Remove Jackson's Home from the Trail Of Tears Petition

 

To:  U.S.Congress

We , The decendants of the Native Peoples of the South Eastern United
States,and all people of like morals ,find your inclusion of Jackson's
Hermitage Home into the "National Trail of Tears" any thing but honorable to
the aforementioned People. Your statement that this is your way to honor the
genocidal removal of our People, is offensive, disrespectful, and a blatant
slap in the face to ALL the "Original" inhabitants of this land, America
,that you now call yours. We insist that you remove the idea, content, and
any other reference of this Man, unless it is to publicly tell the truth
about his role in the systematic genocide of our People. The only thing that
would Honor our Ancestors in a small way, would be for the United States
Government to Publicly apologize to ALL Native Peoples for their ill-written
history of genocide on Turtle Island, and their involvement, and denial
thereof. At best, we would hope that this Congress would begin the healing
that is long overdue, by not incorporating any reference to Jackson, who had
more to do with the very source of the events that caused this tragedy of
humanity to be called The "Trail Of Tears", in the first place. Many Men,
Women, and Children died as a result of his direct involvement, broken
promises, and broken Treaties as a representative of this Government....This
is akin to Honoring Adolf Hitler at a WWII Holocaust
Memorial........Please.....

Sincerely,

The Undersigned <
