    A few months back I was at a Native American museum, and one exhibit had this quote from a English settler’s journal from the 16th or 17th century that basically said “we raided a native village, stole their supplies, burned their buildings, killed some of them, all of which aren’t as bad as what they would do to us.” Just thought “shit hasn’t changed.”

      I read An Indigenous People’s History of the United States and holy shit, nothing has changed and history is a flat circle.

      Truly the 51st State.
