1. continueed attacks on original inhabitants

Once again THE GOVT WE REPEATEDLY ELECT attacks Native Americans for exercising their rights. Throughout the history of this nation our aboriginal population has been walked over and utterly disregarded by our govt. By the hands of both parties our people are slaughtered , incarcerated, and walked on.

3. Welcome / What do I say ...

I was so absorbed in your post, I didn't even notice it was your first post until I finished reading it and moved on to 2nasalit's reply.

So, welcome!

But back to the original topic: It is unbelievable.

5. Beautiful! Needs Own Thread!

Hello, that is beautiful! I mean that in the literal sense about the sight, the scene and figuratively about the actions and all the heart and soul put into those actions. Wow.

I would love for this to be its own thread. How do you feel about posting this as the OP of a new thread? If you do, will you let me know either by replying here or by sending me du email/private message?

Also, if it doesn't get a lot of Recs, I hope you will post again at another time. Sometimes mes posts of great interrst don't get as many views or recs because of timing.

Have a wonderful day!
