No other continent had anything like that happen to it.
People are slow to admit the crimes of their ancestors
Where most of its native population was decimated.
Not Africa, not Asia, nor even Australia.
There's that one quote from the Peacemaker
A Iroquois shaman I think
''One arrow can be easily broken. But when five arrows are be bound together, they become strong. As the five arrows are strongly bound together with our ways and customs and this shall symbolize that the five nations are united; we are of One Mind.''
Fun fact
Their constitution-thingy
Was later taken by the US constituion
Ahahaha I heard of this, but wasn’t sure how true it was.
I think their constitution was developed without European interference.
As originally it was based on oath kepts.
That is, it was an oral constitution.
I thought when I saw this quote it was some fascist quote
But no.
I wonder if the fascists took some inspiration from the Iroquois
Even if they were kind of democratic, the tribal confederacy not the fascists.
You know I once met a Nazi Mixtec, Oaxcaca Native. Apparently a person who is BF of my Native-advocating friend converted him somehow.
Nazi Mixtec???
Weirdly he learns Nahuatl and not the Mixtec language, it surprised her.
Didn't Hitler have alot of respect for the natives or smth?
Yes.
While Goebbels hated the US.
Seeing it as a mongrel nation.
I think he wrote so in one of his diaries or articles.
Hitler in Zweites Buch considered the US and not the USSR as their number one enemy.
Goebbels was a pagan larper though
Sorry I have to go for a bit, brb.
Wonder if he had respects for the natives aswell
Cya
''American pro-Nazi movements, such as the Friends of the New Germany and the German-American Bund, played no role in Hitler’s plans for the country and received no financial or verbal support from Germany after 1935. However, certain Native American advocate groups, such as the fascist-leaning American Indian Federation, were to be used to undermine the Roosevelt administration from within using propaganda. In addition, the Nazis considered the Sioux, and by extension all Native Americans, to be Aryans; a theory echoed in the sympathetic portrayal of the Natives in German westerns of the 1930s such as Der Kaiser von Kalifornien.''
''Nazi propagandists went as far as declaring that Germany would return expropriated land to the Indians, while Goebbels guessed they possessed little loyalty to America and would rather rebel than to fight against Germany.''
Holy shit freaking based.
Thank you for finding this.
Want the website for the full article?
I will be able to troll Mutt “ Nazis” with this now.
Sure!
You know that kinda reminds me how communists tried to use the black population to incite racial riots and be welcomed as liberators there.
