"WE SHALL REMAIN"
« on: March 31, 2009, 12:19:50 am »
Starting on April 13 and running for 5 consecutive weeks, PBS will air this special about Native Americans, their history post Columbus and their culture...the Native view point!
   I just watch a 30 minute preview and it looks promising. Lots of Native input with the appropriate Native languages highlighted.  Early white intervention, The Trail Of Tears, The Modern Wounded Knee and other interesting information about our Native American People.
   The title page has a majestic tepee on the plains with Old Glory attached to one of it's poles, standing straight out in the wind.

Thank You Pat.......and hopefully it will be half as good as it seems like it is going to be.....finally a Story told by the People who paid for it with their Lives and way of life.......I have it all bookmarked on my Tivo to be recorded....I think everyone needs to watch this and learn of the Deeds that were done to the Native Cultures .....and hopefully it wont be all whitewashed...and will show how the Whites were the first to try Ethnic Cleansing here in the Americas hundreds of years ago

I'm looking forward to viewing the program, although it will have to be when I return to the states from being overseas toward the end of the month. 

I've been considering the topic of "fairness" toward the native tribes, on a first-hand basis, lately.  I have to say that I do not have a "made-up" mind.  It is certain that the policy of the early American government toward tribal culture was, and arguably is, utterly wrong. 

Respectfully, I disagree with such a generic labeling of the use of "whites".  It isn't the word which troubles me but the context in which it is used.  I'll argue, respectfully, that "whites" were not the first to try ethnic cleansing here in "the Americas hundreds of years ago".  I'll wager that if we look at the course of human migration we could find examples that date back considerably further than the European flux into America. 

Perhaps the root issue is how the affect of industrialization or even greed has harmed human 'tribal' culture?  But, hey, let's not argue against capitalism.

Isn't the individual person more important than the 'tribe'?  I thought that was the very root of capitalism...

I watched this show and in my "white" eyes, I thought it was very well done. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.
  The tepee on the cover page with Old Glory flying in the breeze gives me chills! 8)

My head nodded throughout the show.  ;D  It was another good episode. So far it has been very interesting hearing the other side of the story. Next week...WOUNDED KNEE.  Past and present day.
