It took some research because the history of which 1st-Nations tribes originally inhabited my land was so thoroughly destroyed by christians that I could only pin it down to two tribes who have existing ties today. First beneficiary is a 1st-Nations friend, but he claims he doesn't want the land (he has plenty of his own). If that is still the case at the time then the land goes to the two tribes. To undo just a miniscule portion of the damage that christian-infected Europeans caused to the people and this land. Some of you likewise need to put up or shut up with your empty words.

That is the one. The first where the body is mounted in the frame rather than on top of the frame, doing away with a need for running boards. -- Regards, Savageduck

I have a dislike for those who rewrite history for political ends, even though I know it has been done for centuries. I guess there is no underestimating the sense of purpose of those who would have the masses wallow in ignorance. Maybe you are right, let Disney handle history education. It just feels as though we are regressing, Neo-McCarthyism, another Scopes Trial, what next? -- Regards, Savageduck |
