In observance of Independence Day

Independence Day is the national holiday of the United States of America. It commemorates the signing of the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The U.S.A celebrates 228 years of being America, the greatest nation of all time; a nation that is built on murder, corruption, slavery, racism, treason, torture, bribery, extortion and so on.

Today I quote the real "Americans" the true and forgotten people of this beautiful land. A land that was once known for its beautiful forest, its clean crisp lakes and vast grass lands, now look at it, it's turned into a waste dump. American Indians respected and loved this land, they maintained a natural order. Then the white man came along and the almost wiped out all of the buffalo's for fun etc ... no more of this sad stuff ... i hope you guys enjoy reading some of these quotes from some indian chiefs


Enchanted horse (his name was mis-translated to crazy horse by the white man), Oglala Sioux Chief

"We did not ask you white men to come here. The Great Spirit gave us this country as a home. You had yours. We did not interfere with you. The Great Spirit gave us plenty of land to live on, and buffalo, deer, antelope and other game. But you have come here; you are taking my land from me; you are killing off our game, so it is hard for us to live. Now, you tell us to work for a living, but the Great Spirit did not make us to work, but to live by hunting. You white men can work if you want to. We do not interfere with you, and again you say, why do you not become civilized? We do not want your civilization! We would live as our fathers did, and their fathers before them." Crazy Horse was forced to surrender in the spring of 1877. He was arrested in September of the same year and mortally wounded by a Sioux guard at Fort Robinson, Nebraska.



Ten Bears, Yamparika Comanche Chief

At the Medicine Lodge Creek Council at Kansas in October 1867: "I was born upon the prairie where the wind blew free and there was nothing to break the light of the sun. I was born where there were no enclosures and where everything drew a free breath. I want to die there and not within walls."


Tecumseh (Shooting Star), Shawnee Chief

"Where today is the Pequot? Where are the Narragansetts, the Mohawks, the Pokanoket, and many other once powerful tribes of our people? They have vanished before the avarice and the oppression of the white man, as snow before the summer sun."


Joseph (Thunder Rolling in the Mountains), Nez Perce Chief

Upon surrender, October 1877: "I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed. Looking Glass is dead. Toohulhulzote is dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say yes or no. He who led the young men [Joseph's brother, Ollokot] is dead. It is cold and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them have run away to the hills and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are - perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children and see how many I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me my chiefs. I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever." After the surrender, Chief Joseph and his people were sent to Indian Territory where five of his children and many of his tribe died of disease.
