I completely agree with the sentiment of your post, but the government is not an entity that can break or even make promises, it is the people that americans elect into the government who make these decisions.

DACA would not even be a discussion if americans voted for the only sane person(woman) running in 2016

People all over the world have been conquered through out history. I don't see how what you are promoting helps

It's infuriating and embarrassing. One of my best friends has a fairly large percentage of native american blood in his ancestry. He rose through the ranks of the company he worked for and got more conservative as he did. He's nearing retirement and is now embracing his heritage and it's causing him some cognitive dissonance with his corporate side. He suggested I read
"An Indigenous People's History of the United States: Revisioning American History" and it was painful. It just made me angry. I'd recommend it if you want to find out what was left out in your American history books.

Yet....the American government is blazing around the world, "trying" to help other regions' "peace" processes.....I got to think that those participants see right through their bullshit. They seem willing enough to accept the USA Taxpayers' money and weaponry though

Men in politics = hypocrisy
Let's get some more women in the govt and you may see some things change.

Add Puerto Rico to the list of abused souls.

Just the European diseases wiped out millions.
The Native American tribes waged constant war on each other, but it was for horses, status, hunting ground access, to acquire children to adopt to replace ones that were killed, etc.

The Native Americans were unable to grasp the concept of genocide, ownership of land, that someone would promote the destruction of trees, wildlife, pollution of rivers, etc., so made treaties with white men to acquire guns, metal weapons and tools, and, they thought, help with subduing their enemies.

The US government killed many of my distant relatives outright in the Trail of Tears, treaty violations, etc, since I have Native American on both sides of my family, three and six generations back.

I still look Cherokee enough to be regularly invited to pow-wows.

About the same way i feel about drumpy and DACA....sad & mad!

Very very angry. I'm not a native American but they were so mistreated by the government and white people, I have an especially deep hatred for Andrew Jackson and what he did to the native Americans.
P.S. I am of Irish and Slovak descent.

I am not sure I make a direct connect between these two issues beyond not fulfilling promises. I am still appalled about what happened with the pipeline issue last year especially with the recent leak

Totally, disgusted...I have felt that way for years! And, I feel the same way about DACA!

Depressed and aggravated, yet again, for my nation's arrogance and selfishness.

it's fucking disgraceful. where is there American dream? and like many countries with horrible pasts its all accidentally left out of the history books etc.

Much the way I feel about every war they have fomented or used for their monetary gain...what goes around comes around.

Ashamed.

While I don't really have a proverbial dog in this fight, it still ticks me off. If we as individuals are held to the standards of honoring our promises and debts, what does it say about us when we ignore them while we're in a group?

The American Indians way of life was bound to come to an end eventually. I’m certainly not proud of the fact that we repeatedly broke treaties while we were doing away with their way of life but I definitely don’t think we should be paying them today for something that happened long ago.

embarrassed and ashamed.it is still happening

We've pretty much gone back on every promise since the beginning of this country. The Original Americans continue to be lied to, disregarded, and screwed over. America has been a country of the rich white males, by the rich white males, and for the rich white males since the first boat landed. My ancestors should have put up a wall.

Treatment of indigenous peoples is an embarrassing thing to free thinking humans

Embarrassment and shame. I didn't do it, but it was done in my name. I support reparations and apologies.

Redneck assholes.

Unsurprised.

I'm not happy with anything relative to what we do around the world to this nature in our names! Unfortunately, Native Americans didn't help their cause much as they collaborated with the Europeans against each other in many instances to gain favoritism. Always leading to betrayals. Sadly, this means to control society, land, and resources never ends even with centuries of its engagement forced onto us. The world is blindly engulfed in it even today.

They suck, there was just a Facebook post showing them shooting the protesters and hosing them down in freezing temperatures from November or december.
