AN OPEN APOLOGY TO THE FIRST NATIONS

WELCOME TO ONE HUMAN FAMILY
My intent with this blog is to open a forum where, from one human being to another, we can pour out our tears regarding the horrendous, inconceivable acts of unnecessary violence and inhumanity carried out by some Europeans against the innocent FIRST NATION, the MILLIONS of peoples living on the American continent when the English "discovered" this "new" land. It wasn't "new" to the peoples who occupied it, but it's a nice way to put it in the history books so that the white offspring of generations to follow have NO REAL IDEA of what went on in this country. I'm white and until I watched 500 Nations and digested what really happened to our darker skinned brothers and sisters, I just didn't really understand why I would get the cold shoulder by some American Indians. NOW I UNDERSTAND! Like the Tibetans in China, it is very very hard to swallow that your country was stolen by some stronger peoples, and that now you are living on the very fringes of society, barely surviving. Every day you visualize how life used to be, how it still should be, your customs, your beautiful streams and mountains, the ancient traditions of generations before you. GONE. LOST. DEAD. And now alcohol is killing what's left of it. And your one river is drying up. And you don't know how much more land will be taken from your children. It makes me seriously sick to my stomach to realize what our ancestors did, how they used and abused and lied and cheated and deflowered and murdered using their CHRISTIAN GOD as their excuse. They killed just to kill at times, just to kill...in the name of God...just kill the "heathens"! If I didn't know sweet, wonderful, sincere, loving Christian people I would HATE CHRISTIANITY! There is NO DAMN EXCUSE for what they did when they had other options, which was most of the time. It was just easier to erase them. These sort of white men make me want to erase them from the face of this world. They are the ones who should have gone down. There were other ways to settle here. We didn't have to wipe out so many tribes, so many innocent women and children. We didn't need to kill other human beings. We didn't have to have the best land for ourselves. We didn't have to take ALL the land, kill ALL the buffalo, take their children away from them to make them into little Christian Europeans. I cannot believe this took place only 100 years ago. I'm sickened and appalled. I am compelled to stay up all night to set up this blog, to apologize a hundred million times, which can never be enough. Please help me heal this wound in the hearts of the FIRST NATION. Please apologize here and now. We owe them at least that much!

JOIN THE APOLOGY. USA FINALLY APOLOGIZES - NOW AMERICANS APOLOGIZE TOO!

European descendants, which are mostly white peoples, please put your regret down within this formal open apology blog. From one white human being to another, please join me in this effort to apologize to the peoples who lived on this continent long before our European ancestors took their land and killed off millions of their peoples, and wronged their children.

WATCH 500 NATIONS!
Directed by Kevin Cosner

From the author of this blog, White Morningstar. Let my hand be the first.

Here is my first apology to all 500 First Nation Tribes of these Americas:
With a completely European heritage, I am so terribly ashamed and haunted by what white CHRISTIAN Europeans did to other human beings in the name of their God, which obviously was just an excuse to steal other peoples lovely landscapes. Selfishness, greed, inhumanity, depreciation, defilement, and murder can never be justified against another human beings race, culture, sex, age, or religion. Look the world history over and find out that more murdering and atrocities have been done in the name of religion than all the world wars put together!!!!!!!!!! Sadly and terribly, we have NOT LEARNED. China did the same exact thing to Tibetans in 1959, only about 50 years after the American Indians were jailed for 23 years for "being an Indian" and wanting their own land and freedom. As someone on the bandwagon for a FREE TIBET, thinking what inhumane barbarians the Chinese are, I have just come to realize that WE, the white people, our ancestors, are the worst barbarians ever. The blood and bones of the first nations, the American Indians that fertilizes "our" gardens and supports the foundations of "our" American" homes, dooms us. We often say how lucky we are, how lucky we are that Columbus "discovered" America, how blessed to have this and that, to be prosperous, to have not had wars come on "our" land. How can anyone ENJOY these fruits of our labors, when millions of other human beings were brutally murdered, deprived of their land, not allowed to use their own languages, beat into becoming Christians! The diabolical acts of our forefathers cannot just be written out of history and ignored. We cannot pretend that it wasn't US, it wasn't our choice, it wasn't our fault. We are living on land that does not belong to us. We have taken every good parcel away and left the dry lands to the few First Nation Indians who managed to survive the holocaust of their nation. We continue to dam up the rivers that flow through their meager lands for white man's desires. Why is it that white man should always get the best of everything, why is it the white descendants of murderers should still be allowed to take more and more away from the people we have impoverished in their own lands? As for me, I say it is time for all people of every color to stand up for the right, to understand that human beings are ALL equal, that the color of skins has no bearing on the quality or intelligence or value of a human being. CLOSE YOUR EYES and realize, we are all one human family FIRST, before our skin color, before our culture, before our occupations, before our choice of religion, before anything else, WE ARE ONE HUMAN FAMILY FIRST. As for me, I want to apologize from a broken hearted place deep within me, to all the FIRST NATIONS IN THIS LAND.

If you're an American Indian, please accept this effort from the ancestors of European settlers who did you so damn wrong. If only we could turn back time, if only I could snap my fingers and bring back all your innocent and honored ancestors, if only I could put into reverse the horrendous acts against you, if only I could give you the most precious land in this nation. If only... To me, you are a glorious and magnificent people with a rich heritage and charming traditions. Your cultures are fantastic examples of living in harmony with nature, with animals. Your soul radiates up from the earth of this nation and I treasure this great spirit that still radiates in the faces of your peoples. I am white, but I love your race like a mother loves her own child. I wish I could do something to truly change things and make life good for your again. One person can do so little, but it is my hope that by starting this blog, one day your nation will see that there are thousands if not millions of white people who sorely regret the past acts of bad people against your nation. It is not one. It is not just me. Many people I know adore American Indians, their culture and religion. I know in time, they will find this blog and write their own apologies so that one day this bad blood between us will be healed.

Please past this along to others. Thank you.
