Welcome
back my fellow learners, today's article is about the legendary Red
Indians, and who they were and what happened to them. However, most
of us have watched the movies or documentaries, and know what or
should I say who happened to them.
The
American Indians as most of us know where the first settlers of
America. They were there long before being invaded by infidels, some
say more than a million years before. Over those thousands of years,
they splintered and formed different cells, that lived and hunted on
this once fertile land.
The
majority of them were a peaceful and lived for family, creativity and
prayer. They worshipped the land and revered nature. They looked on
nature and her bounty as a gift from the gods, and firmly believed it
should be protected and treated correctly. However, the origins of
the Indians still remains a mystery. Some say they migrated as far
back as the prehistoric times, via the Bering Strait Bridge, or even
from Siberia. However, this is just hearsay.
Sadly,
this peaceful and loving race was doomed the second Europeans
invaded. These usurpers drove the Indians from their land, and this
once peaceful and proud race were forced to fight. Many wars were
fought and lost because of this. And some Indians even befriended the
white men.
However,
their fate was sealed, in 1830 Andrew Jacksons removal act forced
the once proud race to the Western part of the country.
However,
after many centuries, the American Indians are finally getting the
recognition and respect they sorely deserve, with Museums being
erected countrywide showing exactly who and what this once proud
nation once was.
Once
again this just goes to show, what exactly men are capable of, many
atrocities were done against the Indians, even to their women and
children. The white man should be ashamed of themselves, after all
they were the guests not the other way around. But it just proves how
greedy and bloodthirsty the Americans are, and even today, some
things have not changed.
The only
difference is, the wars are fought in boardrooms first before the
killing begins.
