The Tamed Challenge

Native Tribal Nations,
eradicated –
treated as savages
without souls,

even by the missionaries.
Challenge of occupying land
of Tribal Nations,
disregarding, uprooting 

their culture, way of living
and their future generations.
Utter demise of Indian Tribal Nations,
their conquest, forceful relocation

and armed occupation.
Scorched earth, buffaloes killed,
uprooted crops, burned forests,
just to cut their supply base –

Pushing boundaries, dividing other Nations,
we leave troops on foreign soil,
occupying Nations’ land.
We make treaties – bloody quests.
