My question is why many of the children, when rescued didn't want to go back to their families or rejoin society? They would sometimes commit suicide if they could not return to the tribes that stole them.

Canada is pulling funds from groups still searching for alleged bodies buried at Indigenous residential schools funded by Catholics and other Christians. An organization and a committee of experts formed to search for the elusive remains have both lost funding in the past month, following four years of searches that have found zero remains. The Survivors’ Secretariat and the committee both say they have lost funding this year, the CBC reported. One of the committee’s founding members, Crystal Gail Fraser, told the outlet in mid-February that the National Advisory Committee on Residential Schools Missing Children and Unmarked Burials would have...

“This is a Native American sacred medicine and we don’t want people messing around with it,” said a Navajo member of the church from a congregation in Rio Grande City, Texas, who asked not to be identified. “The Natives people don’t like it.

From Elon Musk: "This is the right position for those who want America to win. For those who want America to lose for their own personal gain, I have no respect. Zero." From The Rabbit Hole: "Elon's stance on immigration has been pretty consistent. Here's him outlining it in 2023:" Quote from Elon Musk: “We should greatly increase legal immigration of anyone who is hard-working, honest, and loves America. Every such person is an asset to the country. But massive illegal immigration of people we know nothing about is insane.”

I said at the time I thought it would last around 18 months and finally climax with a large fracture in the political movement around 2026. I had no idea at the time, the group of technocrats would begin publicly advocating for replacing American workers before Trump took office.For the past several days I have watched Vivek Ramaswamy, David Sacks, Elon Musk and his big tech influencers debating with their followers about the importance for them to continue expanding H-1b visas for foreign tech workers....

In October, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) sent a chartered flight carrying Indian nationals back home, marking a growing trend in deportations to India. This was no ordinary flight - it was one of multiple large-scale “removal flights” carried out this year, each typically carrying more than 100 passengers. The flights were returning groups of Indian migrants who "did not establish a legal basis to remain in the US". According to US officials, the latest flight carrying adult men and women was routed to Punjab, close to many deportees' places of origin. No precise breakdown of hometowns was provided....

While the second Monday in October has historically been celebrated as Columbus Day and is still federally recognized as such, many have pushed for moving away from the holiday to acknowledge the atrocities Columbus committed against the Indigenous People of the hemisphere.

In a startling development, Warren Jones Crazybull, a resident of Idaho, has been formally accused of issuing threats against ex-President Donald Trump. These threats were allegedly made through multiple phone calls to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in sunny Florida, as revealed by official court filings. The unsettling communications occurred on July 31, a period shadowed by the recent violent attack on the Republican presidential hopeful during a Pennsylvania rally. Crazybull, 64, purportedly conveyed his intentions in no uncertain terms across nine separate calls within the day. His ominous message in the initial call chillingly directed to “Find Trump,” with Crazybull threatening...

In this video we read from "Life Among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Their Claims," by Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins, published all the way back in 1883. This tells of the Pyramid Lake War that broke out in 1860 between the Piutes and the white settlers near Genoa, Nevada. It also tells the Piute legend of the red-haired cannibalistic people whom the Piutes exterminated several hundred years before this book was written. Transcript linked below video.

Earlier in 2023, top American lawmaker Rich McCormick, while addressing the US House of Representatives, said that Indian-Americans constitute about one per cent of the US population but pay about six per cent of the taxes. Does it ring a bell? Interestingly, Indians are the highest-earning ethnic group in the US — ahead of people from countries like China and Japan. How many Indians are there in the US and how much are they earning? The number of people identifying as Asian in the United States nearly tripled in the past three decades, and Asians are now the fastest-growing of...

Canadians’ wages, wealth, and productivity are falling amid a massive inflow of poor migrants, yet Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wants to expand citizenship to the foreign-born children of the migrants who take low-wage jobs from Canadians. “That’s bonkers,” responded Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “There are tens of millions of people around the world who would do [the Canadian jobs] for room and board — who would do it for free and hustle a little extra money on the side to pay for food! — if the consequence was that their kids would all be able...
