Today or yesterday (depending on your time zone) was or will be the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples.
And the best way to remember the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples is to remember that there’s no such thing. 9 times out of 1, indigenous or indigeneity is a myth. Any people who survived long enough probably did so by displacing multiple other peoples who came before them.
England, with the invasions of the Angles, the Saxons, the Normans and then the Pakistanis, is just typical. Who are England’s indigenous people? The Beaker people? Raise a glass to them.
The ‘indigenous’ Hawaiians aren’t native to Hawaii. They’re Polynesian colonists who enslaved, cannibalized and sacrificed the people who lived there before them.
The Japanese have the Ainu.
The ‘Native Americans’? They may have been native to Siberia before their ancestors crossed the Bering land bridge.
Much as identity politics activists may protest, once scientists embraced the theory of a common origin of man, displacing any notion of the separate emergence of races taking place in different parts of the world, the notion of an indigenous people became absurd (and it was absurd before that as well.)
Human tribes aggressively expanded, warred, colonized and settled areas to create different groups. It’s hard to know to what extent any original group of settlers anywhere survive to this day from truly primitive eras. For the most part they were likely colonized and either wiped out or integrated into other groups. The only people who refrained from such behaviors to a degree were exactly those civilized cultures, ‘westerners’ most likely to be accused of being genocidal colonists and settlers. Whereas the Indian tribes misleadingly described as ‘indigenous’ had very little hesitation in attacking, wiping out and integrating any survivors, into their tribe.
So for the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, remember that the notion of ‘indigenous’ is a Marxist myth used to browbeat civilized peoples into feeling like they have no right to exist because tribes of settlers and colonists who sacrificed children on pyramids and cut the noses off women are considered to be ‘indigenous’ because they did their settling and colonizing a thousand years earlier.
Lib white bowing and scraping to more primitive (tribal) cultures, often violent, without even a written language in North America is ridiculous. Judges in Canada, especially the province of BC that is the California of the North are handing chunks of the country back to indigenous in one court case after another. (Indigenous land claims are for greater than 100% of BC territory because of overlapping claims by different tribes). The evidence for claims is often as flimsy as some ancient’s memory and testimony.
Who else is stupid enough to reverse history and restore land to the losers?
Casinos in USA is the reparation capitulations where white man and others can lose their wealth to indigenous and see travelling shows and have a cheap breakfast.
Yeah, a lot of the primitive groups were extremely violent, I come across that a lot while reading history.
Visit the upper floor of the anthropology museum in Mexico city for a robust view of the pre-Columbian occupants of the New World. An eye-opening tale of nomads, warriors, hunter-gatherers, and a handful of structured social orders, all pagan. And unending wars.
Those Incans Aztecs and Myan’s were so peaceful they went and raided other tribes for Human Sacrifices
Indians are an ungrateful bunch.
We are sick of their victimhood and racist behaviour.
They burn out Churches with zero fear.
They start Wildfires so they can be relocated to a Hotel in Edmonton. PARTY TIME.
FILTHY LIBERALS
Different races did develop in different parts of the world as a result of isolation from other races. so called Asians didn’t develop around the Mediterranean and Bushmen didn’t develop in present day China.
Food for thought: Here in the United States can we be given a specific time frame for when people of American Indian descent are no longer considered victim’s ? Will it be another 5 years, 50 ? 100 ? Never ? The Bureau of Indian Affairs has 3 $Billion a year budget. Time is way overdue for assimilation and they pull their own weight like everyone else here.
Abolish the Bureau of Indian Affairs but if they don’t want to assimilate most don’t have to. The majority of reservations are the result of treaties with The US government.
Under Trudeau, the annual payments to the “Indigenous” ballooned up to slightly higher than the annual military budget. For ~3% of the population.
And that’s not including the “unmarked graves” shakedown. Where we flew our flag at half mast for many months to remind whitey just how evil they are.
You only have one life to live and then you’re dead for a very long time. Forget your indigenous ancestors and live your life to the hilt before it’s all over.
“What You Are” – Michael J. Hurd
You are not — mostly — your race, your gender, your family-of-origin, your DSM-approved behavioral health label. You are not primarily your DNA. You are not your ancestry.
