I met a friend online and when I told him I was native he was like “aren’t u guys rich” I was like where’s my money at then 😂

At my school (in the uk) we’ve been learning about the native Americans and I just wanted to say, that I feel so sorry for everything that their ancestors have gone through. Recently we just finished learning about the Wounded Knee Massacre and it actually sickens me to think what happend that day. How disgustingly the US army and settlers treated them. How they destroyed their buffalo, stole their sacred land and slaughtered their women children and elderly. I’m so sorry for what has happened,
And the irreversible damage that was caused.
