After 600 years of oppression, non-Natives decide to honor us by mocking a culture they will never understand. After 600 years of oppression, they built us reservations and penned us in, yet they roam free. After 600 years of oppression, they wash out hundreds of tribes. After 600 years of oppression they made us speak english, and alot of us have lost our language. After 600 years of oppression, they pulled Christianity on us and ignored our spirituality. After 600 years of oppression, they stole our relatives away from their family and put them in boarding schools. After 600 years of oppression, they still take what little land we have. After 600 years of oppression, they promote us badly in pop-culture by romanticizing a culture they know nothing about. After 600 years of oppression, they still mock us.
