Is that correct about the American Indians?

a lot of your words are based on my posts so it's true for Beowulf other than the spin you put on some of them

many different tribes many different languages and beliefs and none of this is exclusive to any of us

just like every other family ours have people of different views and beliefs in general and based on their own individual experiences even if ours were similar

Some of my own blood are much more (modern political) conservative than me. I was raised around many members much more conservative in words than I but I was also fortunate enough to been exposed to older beliefs and views as well (of my specific line)which I did and do find tremendously valuable to myself

Through my own experiences and journey and growth and individualism I got to where i am now and that's true of the rest. A lot of us are friends and family and we do feel connection often to one another but our individualism cannot be reduced and minimized to an all-encompassing conspiracy chart

I know few American Indians because I live in France.
But I've heard about you in movies and TV shows, and I know it's not always representative..

I also liked Twilight, maybe because there were American Indians in this saga.
So I know a bit about Native Americans.
I even met one, who came to school.

I have empathy for you, because I know you have suffered a lot of misfortunes.



On the other hand, I am a fairly religious person.
I am not a practitioner, but I believe in God.

I really believe in God.
Sometimes I stop believing in God for a little while, but that's not what I want to talk about.

I really believe in God.
One unique and powerful God.



I know that I am indirectly responsible for your misfortunes.
It is because of people like me, who believe in God, that sometimes there are massacres that are committed.
I am indirectly responsible, and I am sorry for you.



I have empathy for you, because I know you have suffered a lot of misfortunes.
Yet I will not stop believing in God because of you.




I believe in God because God brings intelligence.
God brings intelligence.
I really believe in these three words, and I hope I'm not mistaken.



Finally, I think you have a particular intelligence.
I think Native Americans have an intelligence of respect.

I think you have to be brave, and you have to share that intelligence a bit.
I also think you are a very smart person, and I admire you for that.

Nice to see a genuine exchange like this with Chev. I genuinely think he means well.

Very refreshing, Thank you. :)

Like I say in many of my posts I value life and try to respect it. We don't all communicate in the same ways or have the same abilities and the only way for me to get a real idea where he is coming from is to at least show him respect with sincerity

I used to struggle with communicating in a way that others could understand clearly and still often talk in ways that make more sense to me than those hearing or reading it

he wants to share his ideas and I think that's alright

Here are some pictures to show how important it is to have respect.

Why do native Americans get so little land and support from the government when all their land was confiscated from them?

Shouldn’t they get more?

Seems ironic that America stands and fights for freedom but native Americans get treated like crap



I believe they have a right of return to their ancestral lands and have every right to treat whites of European ancestry like Jews treat Palestinians.
