165 years ago today, 40 previously uncontacted Indians were massacred by six white settlers from Missouri. 165 years later, uncontacted tribes are STILL facing genocide, violence and land theft. #LetThemLive #AsbillMassacre #Genocide #OnThisDay

Anger and aggression sometimes seem to be protective because they bring energy to bear on a particular situation, but that energy is blind. It takes a calm mind to be able to consider things from different angles and points of view.
