Did Religion ruin the Plains?
KHEMETIC NATION ABORIGINAL SCIENCE
─
The indigenous peoples of the plains were in a hunter-gatherer lifestyle, creating a pristine way of life for thousands of years before the existence of European religion. As we see certain groups in the area such as the Crow, Blackfeet, Gros Ventre, etc. we see the intrusion of European dominance and religion around 1802 in the plains especially with the Blackfeet Native Americans who were victims of genocide in what is known as the Peigan Massacre some recall it as the Baker Massacre where there was a launch to slaughter native peoples in 1870. Major Eugene Baker led his united states army troops from Bozeman’s Fort Mills north to the village of the unarmed peoples on January 23, 1870. Opening fire on 200 men, women, and children they murdered an estimated 200 people as they were in the wrong village.
The instruction was to find the group led by the plains chief, “Mountain Chief” who was in search as his warrior group was blamed for the murder of a European rancher. With the massacre along with buffalo extermination in this region of time, the people suffered tremendously, ending in a starvation winter of 1883.
This changed the face of the people going into the new world of the twentieth century. In modern times we see many of the region's communities under the umbrella of Christianity. Could the laws of the book we see as basic instructions before leaving earth known as the bible be the key tool to indigenous life? With the indigenous table referenced from the book Blackfoot Physics by F. David Peat page 102, we see ancient indigenous civilization near the California border 200,000 years old. This alone would question the timing and laws of the book put upon the people.
As the Christian literature puts us here on earth close to around 6,000 years? The alphabet used in the plains Algonquian dialect of the Blackfeet only contains thirteen letters and one accent diacritic for vowels. As the modern-day, writing system was created by Donald Frantz in the year 1978. With no letter “j”, also no letter “u”, could it cause confusion for the name “Jesus” or “Y'ahshua” or “Tammuz” to be used? with the story itself having its shelf life and the existence of petroglyphs in the Blackfeet Confederacy's region over 3000 years old, we would need the clarity to call on the creator for the dialect of the plain it is translated as “ayao iihtsipaitapiiyo’ pa “ (calling the creator).
Will the indigenous youth be able to question the books?
Will they be able to fully translate from one language to another?
Will the message be clear?
All questions to thinks about after nearly 200 years of European contact and readjustment of culture and environment. from 1802 until the present day, the contact has been more negative than positive for the lifestyle of indigenous peoples. Today we have a great number of residential schools or boarding schools that have recently in the summer of 2021 been found with hundreds of bodies of murdered indigenous children.
The times of peace and unity are scarce. We know the endurance of the native community and strength of the people, with the resistance here in America since the shipwreck of Christopher Columbus after 1492. before the year 1802, the people lived in matriarchal systems where no woman was subservient to anyone, with a strict outlook and system on family, polygamy, and kinship. did European religion ruin the great plains? ..….and is European religion the root of American genocide?
