How Native Americans were systematically stripped of their culture, and why it's invaluable that the youth reconnect.
American history is riddled with fanatical, foaming-at-the-mouth monsters and wretched child abductors, and they’re not all named John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer or Ted Bundy. No. Many have names like Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, and Richard H. Pratt.
And although modern day Americans are typically aware of names like Andrew Jackson and Abraham Lincoln, few are as familiar with Richard H. Pratt, America’s first serial child abductor. “A great general has said that the only good Indian is a dead one, and that high sanction of his destruction has been an enormous factor in promoting Indian massacres. In a sense, I agree with the sentiment, but only in this: that all the Indian there is in the race should be dead. Kill the Indian in him, and save the man,” Pratt spewed.
Fast-forward to 2019. Pratt is long dead now and so are Jackson and Lincoln, but the legacy of their hate and racism dragged into this century, like shit on the American shoe."The more things change the more they stay the same,” noted French philosopher Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr in the mid 1800s. It's a phrase that certainly rings true today especially for Native children caught within the system.
