John Wayne’s Horses

Waynes horses ran

away and returned

to the place from whence

they were captured

There were cultures

living on the lands

you call ari zona long before

the movies

believe it or not

animals know

where their homes are

and return to their

native lands… and people…

they also try to return

Here is something to chew on:

Some of the tribes of the Southwest:

Ak-Chin, Tohono O’odham, Pinal

Akimel O’odham, Hia C-eḍ Oʼodham

Maricopa, Cocopah, Yuma, Somerton

Colorado River, La Paz, Chemehuevi

Mohave, Hopi, Navajo, Apache

Gila, Yavapai, Maricopa

Havasupai, Coconino, Havasupai

Hopi-Tewa

Ky kots movi (?), Hualapai, Yavapai

Hualapai, Kaibab, Coconino

Southern Paiute

Pascua Yaqui, Pima, Pascua Yaqui            

Languages

The indigenous peoples of Arizona speak a variety of languages from several different language families. Speakers of Yuman–Cochimí languages include the Havasupai, Hualapai, Yavapai, Mohave, Halchidhoma, Quechan, Maricopa (Piipaash), and Cocopah.

The Navajo and Apache are Southern Athabaskan-speaking people who migrated into the American Southwest from the north, possibly around 1300 AD

Point being: The Native population of of the continent were (and are)

very intelligent and in harmony with Nature. But can we catch up…

“Ameria” (How embarrassing)… Here you can find “facts” on google:

“Did Christopher Columbus or Amerigo Vespucci discover America?”

“Columbus found the new world, but Vespucci was the man who recognized that it was a new world.”

This is ridiculous…

How can people think in absurd ways over generations? Analogy:

“I found a penny on the sidewalk, but my sister recognized it was a coin, so I gave it to her.” But, in fact, it belonged to someone else!

Absurdity in Reverse: Native people go to Europe in the Dark Ages. They conquer the sick and rotten communities and take over the land. In that case, would we say the Mayans discovered Europe?

Furthermore, it would have been in Europe’s interest at that time, since half the population was carted away into mass graves. In contrast, the cultures decimated by the Europeans seem to have been thriving at the time.

To be fair, First Nation people were certainly no more ethical than any other tribal nation. Name one territory that has held peace with a close neighbor over generations (OK, except Canada and the US). On the other hand, Native American weapons remained simple over generations. There seems to be no escalation of violence in warfare.

On another note, most likely First Nation people were more intelligent in relation to the natural environment than we in the indutrial age.

What is called the “industrial revolution” lead to people tossing personal sewage onto the streets in piss pots and shit buckets in Paris, London, and other Metropoli. Child labor, poverty, imprisonment, and other social atrocities were common.

Meanwhile, the First Nation people went their “own way” with Nature. It appears their greatest defect was territorial warfare.

Finally. We must admit, at least, the invasion of the Europeans into what is now known as “the Americas” was a monumental genocide.

 It was a decimation of many beautiful cultures.

Now we think Europe is such a cultural haven, but at the time, they became barbarians… dragged out from the sewers of the renaissance in a frenzy to find gold. Put on ships to conquer new worlds. “Make your country rich!” “Mow down the enemy… Be a Hero!”

And history repeats itself time and time again…

Here gold, there oil… What’s next?

The bar remains so low due to this cowardly “conquest”

And the minds of the “conquistadores” remain

In their elaboration of dress and exploitation

And the gold remains in Spain. Have you ever Thought to give it back? Such is “humanity”…
