation is dying...It Is Time to find our way back to the Earth.
