#FourthOfJuly
I don't talk much about the damage the #Colonization of North America and the subsequent #Independence of the #UnitedStates has done to my personal family. And I probably never will, but it has been substantial, even to this very day.
Certainly I confront what the land and resources theft, what the genocide and enslavement of millions of people has done to my people more than my mother or grandmother, who were much more shell shocked than I am.
