My Grandfather on my moms side moved onto the Reservation in 1935 and I have lots of relatives that still live on the Rez.
We are white but a lot of cousins including myself married into and had babies with Indians.
Both women and men.
I think we see Indians in a different light that those who have been raised in mostly all White Areas.
This is Indian Country.
Taken over by the Whites murdering everybody.
The whole North American and South American Continents the same.
The whole world.
We just happen to be near a Rez and on a Rez.
Makes a difference.
White Earth.
Fifty miles East of Fargo, North Dakota
Two hundred miles Northwest of Minneapolis - Saint Paul.
Lake Country.
Canada about one hundred and fifty miles north.
The Great Lakes two hundred miles East.
This whole country here was Sioux.
Four hundred lakes in a twenty five mile area.
Woods Country.
White Earth is now Chippewa.
Ojibwa.
Anishinaabe.
It had been Sioux for tens of thousands of years and more.
Fifty Thousand years some say.
Some say Forever.
Buffalo Country and Lakes and Woods.
Right on the edge of the prairie where sixty million Buffalo lived all across the great plains grass country.
A billion Passenger Pigeons and sixty million Buffalos and almost all of the Indians murdered by White Migrating Europeans stealing the land and slaughtering the trees and burning the grass and putting plows in the ground growing wheat and sugar beets.
The Land Rush was on.
1492 - 2019
The Prairie Starts about one mile west of here.
I'm sure the buffalo roamed right where I'm standing to some extent and enormously for about eight hundred miles West and about the same North and South covering seven or eight states and more.
Midwest.
All the way to the Rockies.
I'm not sure how far they went into the woods and lake country but a little I am sure.
Right on the edges of the forests at least.
Red River and Red River Valley with six feet of topsoil from all of the Buffalo runs through Downtown Fargo, North Dakota
Eight hundred miles of Buffalo Country.
Eight hundred by eight hundred.
That's 640,000 Square Miles
A Section is One Square Mile of land or 640 Acres.
64,000 thousand of those.
Mostly Sioux around here and a bunch of other Tribes all around.
Sixty million Buffalo killed and a Billion Passenger Pigeons shot out of the sky.
White Man.
Brutal.
Savage.
Insane.
Stimulants.
And never once knowing it.
The whole planet earth.

The Chippewa were forced from the great lakes area into Sioux country because White Man was Slaughtering them and forcing them onto Reservations.
They had no place to go but West.
There is a Monument Stone Marker on the Refuge part of the reservation a few miles from here that shows how the two tribes met up and fought.
One man died.
I have always held it up for the Sioux who were big enough to let the Chippewa have the land and they moved farther out into the Prairie Country where more Sioux Tribes were.
They knew the Chippewa had no choice and let them have it with our further bloodshed.
Mixing the Tribes wasn't considered.
Nature still held as best it could.
Indians didn't kill one another unless they had to and they never murdered women and children and babies until White Mans Stimulated Insanity was forced upon them.
Eighty million dead and died in World War Two.
Half of them women and children.
White Man's Insane Wars.
Getting ready for World War Three.
Ask Donald Trump.
The likes of which nobody has seen.
Keeping his ass out of Prison from his Narcissism and his Criminal Deeds and self serving Superiority and Child Molesting.
World War Three.
