Even though 3Chics Politico is written and curated by three women: Ametia, Rikyrah, and SouthernGirl2, I must nominate this as one of the most engaging blogs I've found. Devoted to politics and culture, these three shine a light on contemporary life with humor and spirit.

America has a horrible history of hate & violence. We must tell the truth and never allow it to happen again. No white washing the truth here. 3 ChicsPolitico is going to bring it to you straight. This Chic is doing it for my great granny.
Heinous!
I just can’t comprehend killing off a people’s main food source and starving them. It’s beyond cruel.

Good find.
Thank for this. I’ll tweet it.

Beautiful. I can’t stop looking at these photos and wondering how in the world did a group of people from one race decide they could roll up on native people who LIVE on their own land, decide they could come in and mock, mutilate, mimic, maim, destroy and kill for their own gains.
Racism. Greed.
Killed off their main food source and starved them. Cruel mofos.
Simple answer – the white men had guns.
And there you have it.
These are so beautiful. The dignity and honor of the people just leap from the pictures.
These portraits are powerful. Thank you, SG2 for posting them.
Hauntingly beautiful and a reminder of the First Nations people. We will not forget.
My pleasure, Ametia. The images are quite stirring.
SG2, thank you for your article posting of these wonderful First people who lost their land and faced genocide at the hands of European Americans who wrongly used religion to call it Manifest Destiny.
The EVIL Doctrine of Discovery issued by the Catholic Church in 1452/3 :
The origin of the doctrine goes back to the papal bulls issued by Pope Nicholas V in 1452 and 1455 respectively, allowing the invasion and killing of the Indigenous Peoples.
These historical church documents titled Dum Diversas and Romanus Pontifex called for non-Christian people to be captured, vanquished and to have their possessions and property seized by the Christian monarchs.
On basis of the same historical precedence the statement points out that, “Christopher Columbus was instructed, for example, to ‘discover and conquer,’ ‘subdue’ and ‘acquire’ distant lands.”

The sounds you hear on the wind are the voices of our ancestors still telling us how to sing and make the music that was given to us by the bird nation. The songs of our people will never be lost as long as we sit and listen to the wind. When we need a medicine song we only have to offer tobacco and listen. Soon the wind will whisper the song we need for healing or for helping the people.
Thank you for this, Yahtc. The music is so beautiful.
