DID NEWCOMERS IMMIGRATING TO THE NEW WORLD PAY FOR INDIGENOUS LAND THEY USED FOR BUILDING FOREIGN CHURCHES?

European invaders and occupiers stole land from America's original people for their biased absolutist churches.  But an honest soul insisted on buying property from the indigenous people.  This man was Roger Williams, who the Puritan Massachusetts Bay Company banned from its colony for not playing by its rules.  But he formed his own colony, Rhode Island, to bring about reform and non-conformity.

But stealing land and gold from the original people was just a drop in the bucket of murky water. The First American holocaust was a silent killer of the original inhabitants of the New World. This violation of human inherent rights was criminal genocide included in another one of my posts but for some reason not listed.  Therefore, this corrupt history has merit in being repeated.

Dear Ones,

From the first invasion of indigenous people in the Americas, the New World committed intentional extermination of the original long-term inhabitants.  Ever since Christopher Columbus's Christian conversion of the first people in America as his ships sailed the Atlantic with sails displaying red crosses,  the original inhabitants have been abused, putting it lightly.  King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain could not get enough gold stolen from the American Indians, a misnomer from the start.  They harassed Columbus so much that he and his men killed for the lust of gold, as they also started the first scalping, a vulgar war tactic originated around the Black Sea in Europe.

Then the federal colonial government endorsed the killing of the 'buffalo"–the mainstay of the original people.  These human beings depended on the American bison for sustenance and all their Earthly needs. This wholesale  decimation ended up in a near extermination of these animals as it nearly did with the original people.

Along with imported diseases from the Europeans, the population of indigenous people eventually dropped to what it is now, a little over 1 percent of traditionalists living on the last of their inherent lands. The Federal Government labeled  these territories as "reservations"–what First Americans began to call  prisoner of war camps controlled by the unelected Bureau of Indian Affairs in the Department of the Interior–BIA, nicknamed "bad Indian Affairs." 

Then came the final historical blow to the same First Nations.  Every time a member of the over 500 Nations within a Nation was admitted to a hospital for what ever reason, that person was sterilized.  This amounted to another form of genocide!  It took Senator James Abourezk to finally stop this crime in Congress during the 1970s.
