[dubletruble]

I too mourn for the Native American tribes who died on the Trail of Tears. The US government they were doing a favor but it was no favor but annihilation. Im ashamed sometimes being american because of our evil deeds to the Native Americans.

My people were treated so unfairly its awful

As long as greed is the fuel of the USA and lust for power drives the politics and economy then the lives of souls who died on the Trail of Tears, Wounded Knee and other horrible criminal events will have died in vain. People of any race who search the history and realize the truth, the hidden history, please! Do even just a little and pray that the mountain of greed and the endless acquisition of things is moved from us. There are good people in America Native and non Native. One posted this.

@MisterRobespierre A lot of black slaves fled to various indian tribes to escape the crueness of slavary. Many of those escaped slaves got absorbed into the tribes and married the tribal men and women and lived among them for the rest of their lives having children with them. At pow wows now you can see dancers with the mixed gentics of Africa and Native Americans just as we also see many mixed race white skinned people.

@MisterRobespierre There were many Cherokee's of mixed African/Cherokee decent and there still are. Of course we enrolled Cherokee's are aware of this. Also, who's to say the woman in the picture is Tsalagiyi to begin with...she may be a person of native/African decent from another nation for all we know.

Further, who cares?

[MisterRobespierre]

How come at 2:18 a Black woman in Indian clothing is shown? As a descendant of the Chiefs of the Deer Clan (warrior clan) of the Cherokee Nation, this really doesn't make sense.

[MisterRobespierre]

Hmm, I wonder when the Cherokee nation is going to allow descendants of real Cherokee, who survived the Trail of Tears, to join the tribe? Presently, you have to prove you have an ancestor listed on the Dawes or Guion Miller rolls, which were rolls taken of only the living Cherokee in Oklahoma in the early 1900's. Screw you fat asses who are in today's fake Cherokee Nation and sucking off the Government and voting for Democrats!

I have a special place in my heart for our Native American Indians and pray each of them will feel God's blessings in spite of how they have been treated.  Thank you for the posting, very well done. ~OneKewpie~

[MisterRobespierre]

The ONLY way to restore the Indian nation across America is for us to gather a leadership group together to testify before Congress that the Dawes; Baker and Guion rolls do not include ANY of these Cherokee that were removed to Indian Territory. The rolls were only a census of those living in IT in the early 1900's. Baker Roll was a census of living Cherokee in the Southeast. My great-great grandmother survived the trail, died in IT in 1847, but the Cherokee tribe will not allow me to join!!
