The native first people of the Americas—“dreadful fear”

The second thread in America’s Dark Story is the seminal and ongoing relationship between the native first people and the Indo-European immigrants and their culture. This relationship clarifies how deeply embedded “dreadful fear” is in the psyche and soul of “America.”

The story of “American Indians,” “Native People,” “First People,” “Native Americans,” the “Red Men,” etc., was written at the moment of “first contact” and continues to be told, revised and fired by ongoing debates about facts, interpretations, the need to make moral and actionable demands on American governments at every level, and the value of radical actions to redress perceived wrongs.

The historical interpretations range from an

Ooops! Sorry, really didn’t mean to do that!” to a
Both sides are to blame!” to an indictment of intentional
Genocide!

The history is significant. The histories written—by all sides: left, right and center—are significant. In the main, they all handle the same “facts.” Each then creatively imagines a story that they claim is the true historical story.

Of great concern to Earthfolk is that these revisionist or “new” histories, in the main, fail to tell their own Dark Story. For us, no historical story is useful unless it includes both its Light and Dark stories.
