Even in the initial stages of contact between European Christians and

Native Indian people the stage was set for ethnocentrism, and the

attitude towards the Indians was that of Christian superiority. The

Indians were read a proclamation in Spanish which they had no hope of

understanding, they had no hope of understanding the death sentence they

were being read, and it went something like this:

"We ask and require you to acknowledge the church as the ruler and

superior of the whole world and the high priest called pope and in his

name the king of Spain as lords of this land. If you submit we shall

receive you in all love and charity and shall leave you, your wives and

children and your lands free without servitude, but if you do not submit

we shall powerfully enter into your country and shall make war against

you, we shall take you and your wives and your children and shall make

slaves of them and we shall take away your goods and shall do you all

the harm and damage we can."



2000 years ago we were all tribal.

Then came the missionaries with their fucking bible.

1492 began the termination

The holocaust of our Indian nations

Yeah, with Christian love and a moral authority

They killed our medicine men and stole our country

I never claimed this shit was poetry

It's just the fucking lies of Christianity

You will pray to the lord and get down on your knees

Here's a cross for your back and the coughing disease

Though you helped us survive we will laugh while you bleed

Then deny what we did, write our own history

We will kidnap your children and cut off their hair

Silence their language and outlaw their prayers

Beat them blind until they believe

In the blood of Jesus Christ our king

Christians murdered In
