@@casteretpollux There are plenty of his pieces here on KZbin, he's a phenomenal composer! Check out his piece "The Journey of the Horizontal People" or his "American Ledger (No. 1)" both have performances posted to KZbin.

"You people"?

[@heidiarobinson3866]

"You People". Haven't YOU People Who Tried and Failed to Do Genocide on Two Cultures in Our Land, Done Offending the Original Inhabitants of this land who ALLOWED you to live here. We Still have our Powwows. We're learning our Languages again. We're Strong again. I tell you this as one of the Elders of the 7 tribes of the Sioux Nation. Keep it up with your rude, Idiotic Comments. Make Asses of yourselves. And watch our Peaceful Power Grow. Our Indigenous Nations will tired of your Stupidity. Your Ignorance that Our people Have always Known God. The One Time Creator. Even Apache Geronimo knew God. Our only true Crime against you is Still going on in our own land. All our Attempts to try and tell you or Ask You. "Please, join with us on our hunts. We need food too. While the meat is Still Warm, We will skin One Half, you Skin the other. So it shall be with all living creatures that we both seek to fill our Families Bellies. But you, WhiteEyes,. We call you, or anyone who acts like you. ^ALL YOUR EYES WILL ALLOW YOU TO SEE, IS SOMEONE WITH SKIN THE SAME COLOR AS YOURS, WHO NEEDS THE SAME FOOD AS YOU, DRINK AND BATHE IN THE SAME WATER AS YOU. YOU WHO KILLED ANOTHER PERSON, BECAUSE IN YOUR IGNORANCE AND FEAR, DIDN'T STAY, WITHOUT KILLING HUNDREDS OF BUFFALO, AND THINKING THAT THE "INDIANS" WILL TAKE IT AND EAT IT. WRONG AGAIN. WHY WOULD YOUR PEOPLE LEAVE HUNDREDS OF CARCASSES, ROTTING IN THE SUN. THINKING ONLY TO MAKE MONEY OFF OF THE GREAT BEASTS YOU KILLED. NOT REALIZING THAT THAT THE MEAT OFF OF THAT BEAUTIFUL ANIMAL YOU JUST KILLED, WOULD FEED YOU AND OTHERS IN YOUR VILLAGES. If only you had thought from when your people first came to this Land that these people have survived here where all we see, is a large amount of trees in forest. And a people if we don't want to fight them forever, we should try to understand. Share All things with them. Make a friendly Alliance. Instead you were Greedy! Thanksgiving? You taught your children your Shameful Lie, and made up a Fairy Tale that is Still being Taught! There was no Turkey, no Indian corn. You were too good for that. Our People who you Slaughtered and enslaved, graciously made you Venison. You didn't want the Corn that the Natives had cooked. You made other dishes out of the Maize you stole from our winter bin. After your dinner that we weren't invited to, You built a Big Fence. And Slaughtered every Native you could find. You People, have a Shameful legacy to make amends to.
