RE: The Tragedy of Ishi, Contributed by @donkeypong

I have researched on the the extermination of native peoples all around the world. I can't tell you how this has changed my views on being a privileged white person living in a high tech world..(my stepfather is half Mohawk Indian and such a beautiful man).thinking we are so much further advanced and better off than those who have to live off the land and have no technology...I have grown in my understanding and I have forgiven myself for the ignorance I once had as a child . Growing up in a programmed world with so much biased info and propaganda (Canada)(with Natives living all around me) I have had to unlearn and RELEARN the truths of our history and its native peoples. Now I am learning to re integrate myself back into NATURE and find my true essence, my true humanity. I surround myself with Animals and nature everyday. It helps. I grow. Slow but sure. Thanks for sharing this article and inspiring others to grow in our understanding of the truths around us that can lead us home, back to our heart and mother nature....Namastaynpaint