Mostly, you are your CHOICES. You are the sum total of your accumulated choices, large and small, over the course of your life. Your choices are always subject to change. But first: You must own them.
This is the first time I remember ever having agreed with you., but mostly, you’re right about this.
I’ve always favored the term “aboriginal” and “aborigines” when discussing “indigenous” people because it drives white liberals nuts. I don’t know why it should because it’s the term of choice for Australia’s “indigenous” people. I suppose it’s because white liberals have decided only the Native Aussies get to use it only, just like our “Native Americans” those are actually political terms. They can’t be Native Americans or Aussies if those polities didn’t exist, right?
But the funny part is since moving to CO I now count several Navajo, Apache, Commanche, Cherokee, Pawnee, Chipawa and Ute friends and they’re perfectly cool with calling themselves “native” or “indian” (feathers not dots). 🙂
But keeping up with white liberals’ identity politics is all so confusing, no?…
I prefer “bullshit artists.”
I come from Oklahoma and my experience has been: 1. The majority of the white native Oklahomans I’ve known claim to have at least some Indian blood. 2. They make a much bigger deal about it than the full bloods. 3. Full bloods don’t object to being called Indians.
Why not raise a glass to the Mickey, Minnie, Tinker Bell and the people of Wakanda.
We have ENOUGH holidays already! I’m calling for no holiday days. From now on all days not already used up shall be called Do Da Days
Renaming Columbus Day Indigenous Peoples Day so darn PC its stupid
“The ‘Native Americans’? They may have been native to Siberia before their ancestors crossed the Bering land bridge.”
Yes.
Those people were probably mostly children of Shem. Perhaps some children of Ham and Japheth as well.
The journey east from Babel may not have been as far as is usually thought, if land was divided then as was the language and most likely racial features*, too.
Genesis 10:5,25 “By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
“And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.”

You can bet, tribal people who conquered other tribal people kept them as slaves and the prettiest women were to bred and to have fun sex with – became a queen in the conquering tribe and they became the new indigenous tribe of the island or territory.
I had the unique pleasure and fascination to travel to Taiwan for 10 consecutive years for one of my businesses.
My business partner/friend there arranged tours. I was all over the island. One trip we went to a mountain top where it was touristy but it was also one of Taiwan indigenous peoples that they call Aboriginal – same meaning. Gee, prior to my life, I thought Aboriginal were a tribe in Australia but it just means indigenous.
They spoke multiple languages. Their own, Taiwan Mandarin dialect and smatterings of English and who knows what because once you are bilingual or trilingual, learning languages is appropriated in your mental skills,
They do not look Asian at all, They look more Filipino if you will, and with darker skin. But the thing that struck me the most is their designs on their ancestral canoes and apparel look identical to the indigenous tribes from Alaska to Oregon. The premise that some of our American Indigenous came from Asia has some firm foundations to me. Others came from other parts of the world. Some could share the DNA of Pakistanis. One thing is face, there was once waterways in North America that have dried up and clear ancient Hebrew is carved into the walls. The name YAH or YHVH appears. Other pictographs are right here in USA. Surmising this, humans cannot sit still. We are curious. We invent. We built boats and navigated across the oceans. We travelled by foot. Settled and future generations travelled and found North America to be a great place to settle.
On that tiny island of Taiwan, here is what google search names as Taiwan’s indigenous: Amis, Atayal, Paiwan, Bunun, Puyuma, Rukai, Tsou, Saisiyat, Yami, Thao, Kavalan, Truku, Sakizaya, Sediq, Hla’alua and Kanakanavu

My experience with one indigenous peoples or nation was the Lakota from the Pine Ridge res in South Dakota. A medicine man chief, Longwalker had a vision and came to California and created 4 directions. He was also an artist and it meant 4 races, yellow, brown, white, black. By divine grace and order I met this gentleman who was to become my teacher for 4 years. I was invited to the sacred sweat lodge that no non-Lakota had been so certainly a non American Indian would be invited was rare. My mind was blown open. My consciousness expanded. No there was no peyote involved. What I saw, what I experienced what I learned is the vast facets of reality we live in. Once one’s mind is open to this, it can never be closed off again. This was 1980-1984. And I am still learning from over 40 years ago experience. The ceremony was never written down. It was taught generation after generation. My first sweat lodge called ‘inipi’ I went back 5,000 years. Literally I could see this is the same ceremony as 5,000 years ago and I was back 5,000 years ago. The medicine man had total control of the events in the inipi. What we saw individually is what we needed to learn!
