After an incredible morning at Carlsbad Caverns, we set out on a 3.5-hour drive across New Mexico to our second National Park of the day; White Sands. Home of the world’s largest gypsum dunefield, White Sands is also adjacent to the Holloman Air Force Base and the White Sands Missile Range. In 1945, the world’s […]
White Sands National Park | New Mexico | 04/03/21 — Colorado Chelsea
Driving on my own from Canada to Texas I was so road weary…When Google maps announced that I had crossed the state line into Colorado I was overcome with emotion! I began to weep and weep and weep! Luckily no one was on the freeway but me. It as been virtually empty roadways and land the whole way. The only time I have encountered traffic is in the metropolitan hubs like Salt Lake City, Utah. Did you know that there are no tents full of homeless people on all this land in America? Did you know that?
In all the miles I have driven I only saw one person dressed all in black walking along the highway by themselves. The first time I saw them I was near Monticello, Utah. I took them as a sign to stop driving and get a hotel for the night which I did. I saw them again in the daylight and I took them this time as a sign to stay in my “lane”. In other words to continue on the road I was on. If I veered left or right I would be in grave danger. So I have stayed my course and have had no adverse situations come upon me.
The state of Colorado is a state I was meant to see and she is beautiful. I have driven through so many reservations. Colorado is filled with reservations. As a child I was taken to ours and we rode on a train and saw all the trees and lands. I stood in the same place that I stood in lives past as the same sun shone down upon me. I bless the old versions of myself. Don’t you?

The First Thanksgiving Horror
The account that Europeans brought civilization to America is the biggest European lie of all times.
The fact that this revisionist history has been and is still being told and taught is another reminder that the genocide continues.
The first settlers almost starved to death. If it were not for the help of the natives they would have. Many Europeans died during this time; they committed suicide, suffered from mental illness and also alcohol addiction.
The first settlers took Indians as prisoners and forced them to teach them the art of farming.
“They had spent most of their days digging random holes in the ground in search of gold instead of planting crops. Soon they were starving and digging up putrid Indian corps to eat.”
Minnie Hosea
After teaching the settlers farming and saving them from starvation on the first ‘Thanksgiving ‘ the colonist offered the natives a toast to eternal friendship. Soon after the chief, his family, advisers and two hundred followers dropped dead of poison.
Hidden History of California Blacks
The true history of California Blacks is a powerful story of global genocide on a magnitude that is unbelievable. 100 Million Black and Brown people wiped off the global landscape and American continent with barely a trace. The history of a magnificent empire is non existent in pop culture, myths and Euro ‘re – visionary’ history.
1492
Let the infamous date, 1492 be spoken and heard by indigenous ancestors from now until eternity. That date marks the beginning of the horrific, evil execution and genocide of indigenous Americans, who were predominantly Blacks of Africa, Asia and early history Europeans ad mixture; a fact that has been conveniently and deliberately left out of World History.
This global conspiracy , in addition to the ‘proven practicality of genocide’ (owed much to English and United States history) was the inspiration for Hitler’s concentration camps.
Hitler praised the ‘efficiency’ of America’s extermination of the ‘savages.’
In the 1700’s
80% of the United States budget went to attacking Indians and taking their land. 20% of the budget went to education and other spending. 80+% of the Native American population was enslaved or wiped out. George Washington and other USA officials approved of the extermination of the Indian race.
- Pursue Indians until extermination – Thomas Jefferson
- Extermination must continue to be waged until the Indian becomes extinct a complete Eradication of the Native race. – Theodore Roosevelt
California Greed, Gold, and Genocide
No group of people suffered as much from the Gold Rush as the California Blacks and other native peoples.
Estimation of the numbers in the area of what is now called California before the arrival of Europeans ranged from ten million three hundred and fifteen thousand or more, a calculation never officially reported.
Even before the gold rush the population had plummeted to 5 – 2.5 million due to slavery, Euro invasion and Christian Document of Discovery. Plus, Mexican, Indian and Spanish wars, along with vigilantly and militia mass murder. All had taken a tole on the original people.
In the 1800’s
On April 12, 1850 California passed the so called “Act for the Government and Protection of the Indians.” This act allowed any white settler to force any Indian found to be without means of support to work for him.
Since Indians could not testify against a white person in court any Indian could be seized as a virtual slave under the law. Many settlers didn’t even bother with the law and purchased Indian children outright. Fortunes were made off the sale of women and children.
The editorial appearing in the California Marysville Appeal newspaper illustrates this practice: It is from the mountain tribes that the white settlers draw their supply of kidnapped children, educated as servants, and women of purpose of labor or lust.
These are partners of the state who’s soul occupation has been to steal young children and squaws and dispose of them for handsome prices to the settlers who… willing to pay $50 to $60 dollars for a young Digger to cook and wait upon them, or $100 dollars for a likely young girl.
1851
In 1851’s message to the California Legislature, than California Governor Peter H. Burnett promised:
” A war of extermination will continue to be waged between the two races until the Indian race becomes extinct.”
Governor Peter H. Burnett
1852
California paid one million dollars revenue from the gold fields – to militia’s that hunted down and slaughter natives at will.
1853
Newspapers cheered on the statewide campaign. In 1853 the Eureka Herald called on the government to provide aid to:
“enable the citizens of the north to carry on a war of extermination until the last Black skin of these tribes has been killed.
Extermination is no longer a question of time – the time has arrived, the work has commenced and let the first man who says treaty or peace be regarded a traitor.” Other newspapers voiced similar sentiments.
Eureka Herald 1853
In order to clear the way for white settlement, the United States Senate in 1853 authorized these committees to negotiate treaties with the Indian tribes of California.
Of the over 250 indigenous nations, eighteen treaties were negotiated. The handful of tribes agreed to give away millions of acres of land in exchange for the U.S. Governments promise to protect the lands with adequate water and game to sustain them and their way of life.
These land would have contained about 7.5 million acres, or 7.5% of the land area of California. The eighteen tribes started moving to their new land location only to find out that the Senate had refused to ratify their treaties. Instead of treaties.
“A system of military post ” on government owned reservations was implemented. Each would put into place a ” system of discipline and instruction; The cost of the troops would be ” borne by the surplus production of Indian labor.” No treaties were to be negotiated; instead they would be “invited to assemble within these reserves.”
1855
Towns offered bounty hunters cash for every Indian scalp they obtained. Rewards ranged from $5 dollars for every severed head in Shasta City in 1855 to 25 cents for a scalp in Honey Lake in 1855.
Indigenous women were forced to wear the severed head of their husbands or sons around their necks like a necklace for months.
Other regions passed laws that called for the collective punishment for the whole village for crimes by Natives, up to the destruction of the entire village and all of its inhabitants.
These policies led to the devastation of over two hundred native California communities.
1857
In 1857, the state issued four hundred thousand dollars in bonds to pay for anti – Indian militias.
1870
In 1870, the California census only recorded the population at 32,000, however that did not take into count the Blacks and other natives who ran away and joined ranks with the Seminoles, and / or other Native nations, or those who picked up and moved to safer, locations.
The Black Californians were not a part of Northern California’s eighteen tribe treaty negotiations of 1853, they continued to valiantly fight the oppressive invaders until the late 1890’s, the gold rush signaled the beginning of the end for the lands first people.
The gallant, California Blacks, one of the last great native nation to stand up and defend their ancestral home land — America ( Utala – AtLan ) Land of the Blacks, was over.
