My list to try to personally establish WHAT was actually on The Americas when Europeans decided they should steal it. I learn more and more of LARGE Megalithic constructions that we are not told of. Or legends of giant men and women once living here. ( Most of these skeletons having been "acquired" by the Smithsonian, so they say, and then quickly disappearing from history. But, also I am seeking to learn of the true communities, the people, their skills, their system of governance, things like cranial deformation, trepidation, and the legends they had of their ancestors.
I find that with the "dumbing down of America", the stories get more and more simple over time. And the history is watered down to make history more palatable to the reader. After learning that George Washington had slaves, Thomas Jefferson too. Betsy Ross didn't make our first flag. Columbus never set foot in the USA. ( Despite our celebrating it every yr) The US govt KNEW about the attack on Pearl Harbor, and allowed it to happen. And many more stories like it, I began to see, that history truly IS written by the winner. And then history is told to us in a way that makes us faithful and devoted but totally uninformed/ignorant. SO, I have embarked on learning myself what I never was told in school and also learning what was told to me and as it turns out NEVER really happened!
