A nation founded on injustice? You bet, but not the petty squabbles of white imperialists, but on wholesale occupation of land and repression of an entire people, one which continues to this very day:

""Our children are brainwashed," said Gilbert, the tribe's land commissioner. "The children are attracted by the promise of money and the American way of life. They turn their backs on where they come from. They're so brainwashed to believe in the principles of the United States they don't challenge it. They're deeply ingrained to be a colonised person and to behave just like the good old American citizen."

Gilbert is as angry at his own people as he is with the US government and white Americans. He wants Native Americans to fight for their language, their culture and ultimately to try to overturn what he calls the colonisation: "We are prisoners living in occupied America. I really find it fascinating that you don't have real violent resistance here in the States that you do elsewhere off of colonised people. Indigenous peoples are the only ones that have this legitimate struggle to be violent against the United States because of this system of tyranny by the government against indigenous peoples, because by the laws of this land you are forced to behave in this manner."
