Don't Get Sick After June: American Indian Healthcare
Declared wards of the state, Native Americans were promised housing, education and health care in exchange for lands ceded to the US Government. Like so many other promises, these too have not been met. The budget shortfall to the Indian Health Service continues to be about 45%. Add to this the generational trauma of subjugation, reservations, boarding schools and alienation, their health and health care is in a critical state.

    I am ashamed of the colonialism. No good has come of it. Thank you to this wonderful human for sharing his story-speaking out and facing the truth is not only how we can prevent these things from happening again, but also giving strength to others who had or go through this to also speak out… at the very least: hope. I often think of what it would have been like if the colonizers had assimilated or at the very least not gained so much power. #landback ✊🏻

    ❤ from Karnataka, India to Native Americans. Follow Philosophy of Buddhism. Buddhism can save Indigenous cultures, languages, traditions like South East Asian countries.

      I think the point is that their culture and religion was stolen from them to make way for a new one. Following Buddhism isnt going to fix that.

    Seeing this for the 1st time in 2024 breaks my heart seeing & hearing this. The trauma in their sharing their story I can see it flashing before him. I’m so sorry this happened to you & your ppl. May they slowly heal from all that trauma they were put thru and all that they were deprived from & may all /any negative ppl/things that blocked you from being your true self.Love and light to them truly. Any 2 know if there is an update?

    I respect you brother! Being a slave on its own country. The U.S. gave small territory lines for the First Nation in total isolation for centuries, is a prison, which the U.S. call reservations? they are concentration camps, with rules against the First Nation.

    So heart-breaking. I feel the agony this person has suffered and continues to suffer. Even after so many years have gone by, his emotions are still raw. 💔 How cruel were the Americans and Christians. Even today, the oppressors are oppressors.

    My parents built their own home in Mill Valley CA. They both worked. We had a garden for food, they made their own wine. Taught me from age 2 how to be self sufficient.

    Over the past 20 years here in Sunrise Country Club and across the street, I have been raped, beaten, robbed, and put in handcuffs and dragged down a driveway. I live next door to Bobby (3 La Ronda) and he is a CRIMINAL! He is on Megan’s Law since 1977. He is still a current criminal, the photo of him is recent and he is in violation. Ester his mother is a criminal and she like a man named Frank Segoviano who stole all my belongings, my food and raped me by coming in my bedroom at night and touching my breasts! The Sheriffs have been abusive. They dragged me out of my garage and put me in handcuffs when all they needed to do was ask to see my identification.

    This was heartbreaking. Makes me very angry, and I'd like to hit those that hit him and the other children. It's wrong to do that and they mustn't be really alive inside to do have done that. I do feel emotion first than think sometimes but still, it's very wrong. I've a lot of care for this gentleman. He's a true warrior in my eyes

    Today China is doing same thing jn Tibet kids from 4 to 8 are taken away to residenziale "schools" where there are not a single tibetan teacher. We r in 2023 and West and world are bowling to China. Tibetan culture is systematically being destroyed. So sorry for native people for the sufferings they were forced to.

    What happened and what continues to happen to the native people of this country is an absolute travesty. If anything, the native people's of this country knew how to live in harmony with the planet, and maybe if that were to be our main driving force in this country, and not the constant exploitation of resources and people for personal gain, we wouldn't be staring the reality of depleting our resources and killing our planet in the face.

    We know who provoked many traumas and addictions to tribes, I don’t care if you hate my comment. This is sad because not all kids learn in the same way 🥹 they enjoyed to traumatize kids than learn their language.

    Would it be crazy to ask for the US to make classes for Native American children and teenagers to learn their tribe’s language, history, and culture alongside reading, math, science, US and World history, and other courses?
