Considering everything Trump is doing to kill our park service I doubt they will do much in this area.

The best way to recover from past mistakes is to pretend like they never happened. No learning. No growth. No correction. Just ignorance… the maga way.

Solid use of taxpayer money. No frivolity or wasted hours detected. Who is actually doing the research? Oh, probably a company Trump gave a no bid contract to. Nothing the anti-DEI mob can’t handle.

Mount Rushmore was never Six Grandfathers. It was never a site sacred to the Lakota. The 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie is fake news.

This is how the Park Service describes Little Big Horn: “This land is a place to honor and reflect on the sacrifices made here on June 25 and 26, 1876, when Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho warriors fought against a deliberate attack by the U.S. Army’s 7th Cavalry, led by Lt. Col. George Custer, who sought to enforce policies that threatened their traditional way of life.” Can’t wait to see how they re-write this one. A heroic Custer bravely fighting against an overwhelming force of bloodthirsty savages intent on resisting embracing the American way of life, something like that only fluffier so the orange baboon approves?

Hello!
can someone explain „negative history“ to me?
I leaned about negative numbers in math class. (also when I check my bank balance after I fill out my tax return)
I learned about negative biology when they told us about circumcision in health class (my testicles and penis instantly inverted, — indeed: made a loud „popping“ sound — decades later I’m still in therapy for that).
But negative history? That’s new to me.

I was at Yellowstone and there was a placard that talked about how several native nations regarded the area and used it as a conclave. It was really beautiful so I thought “gee I’d like to look more into this.”
Went to the internet machine and learned when settlers came they created the narrative that native nations were afraid of the area and thought the “devil” was there because of the geysers just to make it more palatable to the public when we took it from them.
There’s a lot of beauty in this nation and a history that predates colonialism that I would really love to continue learning about.

The answer to the question you’re asking is #1.
Political scientist Dr. Lawrence Britt wrote about fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia), and Pinochet (Chile), Dr. Britt found they all had 14 elements in common. He calls these the identifying characteristics of fascism.
TREES are the 14 characteristics of fascism.
Once you see the TREES, you can THEN see the FOREST.
The FOREST is fascism.
1: Powerful and Continuing Nationalism
Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
2: Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights
Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of „need.“ The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
3: Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause
The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
4: Supremacy of the Military
Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
5: Rampant Sexism
The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national policy.
6: Controlled Mass Media
Sometimes, the media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
7: Obsession with National Security
Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
8: Religion and Government are Intertwined.
Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology are common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government’s policies or actions.
9: Corporate Power is Protected
The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
10: Labor Power is Suppressed
Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely or are severely suppressed.
11: Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts
Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the arts.
12: Obsession with Crime and Punishment
Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
13: Rampant Cronyism and Corruption
Fascist regimes are almost always governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
14: Fraudulent Elections
Sometimes, elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times, elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
