Identity

When most white Americans think about Native Americans it is not in the sense in which Native Americans think of themselves. Rather it is in the sense of the "pleasant" stories of "the First Thanksgiving" where Pilgrims and Indians being all fine, dandy and joyful. This is not the case, what Americans don't learn during the Elementary school cirriculum is that it was not a nice interaction where each group teaches the other, but a time of violence, disease, and forced relocation of Indians.

I came across this image during a google search, it caught my eye immediately and I felt compelled to share it with everyone else. I feel that this is a very powerful image in so many ways.
