BIA Head Admits to American Indian Genocide

2000 – Head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs admits to crimes, “Remarks of Kevin Gover, Assistant Secretary–Indian Affairs, Department of the Interior, at the Ceremony Acknowledging the 175th Anniversary of the Establishment of the Bureau of Indian Affairs.” CLICK HERE for Full Text.
“Immediately upon its establishment in 1824, the Office of Indian Affairs was an instrument by which the United States enforced its ambition against the Indian nations. As the nation expanded West, the agency participated in the ethnic cleansing that befell the western tribes. War begets tragedy, but the deliberate spread of disease, the decimation of the bison herds, the use of alcohol to destroy mind and body, and the cowardly killing of women and children made for tragedy on a scale so ghastly that it cannot be dismissed as merely the inevitable consequence of the clash of competing ways of life. After the devastation of tribal economies, the BIA set out to destroy all things Indian by forbidding the speaking of Indian languages, prohibiting traditional religious activities, outlawing traditional government, and making Indians ashamed of who they were. Worst of all, the BIA committed these acts against the children entrusted to its boarding schools. The trauma of shame, fear, and anger has passed from one generation to the next, and manifests itself in the rampant alcoholism, drug abuse, and domestic violence that plague Indian country. The BIA expresses its profound sorrow for these wrongs, extends this formal apology to Indian people for its historical conduct, and makes promises for its future conduct. “

Followup on Obama’s “Final Solution”

Response to Mentally Challenged Americans (who do not understand the Constitution of the United States of America)

My statements and video regarding President Obama’s “Final Solution” to the “Indian Problem” have generated a lot of response, about 10 to 1 in agreement. So, this message is directed at the 10% of our readers who do not yet understand our history and the significance of President Obama’s statements.

While many people point out the President Obama was referring to the Tribes of Palestine or the Tribes of Israel, or just using the word willy-nilly; we disagree. The ONLY “Lines of Tribes” in America are those of the American Indians.

Other people have pointed out that President Obama has spoken to Indian groups and invited “Native Journalists to the White House” and Tribal Councils to the inauguration. Below is a common response that I will address.

With all due respect, why would Obama invite his newly adopted Crow parents to the White House for the Inauguration? Why would he invite a team of Native journalists to accompany him the week before the Inauguration? If he was going to dissolve the sovereignty, why did he invite all of the tribal councils to meet with him in Washington? Why didn’t he just ignore them like every other politician has ever done?

I am not saying he is NOT going to dissolve sovereignty, I am just curious. I am going to forward this on to one of the Native journalists, Jodi Rave, who was on that traveling team with Obama and ask her what she thinks. I think she will have better insight into these questions than I will. And in the meantime, I think it is better to know the answers to those questions before one spreads hate and dissension. I have seen radical activists make things worse because they assumed it was better to go full steam ahead into attacks. It is toooooooo early in the game to make these assumptions. I am not saying ignore it, I am staying, watch and wait. Its very early in the game.

In the meantime, here is her blog from her trip. There is a lot amount of stuff about the Crow tribe participation. Start from the bottom up. http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=59108769417&h=dSZGc&u=xl_MP
Respectfully,

Dear C.R. and others yet sleeping,

It is evident that you have not read, or at least not understood, Einstein’s definition of Insanity: “Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

As a Lakotah/Dakota and Crow Indian, I don’t have the time, nor the desire to explain colonialism to you. I will point out the insidious and self-destructive nature of the colonized mindset.

Those “Natives Journalists” mentioned above who were invited to Washington, D.C. are part of an ongoing conspiracy to sell out the American Indians. The Tribal Councils invited by Obama are also known as the “Tribal Government” or, in a more sophisticated society, “Colonial Puppets” and “Vichy Indians.” “Native American” is U.S.A. “Newspeak” term used to identify all its indigenous prisoners which include, but are not limited to, the Marshall Islands, Palau, Micronesia, American Samoa, Aluetes, Inupiats, Yupiks, Hawaiians and American Indians.

You say “watch and wait.” While you and the rest of the World have been watching and waiting, these “Natives” are, and have been, aiding and abetting the continual loss of our People, our Land, our mineral rights, and our water rights. And all along, the government denies us redress as in the Cobell case. (http://www.indiantrust.com/)

The history of the U.S.A.’s genocidal policies spans all 43 past presidents. How can we be expected to trust the 44th president?

