We should not look past the atrocities that have been placed upon the indigenous people of this planet, we should shed light to all races, and cultures and how the dominant cultures have had a direct or indirect effect on the indigenous peoples culture and ability to know more about their heritage and roots.
Why is this important?
Most people know February as Black history month, to shed light on the atrocities that the slaves were put through, however, most people are not even aware that the last Native American Assimilation School did not close down until the 1990's. Due to the assimilation schools, thousands of Native Americans lost their culture and language, and some moved off the reservations to protect their children from the abuses that were taking place in those schools--many people and children are unaware that they are Native American and do not have the oppertunity to learn about their culture; For Native American History month, people of all ages should be give the oppertunity to learn about any indigenous heritage and their relationship with the dominant culture whether it be the first nation tribes of America, to the indigenous people in China and Peru. Please sign this potition to give back the voice of the Earth's Indigenous people.
