“There’s Nothing Saintly About the Atrocities”

I am standing with you Chief and also with every Mexican and Native American Ancestor that was brutalized by this monster!

As you know the information on my blogs did not come from me but from my ancestors I do admit I was a pain child pestering every day of their lives.

The header on this post reminds me of some stories told by my elders.

The first people to visit were the Vikings, as far as our records go they were friendly, married into tribes up and down what is now called a border and some of them were adopted into tribes and as the grave in Iceland shows, some of our woman returned to their land with them.

It was not the same with the Dutch and then the Spanish, the Dutch were quickly chased off by our tribes with the help of the French, the Spanish were also chased off by our tribes because they tried to enslave our people.

The French settled and build their own forts then came the British and their wars.

The English were not so friendly and as we all know pushed us out and/or stole our land however, like the French they built their own forts, towns, cities and states.

The reason for the above quick trip through history is to show why I am so angry with the popes move and his “Christian followers” statement while endearing a brutal person no matter which part of Indian country this article is about!

These 21 not 9 missionaries were not build by union labor and their wages, they were all build with sweat and blood on the backs of poor defenseless people of the land and this “God loving Beast” did not belong there, who or what is this god that this priest worshipped?

Native American Chief Blasts Decision to Canonize Junipero Serra

He (the Catholic Pope) will make the move in September, during a scheduled visit to the United States.

He (Serra) is one of those pioneers studied in California history and history has a way of telling the truth through the eyes of the conquerors sword!

Father Junipero Serra founded nine (21) missions, and now the pope wants to make the father a saint.

Father Junipero Serra

“On all the 21 missions along the coast people were enslaved, they were beaten, they were tortured, and their women were raped by these Christians, the towns people and the government.

It was forced labor and a forced religion,” Morales said. “There’s nothing saintly about the… atrocities on our culture, on our people.”

Father Serra himself justified the beating of Native Americans, writing in 1780:

“That spiritual fathers should punish their sons, the Indians, with blows appears to be as old as the conquest of the Americas;

so general in fact that the saints do not seem to be any exception to the rule.”
