All of history is one people taking over another peoples land. I’m not saying its right, but in virtually any part of the world there is a history of some invader or colonizer coming in and displacing or swallowing up the existing people, probably multiple times, down through prehistory as well.
These immigration raids and terror tactics are terrible on their own, but it’s especially absurd when Native Americans get caught up in it, and it just fully exposes how disingenuous and transparently racist the whole effort is. So I’m sorry that your peoples have to suffer even more because of this racist mindset.
”If you can’t say, ‘we’ve been here for time immemorial,’ then you’re an immigrant. You’re not from here, so who are you to classify our Indigenous people? These lands have been a melting pot for many ethnicities,” Hatathlie [a Native Arizona state Senator] said.
I heard another more recent example of a car full of Native Americans being pulled over, aggressively questioned, and asked for their papers, but I can’t seem to find it. It’s utterly shameful how we treat people.
The terror inflicted upon Native American peoples has been complete, it seems. AIM is a good example of what happens when you step out of line with the controlled opposition.
As a Native American this attitude would be a lot more understandable and palatable if America wasn’t colonized…
I totally understand your sentiment. Undoubtedly the USA is built on stolen land, much like Israel.
and there are no illegals on stolen land.

From a January article:

Can the native Americans just kill the leader of the colonizing force?
