Wronged Natives

At first they called them savages then took away their land, then they called them primitive and didn't understand. They had their own society before the white man came, who forced them into slavery which filled their hearts with shame. Pushed into reservations and told they had to stay, forget about the life they had and learn a different way. Forced to live a white mans life with nowhere left to hide, they didn't forget their own beliefs and they never lost their pride. Decendents of these brave natives now in our social throng, will never forgive the nation that treated their people so wrong.
