Rep. Deb Haaland (D-NM) said on Tuesday at her confirmation hearing to be secretary of the Department of the Interior (DOI) that she had to “acknowledge” that Capitol Hill, which includes the U.S. Capitol and House and Senate office buildings, is on land belonging to Native Americans.
“I wouldn’t be here without the love and support of my child Somah, partner Skip, my mom Mary Toya, my extended family, and generations of ancestors who sacrificed so much so I could be here today,” Haaland said in her opening statement before the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. “I acknowledge that we are on the ancestral homelands of the Nacotchtank, Anacostan, and Piscataway people.”
It’s disrespectful to airheads to describe the Interior nominee as one, but it’s accurate.
By her rationale the entire country, save Hawaii and perhaps Alaska, was the ‘property’ of one tribe or another of the Indians. That being the case, her acceptance of the nomination for Interior is a shameful act that perpetuates the crime. That’s probably a bit too abstract for her or Biteme to comprehend.
WTH…. lol
Get over it, lady. You don’t hear anyone in South or Central America whining
about the demise of the Incas or Aztecs at the hands of Spain. Stop with the
guilt tripping.
good then kick all the politicians lobbyists and ghetto dwellers off that land and give it back to ?
