There were some
bad persons in the past who murdered
needlessly many First Nations in America!! Some even did for the fun of it!! Some unfortunately still do!! Even to-day lip service or occupying such lands is a given in the USA, Canada, and Mexico!! Genocide too continues!! Have you seen recently December 30th on History channel the film:
Windtalkers? Windtalkers saved even US whole platoons at times or so!!
In that movie based on facts, the First Nation (
as Windtalkers) saved many American soldiers lives in the First, Second, and others wars and yet the US Army and Governments did not accept them with medals... later on only with certificates in the 80's and only lately Bush II with congretional recongnition!!
Shame on the USA!!
Shame on Canada... Since many had no army pensions or are now dead!!
There were many strangers (Europeans and others, plus American or Canadian borns too) who got along with First Nations... too!! Many First Nations did too get along very well with some foreigners and others!! French-Canadiens born, for instance, did very well with many First Nations... saving some; and, many First Nation saved them too!!
Some First Nations accepted gay men!! So, I feel that many such gay men were murdered because it was not an orient nor european way of life to accept gay men!!
I remember one man who was USA born, and who had been a soldier in the USA forces on a boat. After doing his years (his time) in the American forces, he and I wrote each other letters, and then he visited me often. And he became to live on the street. While I took him in for months, I was told later on by him that he had a right to his american soldier pension, which he applied for... but the US government gave him trouble for that since they asked for proof. He showed me his discharged paper from the US army (navy) which copy he had sent them. He bewildered as to why that was not proof! I wondered too! Now, he has deceased... he had been living on the street!! I wonder now if that was so questioned by the US governement because he was a
gay man?? !!Gash bashing takes many forms?? Let us all decent men fighting against such atrocities!! How?
Hugs!!
