 | Paiute Native American shaman Wovoka and the Ghost Dance The Ghost Dance appeared during a time of desperation for the Native American Indian people. The Ghost Dance started when Paiute shaman Jack Wilson or Wovoka had a vision that if our people would dance and sing we Indians would live again. The Ghost Dance spread throughout the land. In Dec. 1890 the military panicked and massacred innocent Lakota Indian people at Wound Knee while they danced. It is one of the worse incidents in United States history. Judy Trejo - Summit Lake (Tommo Agi) and Walker River (Agi) Paiute and Anita Collins - Shoshone and Walker River Paiute speak about Wovoka. The Round Dance was a traditional Great Basin dance that spread across the land in the form of the Ghost Dance, and is now part of many celebrations. Robbie Robertson sings "Ghost Dance". |

 | The united states of Mass Killing ++ North America genocide America needs some serious reality check! admit your bitches before you accuse others. By conservative estimates, the population of the United states prior to European contact was greater than 12 million. Four centuries later, the count was reduced by 95% to 237 thousand. "In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue" . . . and made the first contact with the "Indians." For Native Americans, the world after 1492 would never be the same. This date marked the beginning of the lo More..ng road of persecution and genocide of Native Americans, our indigenous people. Genocide was an important cause of the decline for many tribes. In 1493, when Columbus returned to the Hispaniola, he quickly implemented policies of slavery and mass extermination of the Taino population of the Caribbean. Within three years, five million were dead. Las Casas, the primary historian of the Columbian era, writes of many accounts of the horrors that the Spanish colonists inflicted upon the indigenous population: hanging them en mass, hacking their children into pieces to be used as dog feed, and other horrid cruelties. The works of Las Casas are often omitted from popular American history books and courses because Columbus is considered a hero by many, even today. Mass killing did not cease, however, after Columbus departed. Expansion of the European colonies led to similar genocides. "Indian Removal" policy was put into action to clear the land for white settlers. Methods for the removal included slaughter of villages by the military and also biological warfare. High death rates resulted from forced marches to relocate the Indians. The Removal Act of 1830 set into motion a series of events which led to the "Trail of Tears" in 1838, a forced march of the Cherokees, resulting in the destruction of most of the Cherokee population." The concentration of American Indians in small geographic areas, and the scattering of them from their homelands, caused increased death, primarily because of associated military actions, disease, starvation, extremely harsh conditions during the moves, and the resulting destruction of ways of life.

 | Makah Native Americans, another broken treaty The Native American tribe the Makah nation of the Pacific Northwest, the state of Washington, in the United States of America, are whale hunters. They have been hunting whales for about 3,000 years. In the USA prior to the 1960's many Americans grew up watching cowboy and Indian movies, where the Indians always lost. Then in the mid to late 1960's the liberals told America this was wrong as well as the nation's long history of breaking treaties with Native Americans. Books like "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee," examined in detail the mistreatment of Native Americans by the government of the United States of America. Also movies like "Little Big Man," "Dances with Wolves," and "Last of the Mohicans" illustrated this poor treatment of Native Americans. In 1855 the Makah nation signed a treaty with the USA government signing around 90% of their land in exchange for continued permission to hunt whales. Later European and commercial whalers in the region depleted the whales in the region and ended the whale hunts by the Makah people. Recently the whale population has replenished itself, and the Makah want to whale hunt again. Well in the 1970's the liberals through their co-conspirators in the environmental movement had the worthless Congress ban whaling in the region. The Makah nation is another example of broken treaties by the United States government and further proof that liberalism is a mental disorder. |

 | "Southwestern United States" Here's a video using photos I've taken during trips around the Southwest. Mother Nature does some AMAZING "architecture"!!! One of the more incredible experiences I had, was in the "Valley of the Gods" near Monument Valley. Valley of the Gods is an almost UNKNOWN area of land, where you can camp in the desert, and be TOTALLY by yourself. It's also one of the VERY few places where you can experience total SILENCE. That's almost impossible to experience in today's world. So on my most recent trip there, there was a time period of 20 hours where I didn't hear a SOUND in the vastness of this deserted desert . . . not a bird, not a car, nor jet, or bug flying around. . . NUTHIN' . . . it's one of the most surreal experiences you can have in Mother Nature, where you can just sit and look out at the vastness of the desert mountains surrounding you, and have NO noise . . . your ears eventually get so "fine tuned" that they literally start hearing the blood flow around your ears. Anyway, I digress LOL, so yeah, the last two photos in this video were taken at that area of the desert at my campsite, nearing sunset. It's as if you're the only person in the world, having total freedom, peace and tranquility, as you watch the sun setting on these incredible natural "sculptures". The cliff dwellings in the photos were abandoned around 1250 A.D. as a drought forced the Native Americans to move to lands with better water access. The average life expectancy during those times was 35 years for males and only 25 years for females (due to the extra problems associated with childbirth complications). It's difficult to imagine a time where those were the average lifespans! We take for granted that we will probably live at least into our 70s. The song is "Bonny Swans" by Loreena McKennitt. She's a Canadian singer, of Irish/Scottish descent . . . there's somethin' about the "haunting antiquity" sound of Celtic music that just seems to go really well with photos of rugged high desert lands, and this song is an interesting blend of "rock" and "Celtic" sounds . . . |
 | Numaga Pow wow - Native American Indian teen traditional 1 Part 1, 2005 Numaga Pow wow Native American Indian teen male Northern Traditional style dancing. Numaga was the chief during the last major conflict between the whites and the Indian people in the United States. He led the Paiute people during the Pyramid Lake Indian war. Some white men had kidnapped two Indian girls and held them in a root cellar. When an Indian was going by he heard their cries and a group of Indians rescued them, but killed the men that held them. In response to the Indians killing the kidnappers the whites formed an army and attacked the Indians at Pyramid Lake in Nevada. The Paiutes BEAT the military, and later on they signed a peace treaty. Numaga was called the "Peace Chief" and we honor him with this pow wow. The Reno-Sparks Indian Colony holds this Pow wow and the Colony is made up of Paiute, Washoe, and Shoshone people of Nevada.
