ALL I KNOW IS THIS THESE BASTARDS THAT KILLED ALL THESE INNOCENT NATIVES CHILDREN ARE CONTINUING BUSINESS AS USUAL, RAPING AND MOLESTING THE INNOCENT. THEY ARE INVOLVED IN FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND HAVE A GREAT MANY FOLLOWERS. THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS BEEN DESTROYING OUR COMMON PAGAN HERITAGE FOR THE LAST 2000 YEARS. IT IS TIME TO TAKE OUR CULTURES BACK AND REMEMBER EVERY THING OUR ANCESTORS HAVE THOUGHT US. WHEN WE DIG UP FROM THE RUINS OF ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS THE TRUTH, WE WILL SEE PEACE.

These are very painful words. I remember hearing my great grandmother telling of having soap put into her mouth from speaking in her native Cheyenne tongue. Creator's Blessings upon you, sister!
