Rights Of Native Americans: Please 'Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee'!

US presidential elections, campaigns, speeches and debates had a presidential hopeful and candidate Bernie Sanders advocate granting overdue rights denied but deserved: in favour of Native Americans (NAs)! MILLIONS of NAs -- fighting against gun totting "White Lies" as those foreign intruders were so called by original Americans -- saw No Mercy while getting massacred as they could not defend themselves properly with bows and arrows or sticks and stones.

Bernie supports the right of Native American tribes to self-govern and have sovereign jurisdiction over their lands. He also supports directly acknowledging America's continuing history of mistreatment and racism against Native Americans and wants to actively promote further measures to achieve justice for these "Red Indians"!
