The Wounded Knee Massacre: 121st Anniversary

by: winter rabbit

Wed Dec 28, 2011 at 10:33:52 AM PST

Photobucket

The Sand Creek Massacre and the Washita Massacre both led to the Wounded Knee Massacre. The Sand Creek Massacre brought the realization that "the soldiers were destroying everything Cheyenne - the land, the buffalo, and the people themselves," and the Washita Massacre added even more genocidal evidence to those facts. The Sand Creek Massacre caused the Cheyenne to put away their old grievances with the Sioux and join them in defending their lives against the U.S. extermination policy. The Washita Massacre did that even more so. After putting the Wounded Knee Massacre briefly into historical perspective, we'll focus solely on the Wounded Knee Massacre itself for the 121st Anniversary of the Wounded Knee Massacre.

What's the main point?


Denials Of The Genocide Of Native Americans

There are many other examples of denial by perpetrators who wish to escape negative reactions to their deeds. More troubling are the later denials by people not directly involved in the genocidal events but who appear to have ideological reasons for their denials.

Is it that members of the New Apostolic Reformation engage in genocide denial, by inferring American Indians in one area deserved to be exterminated, since they were "cannibals?"

I've been through a lot of changes. I moved to WNY a couple years ago, got divorced, moved back home to Oklahoma and started over. I've done some good ground helping a couple Native American causes, but my muse hasn't felt much like talking - until I was visiting my grandparents for the first time in over 2 years with my new girlfriend and saw this.

Help Defeat Cannon AFB's War on Northern NM

by: TheFatLadySings

Fri Sep 23, 2011 at 14:05:44 PM PDT

Fifty years after Eisenhower's famous warning to beware the growing power of the military-industrial complex, speaker after speaker at a public hearing in Santa Fe, NM, suggested that Cannon Air Force Base has committed acts of war against rural tribes and counties in New Mexico and should be shut down.

PhotobucketAt issue was Cannon's plan to expand its Low Altitude Tactical Navigation (LATN) site to include 21 southern and eastern Colorado counties and 17 eastern and northern New Mexico counties. Affected tribes include the Jicarilla Apache, the Southern Ute and the Navajo. Several Pueblos are near the training zone as well including Ohkay Owinge, Taos, Santa Clara and San Idefonso.

And of course, my own county, Rio Arriba, which is home to several tribes and many Hispanic ranching families that predate the United States of America.

Dominionism's Threat Against Indian Country

by: winter rabbit

Sun Feb 06, 2011 at 07:22:14 AM PST

( - promoted by navajo)

Religion and state have united to assimilate the American Indian in the past, such as with Ulysses S. Grant's Peace Policy that created the Indian Boarding Schools, and in more recent times such as  "'pro-Peabody Western Coal' Indians and obtaining a false 'Hopi-Navajo' Tribal Counsel designation by the Bureau of Indian Affairs..." who were  several First Mesa Hopi who had been converted to Mormonism.  'Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them,' and you cannot change what you do not acknowledge.

Brenda Golden made a comment in her interview on Red Town Radio with Chris Francisco (Navajo), national coordinator of the Longest Walk III, a couple months ago. "It'll be hard to get people involved. It's not something that makes people mad like racism (paraphrasing)." So here's an email I got with updated links for the fundraiser. After that, I hope I don't make anyone mad.

Still Dream Obama Signs UN Declaration on Indigenous Rights

I dreamed Obama signed the UN Declaration on Indigenous Rights, and I still do.


Canada has endorsed the UN Declaration on indigenous peoples three years after the declaration was approved by the General Assembly.

In a statement released last Friday, Canada's Indian and Northern Affairs department said, 'The Government of Canada would like to acknowledge the Aboriginal men and women who played an important role in the development of this Declaration.

'In endorsing the Declaration, Canada reaffirms its commitment to build on a positive and productive relationship with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples to improve the well-being of Aboriginal Canadians, based on our shared history, respect, and a desire to move forward together.'

