I’m Mvskoke (Muscogee creek) and US/Oklahoma unethically took our reservation from us back during allotment. The Supreme Court didn’t give it away, they just finally acknowledged that we are the rightful owners lol. My whole tribe was so happy to finally got our reservation back when we heard the news of the ruling. It was like the ONLY good thing to come out of 2020. You covered this really racially charged topic very respectfully, and I really appreciate that. The history background was appreciated as well, because honestly I’ve actually met people who didn’t even know that us natives still exist, they legit believe that the US had wiped us out. Education on indigenous history and indigenous peoples is pretty poor, it’s sad.

It really is sad, what's even more sad is that in some places where Indigenous people are doing well by running casinos and what not, not only do these people invest back into their local community but the surrounding communities expect then to invest, like they are owned it or something. The local tribe in my area provided roads, jobs and hell they even helps with the forest fire (Admittedly it was only because it was near their casino in the first place). The only thing they asked in return was that we educate them in our school that THEY funded, and what did my town/community have to show for it? Nothing, not I single damn thing. Even the school that they have invested millions in is not even that good. I have every respect to those indigenous tribes that are doing well, and I hold out hope those tribes that are neglected will one day finds happiness in there land again.

Fun Fact: Oklahoma is actually derived from two Choctaw words (One of the five tribes in Oklahoma). Okla means people or a community of people, and Homma means red. It is easy to assume that the state Oklahoma means Red People, but many within Choctaw Nation suggest that it is referring to alternate definitons of the words Okla and Homma meaning Honored Nation or Brave People, since Homma can also be interpreted as an honorable addition to a person's name.

Yes, mortality rate was higher than for the Bataan Death March. Consider also that where the Bataan March was of soldiers-combatants-the Trail of Death was families.

I favor Trail of Death: After all we don’t refer poetically to Nazi “Tear” camps to downplay Nazi guilt.

Doing all that was still a better use of my time rather than going onto Google and spending however long it would take to get to the same conclusion. Now, let’s talk about you and your decision to refer to Legal Eagle… as Daddy and interest in spoon feeding.

Just playing Devil's advocate here; but land has been stolen from and by nearly every nation that exists today (with exception to several islands, Iceland etc.) Native Americans stole land from other Native Americans; Africans from other Africans, Asians from other Asians. How far back in the past do we go back to establish who has the right to the land? And if they do have the right how do we proceed without causing unnecessary harm?

@@BiggsTheOwl The Kingdom of Hawaii was a US ally and had let the US Navy build a naval base on an island in Pearl Harbor. Then some non-native immigrants to Hawaii from the USA overthrew the Hawaiian government and established the Republic of Hawaii. The revolutionaries won by tricking the Queen into thinking that they were backed by US Marines which had disembarked during the fighting to guard US assets in the harbor. The US Congress issued a letter of condemnation, but didn't actually do anything to reverse the situation by force. The Republic of Hawaii then requested to join the USA to protect them from the British Empire who had also protested, and Congress refused for a few years because they were still pissed off. They eventually caved however, partly because congress critters have the memory of goldfish, partly because it was better than leaving the current set of assholes running Hawaii in charge, and partly because it had become apparent that if the USA didn't take the offer then one of the colonial empires was eventually going to waltz in and take over, which would cost the US a strategically important Naval base in the Pacific.
