When immigrants began invading the territories of the Native Americans and establishing their "homesteads" they came up with a plan, they would allow Native Americans to live on Reservations.
Where did these immigrants build their homesteads and begin farming and ranching? Why on sacred Native American land of course. They destroyed 95% of any burial site that was considered SACRED by Native Americans.
Has any of that changed? Nah, the descendants of those immegrants along with newer immegrants have decided it was their right to destroy even more Native American Holy grounds, WTH are we doing allowing this to happen?
My heart goes out to ALL Native Americans who after 200 years STILL HAVE NOT RECIEVED JUSTICE for their native HOMES!!
Why do we allow big business to destroy the way they do simply for the $$?

@rebelann Not at all... Greed is just as prevalent in Ireland and the UK. Alas.
And the Prime Minister of England is firmly slamming a lot of doors shut at the moment... to what ends, nobody knows. And who's getting the blame, feeling the brunt? Those who are not of the UK - immigrants. Even though they were not classed as immigrants before, as they have EU passports, now they are 'foreigners'... Where is it all going, nobody knows...

It may have been true then @scarlet_woman but the face of humanity is clearly much browner these days.

Cheeze I hate that this country allows capitalism to destroy in the name of the holy $$ it's such a sad thing to read about all the species that have gone extinct because of it.
If only those natives who first saw Columbus had simply killed all those pirates but then I suppose invasion was inevitable, Europeans had overpopulated their continent and needed to ship out the surplus.

That's completely terrible. And it's so wrong as it's all for the $ - and they could care less as long as it's about how they will benefit. One of my college professors opened my/our eyes about those who "take" what is not theirs - and how that has happened over and over again in history - particularly in our own country. It's despicable.1 person likes this

So true @CoolPeace I wish a Native American Chief would run for president under a new party comprised by the Native American Tribes of the USA, I'll bet we'd see a whole lot less wildlife and habitat destruction and much less interference in the affairs of other nations, I never did get why we were in Vietnam much less why we're now in Syria.

Oh my this is horrible and they will get trouble. I remember a very scary movie from a real story. The story was about a Native American Burial site destroyed to build vacation homes non for Native Americans. Horrible things happened to those who came to live in that community. I have to find that movie, I am sure that I have it.
