Native Americans watching Americans fight each other during the Civil War

Hey guys, I need a bit of an emergency fund. On the way to California this weekend, me and my seven friends were in a four vehicle car accident. On the way back, our remaining car broke down just after we crossed state lines. If you can support us at all, the amount raised will be split between everyone who was road trip. Though we are all okay, we still need to go to doctors and get repairs to our cars. I also just lost my job a couple days before leaving, so this puts me in a really tight spot. If you guys could share or donate, I would really appreciate it! All I can do is send you a personalized message or a shout out or a follow back, but please know I would be so eternally greatful.

There was a “Bowling Green massacre” — in 1643, white settlers slaughtered 110 Native Americans

Last week on MSNBC, Kellyanne Conway invented a massacre that never happened in Bowling Green, Kentucky. 

But here’s one that’s real: In 1643, white settlers massacred 30 indigenous people in what is now Bowling Green Park, one of the oldest sections of New York City, Indian Country Media Network reported.

Back then, New York City was known as New Amsterdam and was a struggling colonial outpost under Dutch rule. 

The then-governor of New Netherlands, Willem Kieft, sent groups of European soldiers to an area at the tip of Manhattan island, which was then home to Lenape tribe. 

The soldiers killed 80 members of the tribe in what is now Pavonia, New Jersey, and massacred another 30 in Manhattan. Read more
