2020

“The end of many millennia of extraordinary civilizations living, working and co-existing, honoring the Earth and each other.”

“The deer island trilogy and confiscation of our lands, forced into a political and social paradigm foreign to our concepts, becoming the subculture in our own lands reduced to poverty and second class citizenship..after we fed, sheltered and taught these people to live upon our lands!”

“To me the Mayflower means the beginning of the end. Sick, dying and with their children, pleading for a better life/religious freedom the pilgrims were of no threat to us. IF we wanted them gone we could have simply ignored them and they all would have died there would not have even been a need for violence to rid ourselves/land of them. You don't bring your women and children if you're there for trouble so I understand why my ancestors would have taught them to thrive and because of this community and family base lifestyle that helps us to thrive for thousands of years we would have had no reason to believe that they would not return the favor. Fast forward to present day the thought of this boat sickens me; the thought of my ancestors watching what's happening now makes me cry. There is a blatant entitlement and extreme prejudice against native people that I have experienced my entire life, I don't know how or what to say to help the people understand the feeling of literally drowning on my own land everyday in a sea of Mayflower descendants that's how I feel that's what that boat means to me.”

“Lets make our ancestors proud with truth and dignity. To live by example in character and not feed into the myth that we all have perished”
