(Was It Necessary For Mother Earth To Lose Them, One-by-One?)
Snow Owl-August 2004

 

This listing is from 1880, so you must make allowances for some of the spellings of the Tribal names.  The thing is, to read this over while keeping in mind that I doubt if more than a few have heard of many of them, much less had any idea of the scope of what has “disappeared” over the years. 

I could, I suppose, place blame all over the place, but of what use is that? None. For this “nation” is not alone in what our various ancestors did.  I doubt very seriously there is a nation or country, etc., that ever existed that does not have to some degree or another, their own share of guilt stemming from eradication of another people and it goes on to this very day. 

I cannot do it, for it is simply too sad to bear; especially in light of the fact that the majority of people see or read something akin to this, then give lip service to its tragedy, shake their heads and walk away – doing absolutely nothing to work toward the common goal of never letting such a crime against Creation ever happen again.

Instead, “we the people”, allow our leaders in our respective countries do whatever they want and only get outraged after the fact.  And of what use is that?

We gripe and moan, scream in outraged anger at the threatened existence of a fly, yet we do absolutely nothing substantial to preserve the original peoples of this Land or uplift those that remain, that we (all of us!) now call ours.  Now THAT’S tragic. – Snow Owl

(I am not going to place any pictures in this section.  I feel that any pictures would take away from the stark reality that this listing provides in showing us what mankind has done, is doing, and apparently – wishes to continue to do the world over. – Snow Owl)
