Hi to all! I am new here, and don't ask me how I ended up on this site as I don't know! But hey, if you don't mind my putting in my wort here, I would just like to point out that we are all aware world wide of the attrocities and horrors which happend to Jewish people during the 2nd world war (and rightly so as such should never be forgotten but learned from) but we never hear much about the attrocities and horrors which happend to the Native Peoples of America! Whole Nations of people were whiped out, Bands of Nations became extinct because of this mass murder! I see people protesting all the time world wide to save the whale (and I'm with them all the way!!) but who in the world stands up in protest for the ongoing brutalities that's still happening to Native Peoples? I'm not very eloquent with words, but I hope you understand what I'm saying, and I would also like to add that not all white people are enemies of Native Peoples and shouldn't be frozen out or ignored!
Thanx for listening to me!
