~ Upon recently viewing a wonderful video documentary of a project that a generous American family and Kleenex corporation teamed up to bring water to a Dine'/ Navajo family I felt moved in my heart to feel gratitude to the Creator Almighty for placing such kindness into the hearts of his children to perform such altruistic acts of unadulterated charity for the suffering and to raise much needed awareness of the inhumane situations which have been imposed upon many Indigenous tribes throughout the United States, as well as Canada, for many generations while the government controlled media effectively has kept the mainstream American public ignorant of these human rights violations and inhumane conditions deliberately imposed upon Indigenous tribes with the U.S.A. for the purpose of making living conditions so intolerable that the people will give up their communities, their homes, their culture, and their language to disperse themselves throughout U.S. cities and vanish completely in the way that mainstream American television, Hollywood movies, and government public school's history books have attempted to portray to the world for such a very long time.
~ Thank you Kleenex and PAPERFORWATER.ORG for bringing public awareness about an issue that has plagued many Native communities for many generations without receiving 'any' attention or news coverage from the Government controlled media.
~However, let me add, as soon as I was brought to such joy over this beautiful act of kindness I soon read the jealous, angry, and bigoted remarks of some non-native Americans in the comment section below the film. To may surprise most of these negative comments came from Americans whom not many generations ago were a minority in their own right within the United States.
~In response to the plethora of negative and misinformed comments spewed by many of the non-tribal/non-indigenous Americans whom have been fed Government disinformation and public school propaganda all of their lives there are some facts I feel led to 'briefly' touch upon so that only willful ignorance will be the blame of anyone whom shares their ideas and reads this brief writing.
~For the people in Flint, whom have 'recently' had to experience this hardship, and have received so much media attention with such little help, I pray that they shall receive relief very soon.
~I'd like to say that the Government doesn't take care of people on the Rez, but in fact have always done and continue to do everything in their power to machinate against the people, poison the land, increase hardships, and subtly continue the genocide against Native people while controlling the media and silencing Native activists, through the F.B.I., who succeed in drawing any National attention to the oppression, biological terrorism, and deliberate indifference being imposed upon Native communities across the U.S. who are determined to maintain tribal and ethnic identity as well as culture and language...
~What does the B.L.M. have to do with it, is that the Bureau of Land Management control reservation land and rule it with an iron fist. The B.L.M. is the arm which Uncle Sam and corporations enact land grabs through breech of treaty, strip mine and poison the land and water, create bio-and-eco-terrorism on reservations which result in epidemic proportions of death, birth defects, still born babies, dying cattle, land that is increasingly more impossible to farm, restriction of where one can now set down a trailer or build a home on the reservation, the granting nuclear power facilities permits to operate on reservation lands and pollute with more toxic chemicals, the B.L.M. grants mining corporations permits to mine radioactive minerals on reservation lands despite tribal protests and cares not about the epidemic deaths and birth defects which have come/are coming from this, and numerous other issues which Americans are unaware of because the Government controlled media will 'never' report on these issues.
~Native people are still the forgotten people and in mainstream American society usually only come up (often erroneously) in history books, Hollywood westerns, and whenever someone claims that they're grandmother was a Choctaw or Cherokee princess or their grandfather was a Choctaw or Cherokee chief. Or when propagandist want to rewrite our history in order to destroy Native people's origins and ancestral ties to this land while strengthening their own claims to this land, in espousing prevarications concerning an ancient immigration from Asia (even though recent DNA studies have proven no genetic ancestry to Asians, Africans or Europeans within our full blood Native family member and tribal members DNA). And any other time Natives are addressed by American public is referring to casinos, which not all tribes have nor do all tribal members receive financial benefits from them.
~In fact the Government receives most of the revenue from them and that is why they are allowed to operate on or near 'some' reservations. Never the less, majority of Native fathers and many mothers are forced to work off the Rez and send money home to their children, as they watch them grow up in photos the way prison inmates do with their children, and then there is the massive unspoken epidemic, which the Government controlled media and law enforcement hide from the American public, which is the epidemic of missing, vanishing, and murdered Native women and children across all of North America...
~They report on the missing and murdered children and women of 'every other racial group' that makes up the American population, but they NEVER report the 'statistically' greater disappearances and murders being committed annually against our sisters, aunties, daughters, mothers, cousins, and children in this country.
~Canada has only recently acknowledged this ethnically disproportionate epidemic suffered by Natives and ignored for decades by police, media, and the government. But the U.S. Government and media still sweeps it under the rug and continues to save their tears for the misfortunes and injustice suffered by everyone else in the earth, yet not for Indigenous Native American Tribal people...but I digress. (Peace be with you all.)
