This is so empowering to see proving that despite how hard the churches and Canadian government tried. They failed to “kill the Indian in the child” and that we will continue to flourish in our beautiful culture ✊✊✊ and we will never give up
I don’t like the comments, I am a catholic, I live in the most religious country. No matter what they believe, the Christians have always been not good. Yes there are good people I know but please know the history and what this people have been through. My country is “successfully” rid of our culture and everything, don’t go “don’t blame the ()” because they did, they did all of that and we should not ignore it.
I’m happy the natives still hold on, don’t ignore them, don’t blame it on others, don’t let them become my people who have been rid of our culture and that all what we had is taught as our past and history
Hell, many times we’re told that christianity was a gift in god’s way, and that we should be thankful for it
“All the Real Indians Died Off”: And 20 Other Myths About Native Americans (2016)
“In this enlightening book, scholars and activists Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz and Dina Gilio-Whitaker tackle a wide range of myths about Native American culture and history that have misinformed generations. Tracing how these ideas evolved, and drawing from history, the authors disrupt long-held and enduring myths such as:
- “Columbus Discovered America”
- “Thanksgiving Proves the Indians Welcomed Pilgrims”
- “Indians Were Savage and Warlike”
- “Europeans Brought Civilization to Backward Indians”
- “The United States Did Not Have a Policy of Genocide”
- “Sports Mascots Honor Native Americans”
- “Most Indians Are on Government Welfare”
- “Indian Casinos Make Them All Rich”
- “Indians Are Naturally Predisposed to Alcohol”
Each chapter deftly shows how these myths are rooted in the fears and prejudice of European settlers and in the larger political agendas of a settler state aimed at acquiring Indigenous land and tied to narratives of erasure and disappearance. Accessibly written and revelatory, “All the Real Indians Died Off” challenges readers to rethink what they have been taught about Native Americans and history.”

Possible Embassy Found In Major Mayan City
A recent study of the area in the Maya city of Tikal has found an unusual complex of buildings, which seems to be similar to the citadel of Teotihuacan. Tikal is in northern Guatemala, and Teotihuacan is central Mexico about 600 miles to the north.
Inside the complex in Tikal were found weapons in a Teotihuacan style, including ones made from green obsidian from central Mexico, incense burners, carvings of Teotihuacan’s rain god, and a burial in a pyramid with offerings similar to offerings in Teotihuacan burials. Ceramics within the pyramid have been dated to around 300 CE.
Interestingly, an elite Maya compound has been discovered in Teotihuacan, with its murals smashed and buried. Was this site the corresponding Tikal embassy to Teotihuacan, the partner of Teotihuacan’s embassy complex in Tikal? The two cities had a difficulty relationship: Teotihuacan invaded Tikal in 378 CE.
