Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: December 29, 1890

TwoArticleHat Retweeted

Today marks 129 years since the US military shot dead up to 300 Native Americans from the Lakota tribe during the Wounded Knee massacre.

To this day, Native Americans are calling for the revocation of medals awarded to soldiers involved in the massacre for the "bravery".

Read it many years ago, and it has stuck with me. "Peace on Earth. Goodwill to Men".

It is stunning how clueless Twitlers core is. Hey Trumpsters.....we are not the original Inhabitants, we forcibly took it from the people originally populating this land......breaking treaty after treaty we signed.

But then so many of them are as dumb as a box of rocks.....including the Abomination in the White House.

One of the most horrific books I ever read...Massacre at "Sand Creek" still sticks in my mind.

warning: horrific read about what American soldiers did to Native Americans:
