BLACK TEARS FOR RED TEARS:
As the weary, distraught, tired and
sweaty band o f Indians marched
through the Washington ghetto on
the way to the White House, the
watching Blacks must have shared
the pain and hurt in their red faces.
They must have sensed the plain
desperation in their irregular stride
and the grim determination to keep
the Great W hite Fathers >■
Washington from passing legislation
to cut o ff Indian survival; ending all
treaties with the Indians and closing
down already despicable reser
vations
W het her the Blacks knew it or not;
their own ancestors had been
critically involved with the red man
for three hundred years. Like the
marching Indians, Blacks have
problems with the same proposed
sites of the Indian demonstrations:
The Supreme Court, The Congress
and the White House.
Today the total population of
American Indians is not more than a
million The rolling hills, the well
supplied streams, the lush forests
and the plentiful game are gone The
earth they so deeply respected (they
prayed and apologized when they
made the slightest necessary hole in
it) has been dynamited, bull-dozed,
d rilled, paved and burned. The
reservations they bve on are barren,
unsanitary, ill-equipped for living
schooless and foodless. They were
like scary monuments to the white
man's lasting bitterness and hatred .
. . his vengeance.
This showed in the faces of the
men, women and children who
inarched And the march is highly
symbolical; it is the beginning and
the end of a highly effective and
vigorous move toward Indian
reunification . . . the type of struggle
Blacks have known for more than a
hundred years.
Blacks
must,
indeed,
feel
sympathetic Because up until 160
years ago their ancestors were taken
from rich fertile lands, their
sustaining herds, streams of fishes,
and their thousand year old cultures.
These Black slaves missed their land
as they were inarched through the
odd, new and strange smelling
American country side. Their faces,
too, earned the pain and the hurt.
Little has been revealed about the
positive inter-relationships between
Blacks and Indians over the four
hundred years they have been in
America together. Not to mention
the Black explorers with the Spanish
and Blacks w ho were here hundreds
of years before Columbus There
were tribes which were especially
friendly like the Choctaws and
branches o f the Cherokee and
others; who took in escaped Black
slaves and protected them from
slavecatchers and bounty hunters.
There were slaveholding Indians who
freed their Blacks when Lincoln
announced
his
Em ancipation
Proclamation They were made full
members of the tribes. Vast tracts of
lands owned by Blacks past and
present » part of this heritage Free
Blacks moved among Indian tnhes
and some became chiefs and elders
The Seminóles of Florida was an
exceptional case. They welcomed
runaway Blacks from Georgia and
C arolina plantations during the
sixteen and seventeen hundreds.
They welcomed the Blacks’ skill at
farming and cattieraising; much of
which had been brought from
Africa. One of the most promising
cooperatives in
the Western
Hemisphere was underway until
General
Andrew
Jackson,
responding io Georgians' demand
for recaptured slaves and the desire
for the rich Florida lands, waged
war.

Donald E. McCoy, associated with
the North Portland Animal Clinic.
P.C.. 2009 North Killingsworth, has
been named an Area Director of the
Am erican
A n im al
H o sp ital
Association (A A H A )
Headquartered in South Bend, In
diana, the Am erican A n im al
Hospital Association has over 8,500
veterinary members The core of this
membership is the nearly 1,200
Member Hospitals that have 3,000
veterinarians as directors, co

remaining 5,500 belong to any one of
six

The primary objectives o f the
Am erican
A nim al
H ospital

Blacks should feel a tinge of guilt
because they are significant in all
levels of government and can raise a
voice fo r the red man. It is
unbelieveable that less than ten years
ago, U .S. broke a treaty with the
Seneca Indians of New York. And, if
anybody should know about the hurt
of broken promises. Blacks should.
The Indians march on Washing
ton is a reminder of the past Ameri
ca cannot forget . . . nor should be
allowed to. For Blacks, the kinship
of hurt and suffering should urge 25
million Black hands to reach out and
touch one million red hands.
In a blundering 1836 Vietnam W ar
of its day, twenty million dollars and
fifteen thousand troops could not
outfight two thousand Blacks and

which would never be allowed in any

Blacks should feel somewhat
ashamed because the 9th and 10th

awesome battles against the Indians.
From the Texas panhandle up
through the Dakotas and out
through the Oregon Trail, they met
and mostly outfought the Indians.
