    The Silent Holocaust

    You probably have not heard of the Holocaust that did not take place in Germany and did not involve Jewish people. That is why it is called the silent Holocaust. In the 1970s, the Guatemalan military began a genocidal campaign of mass killings and disappearances of the indigenous Ixil Maya population. In 1982, they employed a scorched earth campaign. Soldiers hunted down leftist guerrillas and systematically killed the Ixil Maya. Most of them were not part of guerrilla movements. They were teachers, farmers, students, and civilians. Women, children, and the elderly were targeted. The military carried out at least 626 massacres against the indigenous population. They destroyed more than 600 villages and killed most inhabitants. In 1977, the human rights situation in Guatemala was so bad that U.S. President Jimmy Carter stopped military aid. Can you guess which country kept supporting them? Israel supported the brutal army. Israel began selling weapons in 1974. By 1983, there were 300 Israeli advisors in the country. They were embedded in security structures. Israeli advisers helped hunt underground rebel groups. An Israeli computer became the nerve center of the armed forces. The military forced the Ixil Maya into restricted model villages modeled after Israeli kibbutzim. Guatemalan military officers even referred to their campaign as the Palestinization of the Ixil Maya. Some responsible leaders were later convicted of genocide. The judge noted that the Ixil Maya were victims of racism. If you want to learn more about Indigenous History, join our growing Substack community. This is a public episode.

    America Inspired the Nazis

    This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit quietcanines.substack.com Did you know that Adolf Hitler got his inspiration from America? Hitler was obsessed with Manifest Destiny and the conquest of the American West. He saw Eastern Europe as Germany’s version of the West and viewed the Volga River as his Mississippi River. He looked at how the U.S. government cleared millions of Indigenous peoples off their ancestral lands through mass slaughter and forced displacement. He used that exact blueprint for expansion into Europe. He noted in his journals that Slavic and Jewish populations should be treated like “Redskins”.

    The Talking Leaves of the Cherokee

    This Indigenous man is the only person in history to create a system of writing from scratch by himself. What makes this even more remarkable, is that he invented it without knowing how to read or write. The man’s name was Sequoyah. And the year was 1809. At that time, the 300 diverse languages spoken by Native Americans did not have a written form. Sequoyah had seen white soldiers reading from what he called “talking leaves.” And he was determined to find a way for the Cherokee Nation to do the same. He worked so obsessively that his neighbours thought he was practising witchcraft, and his wife grew so frustrated that she burned some of his papers. But in 1821, he finished the creation of his writing system and successfully taught his first pupil: his daughter, Ahyokah, who was six years of age. It was called the Tsalagi syllabary. Once a Cherokee speaker learned the 85 syllabics, they could immediately read and write, because the symbols corresponded exactly to the sound of the spoken words. With English you need to learn the alphabet of 26 characters, then learn to put those sounds together to form syllables and words. Within three to five years of its introduction, 90 % of the Cherokee Nation could read and write which was a much higher literacy rate than the white settlers of America. The news that an illiterate Cherokee had created something so impressive spread around the world. It also inspired other indigenous groups across Canada to do the same. Pretty impressive for an illiterate Cherokee man in the 1800’s. If you want to learn more about Indigenous History, join our growing Substack community.

    Pete Hegseth’s Imaginary Holy War

    The recent news about Pete Hegseth shows how history repeats itself. Hegseth wanted to livestream a military execution. He viewed this public cruelty as a righteous act. This is the exact mindset of a Christian Nationalist. But history shows that public brutality never creates peace. It only guarantees a massive backlash. We can see this clearly by looking at New Mexico in 1680. Spanish colonizers invaded the region in 1598 under Juan de Oñate. They established control through absolute terror. They mutilated resistance fighters and forced the population into slavery. Catholic missionaries and Spanish governors whipped the Pueblo people for decades. They banned native spiritual practices. The tipping point arrived when a Spanish governor publicly executed and whipped several Pueblo medicine men. This public cruelty backfired immediately. Pueblo warriors marched on the palace and forced the governor to release the remaining prisoners. One of those prisoners was a leader named Po’Pay. He spent five years organizing a coordinated response. On August 10, 1680, the Pueblo people rose up together. They destroyed the Spanish missions and drove the colonizers out of their homeland entirely. Spanish rulers thought public violence would force compliance. Modern extremists still make the same mistake. Public execution does not project strength. It reveals the panic of an empire that is losing control.

    The White House Columbus Cover Up

    The White House created a website celebrating Christopher Columbus. Here is the truth they are hiding from you. On October 12 1492 Columbus landed on Guanahani. He did not discover anything. Up to 125000 Lucayan Taino people already lived there. Their ancestors called that land home for a thousand years. Columbus was not even the first European here because Leif Eriksson beat him by five centuries. Columbus called the locals Indians due to a massive geographical error. He believed he reached Asia and went to his grave never admitting his mistake. Still the Spanish Crown made him Governor of the Indies. His rule was a nightmare. By 1500 Spanish colonists and priests sent desperate complaints to Spain detailing his tyranny. The monarchs sent royal judge Francisco de Bobadilla to investigate. Bobadilla uncovered widespread atrocities and systemic torture. Columbus used public executions to terrorize his own people. He cut off noses and ears of colonists and sold people into slavery. The Taino people faced far worse. Columbus shipped thousands of Indigenous people to Spain to be sold as slaves. Vast numbers died on the ocean journey. Those left behind faced forced labor in gold mines. He ordered the dismembered bodies of Native Americans paraded through streets to terrify survivors. Bobadilla was so outraged that he arrested Columbus and locked him in chains. Columbus returned to Spain as a prisoner.

