“Canada” is the Iriquois word for “big village.” Funny because Canada’s population is relatively small compared to many Western nations.

This is an interesting article. I’d like for people to know that the Huron tribe was also native to Michigan; many of the remaining Huron people were moved to Oklahoma in the 1800s.

Eastern Michigan University used to be the Hurons but a politically correct board of regents snookered by a fraudulent chief replaced “Hurons” with “Eagles”. There was only one “Hurons” in all of college athletics, but hundreds of “Eagles”. I hope they will change it back someday, but I am not optimistic because the alliance to restore the Huron name and logo has all but disappeared, as far as I can tell.

Here’s yet another example of how the truth slips in about the demise of most Native Americans. They weren’t killed in a coordinated genocidal system employed by racist white Europeans; most Indians died simply by exposure to viruses and bacteria that that the explorers brought with them from another hemisphere. IOW, it just happened.

Now, I suppose most guilty white liberal Americans believe that once Europeans found out that the Western Hemisphere was populated, they should have just gotten back onto their ships and sailed back to crowded Europe, thus preserving the so-called pristine Americas for the natives who were already here.

Sigh. Silly guilty white liberals. Not only didn’t the French, Spanish, English, and Dutch NOT do that, neither would you, if you were in the same situation as they were some 500 years ago.

Thus, get off my back. I’m NOT sorry whites came to America and I’m NOT sorry for something that whites had no control over (the spread of disease via mere exposure to one another).

Furthermore, I’m NOT sorry that there is only one speaker of the Huron language. I’m sure that there are 100’s of languages that have disappeared over the centuries, if not millenia. Are we to spend a million bucks trying to preserve each one? And for what purpose? Guilt?

One Language. One Nation. Under (the Christian) God. Indivisible.
