Toxic and racist.
“Mighty white of you”
Savages
Diggers
They eat termites and hornets as a delicacy- that’s a lie- they were starved.
Scalping- was done to Indians and sponsored by both California through the payment to militias for the dirtbags that couldn’t find gold and took up hunting people - Indians and by the Federal government that paid rewards for bringing in Indian scalps and heads funded by the lying Indian Protection bonds.
Some folks like telling their lies and hate when these truths are uncovered. They’ll claim we’re trying to rewrite history. Yet native Americans did not have a written history - it’s the whites who stood up against their demonic white neighbors and wrote about the atrocities that detail the acts that stole the land, inheritance, wealth, language, culture and identity of Indians. To ridicule them for trying to blend in by wearing clothes that don’t fit so they won’t be killed for looking WILD, is criminal.
Read Lands of Our Ancestors by Gary Robinson, Native American author, to your students if you want a realistic narrative of the occupation by foreign aliens in a gentler manner fourth graders can understand.
For your own education, Read American Genocide; the California Native American History book by Madley- professor from UCLA to understand how this book continues to tell lies about the past by romanticizing the killing of so called savages- tens of thousands of Native Californians by the hands of the true savages- greedy white invaders.
This book demonstrates exactly what Madley describes as the process of Genocide-
1. Dehumanization of a group of people
2. Demonization - they practiced cremation
3. Killing in the name of ….???
