The U.S. government has never kept a single promise to Native Americans. From the first smallpox-infected blanket to the latest oil pipeline, it’s been lies, land theft, genocide, and gaslighting. The whole American project is built on broken treaties.

The U.S. signed over 370 treaties with Native nations. Every single one was broken, torn up, or renegotiated under threat.

Promise something to keep Natives quiet for a few years, then break that promise the second there’s profit to be made or land to grab.
