  • From his birth in the Bitterroot Mountains among the Salish Tribe, to his exploits as a warrior with the Lemhi Shoshone and Bannocks, Washakie was recognized early as an extraordinary person. But he made his historical claim to greatness in the second half of the 19th century, as chief of the Eastern Shoshone. For lesson plans, visit windriveredu.org/wes

Many great deeds should remembered....Here's one people might relate too.....After Custer was massacred, Sitting Bull went to him for refuge with the cavalry hot on his heels. The Canadian Mounted Police told them to leave Canada. I am positive Washakie and my GGrdfather knew each other. Hiy Hiy

      America would have been much greater if the Native Americans united and ruled it. Modernism would still come to it, but not on the terms of the Western civilization. It'd come on the terms of the nature loving children of the Natives.

      Who knows that the Lakota tribes conquered the Black Hills by brutal warfare from the Cheyenne 1750 ?
      So it is a thing of the Washitsu, the white man, to look back in history...The natives do not do that..they live in the present, looking forward to the near future, but their past is their past..which has nothing to do with nowadays...So no one can say, what would happen if...that is never the way natives think, because thats a waste of thoughts...
      That is what my native friends told me,cuz I am very interested in their past...they think back as long as to the stories their elders alive tell them...the rest of their history is a mix of myths, fairy tales and history told from generation to generation...

    If they had LISTENED to the 1st Nations people, already on this continent, we'd be living a totally different way of life.....One where we respect Mother Earth and each other. One where we could roam freely and not have barriers to this beautiful land and all this crime. What George Washington and men like him did is shameful, yet, he's our nation's greatest hero? Really? He and his kind broke their written word 8 times! 8 treaties were broken. Look it up! Greed and the ability to run over a peaceful people is sickening to me and I'm only part Cherokee! My entire family, except one, was wiped out due to George Washington and his ARMY! I say its time for a NATIVE AMERICAN to be PRESIDENT and totally change our way of life! Crime is killing us all!!! Hatred and jealousy rule every man and woman. I live in Mississippi- about a quarter-mile from the Choctaw Reservation. It hurts my soul to drive thru the reservation and see the trash piled up around each house and down the sides of the roads.....It's as if their souls have gone. They care the least for Mother Earth if all the trash is a sign. All the Choctaw people care about is their two Casinos now. When I was a kid, I learned how to make jewelry, make arrows, ride a horse and hear the stories around the campfire while they danced. My son is 18 and has never seen a dance or heard a story except for the ones his great-grandmother has told him. The women of my family taught him how to find medicine and food from the land. Life has left the reservation and now they just trudge on as if asleep. You never hear of someone offering to pass on knowledge like when I was a kid. You hear a black man say his people were/are treated bad......BUT, they don't live on reservations with barely anything left to them but, the basics! Where I'm from, 1st Nations people are considered drunks and non-educated even by those same black people!!!! My son's grandfather is from North Dakota and yet, has NEVER offered to take my son to meet his people. For that matter, he's never taken my husband- his own son!! We, as a people, are dying in our souls. We are no longer connected to the Earth and hear her sing. Do you have a spirit animal? A name? Do you know your own history and have you heard the stories of your tribe? Or do you think the old ones are crazy or just telling made up "stories?" (Lies) We, even if we are only half or part or whatever.....are losing what is left of our connection to our tribe and this Earth. We're losing the knowledge that has been verbally passed down since the beginning of time! Have you EVER heard the stories of your people? Been to a pow-wow just to listen to the old ones? If you haven't then, George Washington has won! He wanted us gone and our way of life destroyed! He put us in the worst places he could find and called them Reservations!!! Reserves- like we were some kind of wild game to be corralled into a corner. Look this up- Washington was losing against the 1st Nations tribes because they had united as one tribe!! The government needed a sure-fire way to control the Natives. Their solution?? The Buffalo was killed, to extinction, so our ancestors couldn't feed and clothe themselves! After a few months of freezing and starving.....It was no trouble to round them all into reservations when the government promised food, shelter, and clothing to all the chiefs. Our people were starving and freezing to death without their main source- Buffalo. We used the hides for Tee-Pees, the fat for cooking and many other things. We used its hides for clothing- made yarn from its fur. So, taking away this one animal was the way they took the "savages" down. They said, "No food if you fight back." Then, they introduced alcohol. If you're drunk you don't care. That's still working on the Choctaw people today!!!! Most of them are alcoholics because their genetics can't handle the stuff. It isn't natural! We've all fallen into the biggest deception ever planned. Even white and black people are being deceived now. Our government has complete control over all of us.....If we fought back they'd just stop the food and we can no longer farm! None of us can take care of ourselves anymore......we're all reliant on the government for food, clothing, and shelter. Can you make your own clothes? Build a shelter? Grow a garden or forage for plants that grow in the wild? We're all in this mess together! Don't think you're separate or not affected due to your race......Why? Imagine if all the foreign countries banned together and cut off our food supply! The USA gets 90% of its fruit and vegetables from outside the USA. Let that sink in......Scary isn't it? Today? We are all so lazy and spoiled. Without a cellphone for 2 minutes and we're complaining to the world on Facebook!!! This is George Washington's reality.......sucks doesn't it? LOL

      If we give the land to the Native American tribes we took it from, do they also need to give it to the other tribes they took it from first? Do we give free land or free apartments to the French, Spanish, British, and Meso-Americans? What about somebody who is 1/8th Indian? Do they get an eighth of a lot of land? Do they get an eighth of a reparations check? What about other governments on American soil such as the Confederate States of America? Do we divide the country again along the Mason-Dixon line to give Southerners their government back? Or do we say that The South was defeated in war, that their men were killed, women were raped, economy destroyed, way of life ruined, and land utterly decimated with little to no regard for the idea of regressing back to our land's older forms of government. Reparations may sound like a kind hearted idea to some, but the idea is entirely impractical and it does no good to perpetuate the idea that reparations are owed. All you do through promoting the idea of reperations is further perpetuate the victim mentality within groups that are already struggling, which doesn't help them at all, but rather furthers their victimization into the present and future even more. I have a great deal of respect for the American Indian, but this land belongs to us now. The real issue we should be focusing on as a nation is preventing the colonization (immigration) of foreigners into the land. Diversity is not a strength. Cultural homogeneity is a strength. We need a nation of a people who by and large look the same, act the same, think the same, believe the same; have the same culture, ancestry, history, heritage, principles, values, beliefs, et. al. A homeland for all of us is a homeland for none of us. The majority group feels leeched off of and washed out, while the minority groups feel unwelcome or oppressed. Mixing cultures doesn't create diversity, it destroys it. The only way to preserve different cultures and peoples is throughseparation. The only way to destroy cultures and peoples is through mixing them. I believe we all deserve our own homeland, and being that the straight white man fought for nearly 400 years on this soil and lost millions of men at war fighting multiple governments and each other in order to set up this great nation we know and love today, I for one am in favor of retaining the land as property of the straight white man. Thanks.