    White House Launches Christopher Columbus Website

    The White House just launched a new website about Christopher Columbus. Whoever created it plagiarized century old propaganda to erase history. In 1893 the United States hosted a massive Worlds Fair in Chicago. To impress Europe leaders needed a grand founding myth. They chose Columbus as the ultimate symbol of progress. They built grand white palaces to celebrate white civilization. At the exact same time they put Indigenous peoples in cages as living exhibits. This deliberate brainwashing forced citizens to link Columbus with the future and Native people with extinction. They even created the Pledge of Allegiance to build aggressive nationalism. Today the White House website copies this exact propaganda. It treats Native history as an invisible footnote to real American history. This is a dangerous return to Gilded Age nationalism. It relies on a sanitized myth to demand blind obedience. But we can fight back just like heroes did in 1893. Activists like Simon Pokagon Ida B Wells and Frederick Douglass exposed the brutal truth. True patriots face reality and work to make the nation better. We can expose them by sharing the truth. In my next video I’ll tell you about the real Christopher Columbus. The stuff the White House doesn’t want you to know. If you want to learn more about indigenous history, join our growing Substack Community. We are still accepting new members to our Tribe.

    White House Launches Christopher Columbus Website

    Who Were the Real Savages?

    Did you know that in 1578, Martin Frobisher held the first recorded Thanksgiving in Canada? There are many stories celebrating European explorers, like Christopher Columbus and Frobisher, who travelled west across the Atlantic to discover America. But there were also thousands of Indigenous Americans who travelled in the opposite direction and discovered Europe. In 1576, Martin Frobisher, an English privateer who was previously a pirate, was searching for a north west passage to the Pacific. He kidnapped an Inuk man from Baffin Island. During the struggle, the man bit his tongue in half. He was brought to England and shown off as a novelty. He died two weeks later. This was one of the earliest Indigenous Americans in Britain. In 1577, Frobisher returned to Inuit territory. Arriving at what is now Nunavut, he tried to kidnap more men. The men fled and shot Frobisher in the ass with an arrow. But another crew member tackled one of the men, breaking his ribs in the process. Then Frobisher’s men got into a battle with the other inhabitants. Three Inuit killed themselves by jumping off the rocks into the ocean because they didn’t want to be taken prisoner. They thought the English were cannibals. Frobisher’s men captured a woman and her baby who had been injured by an arrow. They sailed back to England, arriving in October 1577, and became a spectacle. The man was called Kalicho, and the woman and her baby were Arnaq and Nutaaq. Kalicho became a celebrity, paddling up and down the river in his canoe and hunting ducks with his dart. Less than a month later, Kalicho died. His autopsy showed broken ribs and a brain injury likely caused by his rough capture. Arnaq had contracted measles and died three days after Kalicho was buried. Nutaaq was 14 or 15 months old and still nursing when Arnaq died. He was made a spectacle for curious Londoners, even though he also had the measles. Only 8 days after arriving in London, Nutaaq died. Instead of celebrating men like Columbus and Frobisher, let’s think about the Indigenous people who were already here for thousands of years when they arrived. You can read about them in Caroline Dodds Pennock’s book, On Savage Shores: How Indigenous Americans Discovered Europe.

    The Space Metal Pioneers

    Twelve hundred years ago in the High Arctic, the Inuit mastered spaceborne technology by hand. All over the world, human history followed similar paths. The Stone Age featured the earliest stone tools. Then people built hot furnaces to melt copper and tin into bronze. Finally came iron, which required intense fire to extract metal from rock. Each step required wood or coal to burn. In the Arctic, trees do not grow and coal was buried deep underground. For thousands of years, the Inuit used bone, driftwood, and rock to survive. Then the Dorset culture began making iron tools, skipping the Bronze Age entirely. They discovered a meteorite that fell ten thousand years ago in Northern Greenland. The meteorite was made of an iron and nickel alloy. Nickel makes metal tough and resistant to corrosion. This gave them a massive advantage when hunting in freezing seawater. They travelled fifty kilometres to find volcanic basalt stones to use as hammers. The craftspeople carved thin slots into walrus ivory handles and fitted the overlapping metallic flakes side by side inside the grooves. As wet sinew wrapped around the handle dried and shrank, it locked the blades permanently in place. Archaeologists have tracked this Cape York meteoritic iron thousands of miles away across the Canadian Arctic. It shows how humans everywhere take advantage of available resources, and sometimes those resources are delivered from outer space.
