I am not an indigenous person. My people came from Sweden by way of Canada. I am an American and I love my country, but I can't say I'm proud of how the Europeans came and declared this land theirs. Let me ask you this. If you were comfy in your recliner watching tv in your house that you have cared for and love, and suddenly someone came through your door, looked around, and said "Yes, I love it here!!", this is our house now and you people are going to have to move somewhere else. We will even give you a little shed to live in! How would you feel about that? I would want to fight to keep my house. I know you can't stop progress, I just wish it didn't have to be cruel.
