The lot of the Mohawk

The European incursion into North America was a de facto dispossession of everything the Red Man had. It was inevitable. The European had the power that flowed out of the barrel of his gun.
Here is one little sampling of what an Indian tribe had to put up with and which only now2016.12.12 has been resolved:

All Red Indians of Continental America have by their dispossession been demeaned and degraded as human beings and as a culture.
The ultimate put down, is the use of European power to invite more and more non-Red Indians of all ilk, to come and live in Continental America. And the European never asks the Red Indian if it is OK to do such a thing upon all these lands that was originally theirs . . . which we took away from them.
