Let us not forget, today is #ColumbusDay We focus a lot of the white man conquering the natives in the Americas as if that was the first time the land was conquered. Truth be told, the Americas were being conquered over and over again by various tribes and factions for thousands of years, well before the white man ever set foot on this great land. It is astonishing that we dismiss the brutality the Natives endured and created during their rule. Constant tribal warfare, human sacrifices to the various gods they worshipped, raping and pillaging of neighboring tribes. It was an extremely rough place to live. Natives did not have it easy, nor did they make it easy on themselves. Everything we have today can be traced back in large part to Columbus setting foot here. It started a movement that created a government that recognized the most God given rights by any government, monarchy, or dictatorship before it. Yes there was war, there was slavery, there were atrocities that took place. We need to put that in the context of everything happening in the world at that time. Which was much of the same. I love my Native ancestry, and I love my White ancestry. I’m a rare breed, born of both that came together, and created a half Native, half White, Patriotic American. I’m blessed and grateful to be born in America, during this time. We have a lot of problems in this Country, but we must remember to be grateful for what we have, and who died for what we have today. Whether your ancestors were slaves, slave owners, or of another class, we all played a part. Do not let the entitled, hate filled, and ungrateful folks of today tear down everything that made this Country great. Stay humble, stay grateful, and count your blessing. God Bless you all & God Bless America
