Careful. Remember, trump and his cronies do not care about you. Not one bit. You need to use your understanding of them to manipulate them. What ever happens it needs to be good for them or they wonβt go for it.

Hy did you kick out all the ne-gro southern Indians out of the 5 European immigrant colonizers tribes, you was never called ne-gro Indian people not one day, u where never in the southern ne-gro Indians wars, u was never om the trail of tears with my grandparents, cynthiechieftestPowaton1962. Why do u claim to be the negro southern Indian Cooper tone and darker Indian people?.

Some really great news. I'd still rather be able to hear the speakers in their own language and have english captions rather than the speakers in english drowning out their own language

Personally -i can't see how Trump can ever have our Native Peoples best interest in mind. Kirkland, hopefully you think about the 7 Generations ahead of us and their needs too and ask for guidance from 7 Generations back. 'Cause trump and musk can't see past their own needs and their own wants. They care nothing for The People. IMO. I'm scared for Head Start kids and Indian Health Services, food programs, youth programs, elder groups, programs that help with heating and wood for wood-stoves πͺΆπͺΆπͺΆπππ

My great grandfather attended a treaty signing in the MORONGO NATIVE RESERVATION IN 1905.
IT WAS NEVER RATIFIED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT.
it like many other negotiations with the California Native people were LOST/ IN THE DESKS OF UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. GEE IS THIS HOW GOVERNMENT WORKS.
EVEN THE CURRENT MORONGO TRIBE FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE TREATY ATTEMPT TO DISTINGUISH THE NATIVE PEOPLE PRESENT WERE NOT PART OF THE ORGINAL CALIFORNIA NATIVE PEOPLE.
AT THAT TIME, THE TREATY WAS SIGNED BY ALL NATIVE PEOPLE OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
CONTINUING RESEARCH.