George Washington…
In 1779, George Washington instructed Major General John Sullivan to attack Iroquois people. Washington stated, “lay waste all the settlements around…that the country may not be merely overrun, but destroyed”. In the course of the carnage and annihilation of Indian people, Washington also instructed his general not to “listen to any overture of peace before the total ruin of their settlements is effected”. (Stannard, David E. AMERICAN HOLOCAUST. New York: Oxford University Press, 1992. pp. 118-121.)

In 1783, Washington’s anti-Indian sentiments were apparent in his comparisons of Indians with wolves: “Both being beast of prey, tho’ they differ in shape”, he said. George Washington’s policies of extermination were realized in his troops behaviors following a defeat. Troops would skin the bodies of Iroquois “from the hips downward to make boot tops or leggings”. Indians who survived the attacks later re-named the nation’s first president as “Town Destroyer”. Approximately 28 of 30 Seneca towns had been destroyed within a five year period. (Ibid)

Thomas Jefferson…
In 1807, Thomas Jefferson instructed his War Department that, should any Indians resist against America stealing Indian lands, the Indian resistance must be met with “the hatchet”. Jefferson continued, “And…if ever we are constrained to lift the hatchet against any tribe, ” he wrote, “we will never lay it down till that tribe is exterminated, or is driven beyond the Mississippi.” Jefferson, the slave owner, continued, “in war, they will kill some of us; we shall destroy all of them”. (Ibid)

In 1812, Jefferson said that American was obliged to push the backward Indians “with the beasts of the forests into the Stony Mountains”. One year later Jefferson continued anti-Indian statements by adding that America must “pursue [the Indians] to extermination, or drive them to new seats beyond our reach”. (Ibid)

Abraham Lincoln…
In 1862, President Abraham Lincoln ordered the execution, by hanging, of 38 Dakota Sioux prisoners in Mankato, Minnesota. Most of those executed were holy men or political leaders of their camps. None of them were responsible for committing the crimes they were accused of. Coined as the Largest Mass Execution in U.S. History. (Brown, Dee. BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE. New York: Holt, Rinehart, Winston, 1970. pp. 59-61)

Theodore Roosevelt…
The fourth face you see on that “Stony Mountain” is America’s first twentieth century president, alleged American hero, and Nobel peace prize recipient, Theodore Roosevelt. This Indian fighter firmly grasped the notion of Manifest Destiny saying that America’s extermination of the Indians and thefts our their lands “was ultimately beneficial as it was inevitable”. Roosevelt once said, “I don’t go so far as to think that the only good Indians are dead Indians, but I believe nine out of ten are, and I shouldn’t like to inquire too closely into the case of the tenth”.

In Gaza, the reported statistics are 65% unemployment and an average life expectancy for males of about 73 years. On the Pine Ridge Sioux Indian Reservation, the unemployment rate is over 80% and the average life expectancy for men is just 44 years, lower even than Haiti. This county, Shannon, is the poorest in the U.S. What the government has done to the Indians is a holocaust worse than what the Nazis perpetrated. In 1492, it is estimated that the Indian population was between 12 and 20 million. By the 1900 census, this figure had been reduced to 250,000 full-bloods. Now there is even less. An extermination rate both greater in absolute numbers and percentage population than what happened to the Jews and Gypsies in Germany.

Yet this extermination is celebrated in the media and movies with notions of “manifest destiny”, “westward expansion” and the totally inaccurate portrayal of Indians as savages. Clearly the European invaders were the savages!

Need I say more on this?

Now, it’s not just the American Indian I am concerned about, it is ALL Americans. You should be alarmed with Obama’s economic and financial planning which will guarantee that you and yours will soon be reduced to the same abject poverty we have been enduring for more than a century. Welcome to the U.S.A Reservation!

Obama Announces “Final Solution” to the “Indian Problem”

The inaugural address is THE most important speech a President EVER makes. Billions of People look at it. The speech is written over a period of many weeks by a whole team of writers. It is edited and re-edited. Each word and each phrase is scrutinized so as to not offend anyone. Click to View the VIDEO.

“For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness. We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus – and non-believers.” He has placed our successful AND peaceful way of life and Spirituality into the category of “Non-Believers!”

Then he uses the phrase “the lines of tribes shall soon dissolve.” What does he mean? Certainly, NOT the tribes of Israel. Who, but the American Indians are referred to as Tribes? We are the ONLY ones.

Obama’s “Final Solution” to the centuries-old “Indian Problem” is total dissolution. Click to View the VIDEO.