One more thing, this medicine man, Longwalker (search on Youtube for Longwalker) was a chi master.
Which makes me believe chi is not just a Chinese practice, but either they brought the practice of chi with them crossing the Bering Straights or it occurred to them simultaneously thousands of years ago.
Decades have passed but the learning and awareness continues! Thank YHVH!!!!
Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness,
Who was God talking to? HIS Co-Creators. They made us in Their image.
I think one of the first things people see when their human body die are the Co-Creators, They look like us because they made us to look like them.
So there is no racism in Paradise and after Judgement, no racism.
The wicked on earth who are cast to hell when they die awaiting judgement, they won’t get any open consciousness and doubt they will make it past Judgement. Who wants those who could not keep it together and murdered in cold blood genocide or lay in wait and other transgressions that YHVH warns us about in the Old Testament and Yeshua Messiah reiterated when he taught as a mortal human.
Yes, those Lakota inipis opened my mind to think outside of our cultural parameters. Now that isn’t easy, it isn’t exactly social either when you think differently than the vox populi.
I am at a time in my human experience that I’m digging it and I am better for it, stronger for it, healthier for it and wealthier for it.
BTW,,,The inipi is originally warrior training and here’s another tidbit that hopefully will balance the consciousness, Lakota women go into the inipi first to purify it, then the men go in!
So dudes, if you were never taught, mentored or shown by example how to treat women, know women have powers you can tap into and utilize as women know men just need a woman to tell about the hunt, and how they brought down the big game to feed many families and protected the village from intruders – and that powerful relationship will blow open Heaven and YHVH will shine on you family!
And in India, I was told while staying with a low middle class family in Bombay that the wife and mother is the Goddess of the Home.
Let’s make this our cultural appropriation!
Let’s see, before the Anglo-Saxons were the Romans, before the Romans in England were the Celts. Plus lots of others I can’t remember much about that I read about.
I saw an Anglo-Saxon helmet recently. Scariest helmet I ever saw. No wonder they conquered.
The Picts were there before the Celts. Almost nothing is known about them apparently. And who knows who the Druids were, or even if they were an ethnicity. They might have been Picts and probably were. The Jutes were there before the Romans, too. I don’t remember the order the Angles, Saxons and Jutes came in.
Cannibals are always indigenous.
They see people as either digested, or undigested.
Great reminder by D. Greenfield. I’ve tried to say something like this in conversations from time to time, but somehow my thinking became muddled (I guess my mother was right about me — she was never that impressed by my many A’s in school). THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS INDIGENOUS PEOPLES. Lord help me remember this simple sentence!!
Years ago when travelling through the Southwest we learned that certain Indians given credit for achievements there had canabalized the locals and used their fireplaces for a toilet.
I don’t glory in any cruelty done by my ancestors in settling this nation, but for goodness’ sakes, we need to get some perspective. A lot of Indians weren’t nice. My husband’s family has a written history of hiding from marauding Indians who burned their cabin and brutally murdered the ones they could find in NY in the 1600s.
Good point about the Ainu in Japan, who live in Hokkaido to the north. The Okinawans in the south consider themselves most closely related to the Ainu, and to this day still have some disdain for the “homogenous” Yamato people in Japan mainland, whom they derogatorily call “Nishin”- people from the west. The Yamato moved into Japan sometime around the 1st century BC and displaced the “indigenous” people. The Basque in Spain may have replaced nobody but Neanderthals, does that count?
I live in the middle of the Cherokee Nation.
You don’t have any idea what you’re ranking about.
ranking = talking
Thanks a lot, autocucumber.
I grew up in Cherokee country and my husband grew up less than 5 miles from a Cherokee reservation. Greenfield is spot on.
To my simple mind, the indigenous are simply the people your people have displaced or absorbed. Who they displaced is irrelevant, unless you want to attach some morality to it. In that case then, the indigenous are being punished for their invasion, as you can expect to be punished for “yours”.