"Christian" Fascists & Cultural Genocide: Burning Native Objects

by: winter rabbit

Sat Nov 06, 2010 at 06:40:14 AM PDT

( - promoted by Aji)

The burning of the Library of Alexandria is either attributed to Theophilus, Patriarch of Alexandria, to Julius Caesar, or to Moslem Caliph Omar. Regardless of whoever destroyed "The loss of the ancient world's single greatest archive of knowledge," the burning was about cultural destruction for the sake of power. Power to control and to eliminate viewpoints that differed with their own. Today, it is "Christian" fascists who strive to eliminate differing viewpoints to acquire the power to control.

"Fascism is definitely and absolutely opposed to the doctrines of liberalism, both in the political and the economic sphere."

"Fascism most often rears its ugly head in times of turmoil and great economic difficulty."

"The Lord Places People in This or That Country - Uganda (Edited)"

Julius Oyet is represented in the video.


Oyet is a self-designated Apostle and leader of the Lifeline Ministries. He has found favor with President Museveni for praying against areas of Northern Uganda once controlled by the rebel Lord's Resistance Army. Oyet's Born Again Federation in Uganda oversees over 10,000 churches and estimates 9 million Christians attend these churches.

Oyet promotes what is known as the "7 mountains strategy"; this is the belief that Christianity should advance in a society by taking control of seven domains:

To establish The Kingdom of God on the earth, we must claim and possess The Seven Mountains of Culture namely: Business, Government, Religion, Family, Media, Education and Entertainment.

Mark Anthony Rolo: Recalling the Trail of Tears

"The Trail of Tears began 170 years ago this week. We should recall it not as an aberration but as a logical outgrowth of an inhumane policy. And we should insist, in its memory, that Indian treaties and Indian sovereignty be honored.

When President Andrew Jackson ordered the Cherokee Nation off its Georgia homelands, the U.S. government signed a treaty with the Cherokees, promising them a $5 million payment upon successful removal west of the Mississippi.

Nearly one century and a half after the death of Roman Nose, Apostle Jay Swallow is on the War Council, has accepted the apology from the United States on behalf of all Tribal Nations, wars against evil, possesses medicine to make rain, and has divine authority to commit cultural genocide.

War Council

To accomplish the next phase of the Lord’s assignment to free our state and region from the reproach of alignment with Stonehenge and the Baal structures, a war council of apostolic and prophetic leaders was convened.  These leaders all carry unique and specific anointings of authority to deal with land issues, particularly in this territory.  The War Council included: Ap. Jay & Joan Swallow, Ap. John Benefiel, Ap. Negiel Bigpond, Ap. Diane Buker (FL), Ap. Billy Joe & Ruthie Young (MS), Ap. Jacquie Tyre, Ap. Venessa Battle, Ap. Bradley White, Ap. Mark Hawkins, and apostolic intercessor, Deborah Landwerlen.

Recognizing Genocide Denial Against American Indians

by: winter rabbit

Mon Oct 25, 2010 at 17:54:02 PM PDT

( - promoted by navajo)

The extent to which a Nation denies the genocide it has committed is a measure of that Nation's social conscience. The social conscience of the United States is infected with numerous rationalizations that keep the dark light from shining. Federal and state institutions are named after mass murderers, and the land tells a story of massacres and atrocities that occurred. But the truth is not forgotten, it is denied.


Source

8. DENIAL is the eighth stage that always follows a genocide. It is among the surest indicators of further genocidal massacres. The perpetrators of genocide dig up the mass graves, burn the bodies, try to cover up the evidence and intimidate the witnesses. They deny that they committed any crimes, and often blame what happened on the victims. They block investigations of the crimes, and continue to govern until driven from power by force, when they flee into exile.

Genocide is not just denied in the United States, it is celebrated.

The term "redskins" actually refers to the Indian skins and body parts that bounty hunters had to show in order to receive payment for killing Indians, the National Congress of American Indians argued in a brief filed before the high court.
