Amerikanische Indianer und Inuit in Amerika nach Regionen

r/phantomborders you can see the difference between the original US and the territory acquired later

I can definitely believe it for Guatemala. I remember going to this town up in the mountains and nearly every person was of Mayan descent. They were incredibly short people, I don’t think one was above 5 feet tall. They also don’t speak Spanish very well and there was a lot of hand gesture bartering.

Native American genocide is something truly shocking when you think about it.

Disease, forced deportations, and the mass killing of women and children it’s hard to fully grasp the scale of what happened.

In some ways, Native American reservations can be compared to places of confinement: limited resources, poverty, and restricted opportunities. When they tried to leave, resist, or even seek peace, violence often followed.
It’s a tragic loss not only of countless lives, but of rich and complex cultures for the sake of building what is now the United States lmao

There was a time when many Native American societies lived in close relationship with nature.

Today, the level of consumption in the United States is extremely high. If everyone in the world lived like the average American, we would need about five Earths to sustain that lifestyle.

What a god damn shame

Worse part is that we send Christian there, people who live and believe in “ love you neighbor“ yeah if he is white straight rich and agreed with everything you said

Thanks to the great Standing Bear suing the feds in Nebraska, the indigenous people were granted human rights.

The whole standing bear story is just like ICE today.

So when you ask when did it change here, I reply it’s always been this way.

Fun fact:
The top 10 most spoken indigenous American languages are all spoken in Spanish speaking countries. The highest percentages of indigenous American ancestry are all found in latinamerican countries as well.
