native american Tee

The once peaceful people who live in what is now North, Central, and South America. But since the Europeans came over the ocean, everything has changed, no shit. The Spanish and Africans (slaves) blended with many of the southern natives who weren't dead yet. Some natives retreated far into the mountains and forests (and saved their languages and cultures) so in a way, they were luckier than the northern natives. As for them, they were nearly fucking exterminated (again through diseases, poverty, and murders). 95% of natives were killed by the mid 1800's. And it didn't help when they were "removed" by the people who believed in Manifest Destiny, forced onto reservations (might as well be concentration camps), forbidden to practice traditions and speak their languages, and converted to Catholicism. Here's a some random things people should know: 1. DON'T compare our suffering to other peoples' (like the Africans and Jewish people). What, is there a contest? 2. It's safe to say that we LOVE to dance and sing. And have sexual relations. Some more obvious than others. 3. Not all of us are fucking alcoholics. And only a SMALL percentage of reservations own casinos, which they pay hard worked CA$H for. 4. Every tribe is DIFFERENT. 5. Not all of us are bitter for what happened. After all, many of us are blended with other nationalities (like latinos/metizos, metis and griffes... many more!) 6. We're NOT Asian descendents. Just because we didn't leave things out to rot, and now archeaologists are getting bored, doesn't mean we came from fucking Asia. No disrespect to Asia though. We were created here. Understand? 7. We're protective of our families and friends. If you want one, you'll have the whole clan on your ass! 8. Our southern cousins below the border are NOT "illegals", they were here too, but they often get overlooked. We feel you. 9. It's fucking rude to dress your kids up and "indians" for Halloween. Red makeup, fake leather outfit, and feathers... And I ain't about to hit a child. 10. To my fellow native americans: Be strong, yes, just that!!!!!
