    I have a very interesting discussion with a man Who was up Medicine man for a tribe that mostly Was in New Mexico all the way said like Tribes there wasn't a fixed border where they only remained at but For the time that he was there he said that's their area and He was explaining to me one of the jobs that he did apart from Uh doing the things like praying for The sun going down and praying the blessings on the land as the sun would arise and so forth day after day regardless of where he was at Period he explained to me that one of his jobs Was to go to funerals And during the funeral He would be an even before that Um he would be enchanting spells that To binding attempts of witches trying to Take possession of the departed Soul How that worked Was that they would tell the family The one who've passed That they had taken possession of that Spirit that soul And made them a slave This s*** is a legend period to tell that Family member if they didn't pay them money it would make that Suffer Instead of going on to the happy hunting ground Period Um So he said over the period from the time he hears Of one of the speakers who died They began to give the The Spells of protection for And So forth and I don't know what was going on with my face but it was enough that he Responded like as if I guess get um It explained To say well it's a lot better than it was back in the day Period and I was like well what was back in the day Period and he said well If a brave died In Battle They would bring the body back to be burned And they would take the wife of The brave Who was still living And tie her to the corpse Period because the idea was If they left the woman alone she would become a witch An enchant the whole tribe Period So To make sure that wouldn't happen They would burn the body Of the deceased Warrior along with his wife Well she was still alive until she died and turned into Ash. He said he talked to some people who were Buddhists when he was in college and they said that in the ancient times and the Buddhist history they did the same thing back in the medieval and before the medieval. Now for those who don't understand this if you if you didn't an actual look into these things you would see that it wasn't just places like that it included places like the Vikings were very much afraid of witches they did the exact same thing and this was during the time of them also worshiping Odin not just in the Christian era. And many other places in Eastern Europe before the Christians took over they were doing that as well in those areas because spirituality was not something that arrived with Christians it was there long before Christianity began to take root. I would tell people to broaden their Horizons and look into it because when you do you're going to surprise you how many places around the world did the exact same thing if not doing it worse than Christians did or anyone else for that matter.

    I seriously think 2 companies standing down and the account of captain soule and lieutenant cramer, i think there was a legitimate massacre. This video makes it sound like a battle, this sounds like the armys account (chivingtons account), it was a massacre. However the native Americans were not purely innocent before the massacre, they were actively hostile, raiding, and killing settlers.

    You have here invaders/colonizers who come to colonize/steal lands that belong to another people. The European-Americans never respected the treaties they signed with the natives whom they considered savages, that is to say sub-humans. The Americans had numbers and technological superiority on their side. Sure of their strength and their right, guided by manifest destiny, the "savages" then had no choice but to disappear whether they signed peace/a treaty or not. Today this tragedy is happening every day in Gaza, with the American army playing Israel, and the Indians playing the Palestinians. All this massacre is being committed with the military help of the United States. They committed genocide and now they are helping to commit genocide elsewhere in the world. Genocidaires one day, genocidaires forever. When you look closely, the history of the United States and Israel is similar; that of a population that came from another continent and mercilessly conquered the territory of another people. The United States, a country that committed genocide to conquer a territory, is now committing genocide by proxy by helping another country do so.

    That’s not where it happened!! It happened in an area know as Canon City, Colorado. The land was shared between the indigenous and a black cattle rancher. They live peacefully with each other and he had a family with one of the women. He was used to be harassed by kernel Chivington and his men. On the day this happened. The soldiers came from behind the mountain in a way they would surprise the rancher as he was known to stand up to them. The massacre started with them Sneaking up on him first. As he didn’t have time to warn the indigenous who lived on the lower part of the land. The land Sloped!, and was at the base of small mountain. NOT WHERE THEYRE TELLING PEOPLE IT HAPPENED!! I pray for the souls of those who wander the land still and for those who have incarnated and remember!

    Official investigations: As to Colonel Chivington, your committee can hardly find fitting terms to describe his conduct. Wearing the uniform of the United States, which should be the emblem of justice and humanity; holding the important position of commander of a military district, and therefore having the honor of the government to that extent in his keeping, he deliberately planned and executed a foul and dastardly massacre which would have disgraced the veriest savage among those who were the victims of his cruelty. Having full knowledge of their friendly character, having himself been instrumental to some extent in placing them in their position of fancied security, he took advantage of their in-apprehension and defenceless condition to gratify the worst passions that ever cursed the heart of man. In conclusion, your committee are of the opinion that for the purpose of vindicating the cause of justice and upholding the honor of the nation, prompt and energetic measures should be at once taken to remove from office those who have thus disgraced the government by whom they are employed, and to punish, as their crimes deserve, those who have been guilty of these brutal and cowardly acts.

This was a favourite whistled by Stan Jones as he checked his weather stations while working as a park ranger, clouds rolling in.
