Strong words TowodiGe, what happened to the Native Indians was so awful.
It still happens now in many cultures.

An angry piece which, I’m sure mirrors the experience and attitudes of many (or all) indigenous colonized by invading powers. Similar to the original inhabitants of Australia where I now live. A great read.
The only point in your work I have any reservations about is your promise to rise up and so on.
And this is not out of fear, or belief that there is a possibility that this might eventuate , but because I just realistically don’t believe it will – the forces and power ranged against such an outcome would be too great. Injustice and oppression will exist for a very long time – if, in fact the human race survives for that very long time. Having skimmed (time poor) through a lengthy Wikipedia article on the Seneca, you appear to be a sophisticated resilient people. You will find other ways…..
Just one final point: I find that picture of yours , the existence of the sign – WTF?
