Why is the number of activists who speak for Indigenous peoples dwindling? America’s foundations lie in genocide. And white Americans know it, much as they may deny it. White settlers massacres thousands. Diseases, carried by them into a pristine land, killed off a huge number. Now they’re cordoned off in wretched ‘reservations’ where alcoholism and disease finish the job of wiping out an entire continent’s Native people. I’m so sorry I ever thought America could be the promised land. It’s a delusion.
