“I'm reasonably certain,
salmon, swordfish, and hammerhead sharks
do not find themselves paralyzed
by spasms of self-blame for their plight
- What could I do differently to placate these people?
If only I were a better fish they would not hate me -
but instead know precisely who is killing them.
The same can be said for the indigenous.
You can't get much clearer than Sitting Bull, who said,
when forced to speak at a celebration of the completion of a railroad
through what had been his people's land:
"I hate you.
I hate you.
I hate all the white people.
You are thieves and liars.
You have taken away our land and made us outcasts,
so I hate you."
It's important to note, by the way,
that the white translator did not speak these words,
but instead the "friendly, courteous speech he had prepared."
[Glaspell, Kate Eldridge. "Incidents in the Life of a Pioneer."
North Dakota Historical Quarterly, 1941, 187-88.]”
