[quote]THIS DAY IN HISTORY: Monday, November 29, 2022, is the
anniversary of the Sand Creek Massacre, where approximately 230
Cheyenne & Arapaho were killed at the hands of 675 U.S.
soldiers, known as the Colorado territory militia.
Among the dead on November 29, 1864 were at least 105 women,
children and elders.
The soldiers were commanded by Colonel John M. Chivington to
attack a village of about 750 Cheyenne and Arapaho along the
Sand Creek River in Colorado.
...
The Treaty of Fort Laramie in 1851 had given the American
Indians extensive territory, but the Pikes Peak gold rush in
1858 and other factors had persuaded the U.S. to renegotiate the
terms of the treaty. In 1861, the Treaty of Fort Wise was signed
by Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho chiefs.
The treaty took from the Southern Cheyenne and Arapaho much of
the land given to them by the earlier treaty, reducing the size
of their reservation to about 1/13th of the original amount.
...
“We will never forget the hundreds of lives that were brutally
taken here — men, women and children murdered in an unprovoked
attack,” Haaland said in a written statement. “Stories like the
Sand Creek Massacre are not easy to tell but it is my duty — our
duty — to ensure that they are told.”
In a long overdue gesture, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) in
August 2021 signed an Executive Order rescinding a pair of 19th
century proclamations that granted the right to kill American
Indians. Polis called the two proclamations, which set the stage
for the Sand Creek Massacre, "shameful."
On the Sand Creek Massacre Foundation’s website, they say: “The
Sand Creek Massacre National Historic Site is the place where
their spirits reside, where we come to learn, to remember, to
heal, and to make sure such atrocities never happen
again.”[/quote]
This requires eliminating the bloodlines of those who
perpetrated it the first time.

Why The Gold Rush Is One Of The Darkest Moments In US History |
Whitewashed
[quote]Beneath the promise of gold in California in the late
1840s and early 1850s, white settlers were well armed and
prepared to kill Native Americans who lived there. These violent
attacks against Native Americans were often supported and funded
by the state's newly created government. To uncover more details
about the gold rush, we spoke with Jayden Lim and Nicole
Myers-Lim of the California Indian Museum and Benjamin Madley,
author of "An American Genocide."[/quote]

Woke comments:
[quote]The massive irony of the whole welsh myth along with that
of vikings and other European contact is that we know exactly
what happened when there was ACTUALLY widespread contact. Which
is widespread disease and famine, overthrowing of societies
through force, slavery, etc…. These Europeans will do anything
to absolve their ancestors of their known genocides.[/quote]
[quote]I think it's also ironic in the extreme that many of the
early European settlements may not have gotten off the ground
had it not been for aboriginal people saving those settlers'
lives and making it possible to survive through the first
winters in the "new world." Little did those natives know that
their new friends would eventually hand out blankets inoculated
with small pox in an attempt to wipe them out, and being among
the first people to use biological weapons this way.[/quote]
