A Plea to the White Man from a Native American's Point of View

I am Falling Tree of the Navajo nation. I feel a need to address the troubles that my people have faced. The Navajo have been treated with contempt and condescension in the past. My nation has endured malicious treatment and suffered countless injustices. When the settlers moved west they infringed on our land. My people have been here for centuries. The Europeans came here and spread across the land like a pestilence that couldn't be …

…that have been inflicted upon the Navajo. The people of the Navajo nation, as well as other nations, were treated as no human being should ever be treated. The white man was blind with greed and selfishness. You not only took our land away, you drastically altered our way of life. I only hope that some agreement can be worked out so that future generations of both our people can live in peace and understanding.
