From the moment Europeans set foot on the shores of North America, they’ve been a threat to the Indigenous Peoples that inhabited the shores of what was has become the United States of America. Everything was stripped away from the Indigenous Peoples, not just their land. They had their culture, belief systems, rituals, and traditions replaced by myths and written over by history. These fallacies have been perpetuated by European’s who’ve changed the narrative to suit their own agenda…an agenda they’ve had in mind from the beginnings of this nation and continue to perpetuate on many levels.Â
