cmv: I (a white person) don’t feel any guilt about occupying Native American land.

My school seems to spend a lot of time telling us students that we are on the “blank” tribe’s ancestral land. They have many round table discussions and posters around campus promoting the importance of the indigenous peoples, having signed with Blank tribes language, and I just don’t understand.

Now, does the history of the United States’s treatment of indigenous peoples suck? Yes, of course. But I don’t see it as being any different than any other war or settlement dispute. I don’t see any more significant reason to need to learn about these people or any need to “acknowledge” where my school is located especially.

Historically when people move into an area, they kick out the old inhabitants. This is unfortunate, but it’s just the way things work/ed. 

Even indigenous peoples themselves conquered and were conquered. They had wars, culture, and expansion, and yet the university seems only to care when the American settlers did it for the final time. 

I’m looking forward to the discussion and want to approach it with an open mind.

Lots of those groups did sign treaties with America. Treaties that were made in good faith. Treaties that we completely failed to honor. 

War is one thing, but telling a group of people that they will be fine if the do X, Y and Z, having that group then do those things and still booting them off their land and killing them is shitty.
