As the 21st century progresses, a day will come when white Anglo-Saxon’s will be the minority. Memories of crimes against peoples never really die, but live on in the sub-conscious. Chinese memories of Japanese invasion and occupation are still smoldering. The white race has a long history of , to put it mildly, bad treatment of other races. I should not be here when that time arrives. (whew!)
This is amazing on two fronts. The obvious front is the blatant discrimination, the second front is less obvious. The Federal Government has historically taken back any land of any value that was inadvertently given to the Native Americans and “traded” the good land for something deemed worthless. I’m thinking of the Black Hills before and after gold was discovered. Thus, I am surprised that the Native Americans have treaty land in RC, let alone land that has sufficient value as to house a hotel.
If the Native Americans and our treaties with them are not upheld by the courts, que Sonny and Cher, “and the beat goes on, and the beat goes on………”
Rappahannock Tribe reacquires ancestral Virginia land, 350 years later.
The Rappahannock Tribe in Virginia has taken ownership of more than 460 acres of ancestral homeland along the river that bears its name, thanks to a groundbreaking partnership with donors, environmentalists and government agencies.
The acquisition, announced Friday by the tribe and Interior Secretary Deb Haaland, returns a section of Rappahannock River frontage known as Fones Cliffs to the tribe, which was driven away by English settlers more than 350 years ago and pushed almost to extinction by white supremacists during the 20th century.

That’s a low blow…..surely there are civil rights laws to prevent this.

Incredible. No, wait — credible (if illegal) in today’s America.

My ancestors were Native American and Scotch. Am I bad or good or half of each?

South Dakota is a state dominated by Republicans, a fact that is I am sure totally unrelated to this ugliness.
