When a number of Irish left our shores and went to America during and after the famine their subsequent treatment of the First Nation/American Indian was shameful. A number of Irish joined the United States army and joined in the ethnic cleansing of the Indian in order to claim their lands. It is a time in our history that really does us no credit whatsoever. As you say, we learned nothing and are as uncaring now as we were then and in the right circumstances human nature being what it is I have no doubt it would be done all over again. However, there is hope as young people like yourself may learn from the past and change attitudes that seem to be still prevalent in the Ireland of today. I speak of racism, discrimination, and intolerance towards those who are different. There is hope :) Hope by name and Hope by nature. Keep smiling.<br /><br />Thank you and keep up your studies.<br /><br />SilentOwl.SilentOwlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840406804609589655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653272143829268711.post-4629842900677766472015-03-25T10:35:57.008-07:002015-03-25T10:35:57.008-07:00I am learning about the Great Famine in history an...I am learning about the Great Famine in history and after reading Apache by Tanya Landman I became interested in the Native American Indians. We read some Chief Seattle quotes in my CSPE class and now this made me realise just how kind and caring the American Indians were and how uncaring we are now.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01469500200007983380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4653272143829268711.post-87602630492158823472013-09-24T11:35:47.241-07:002013-09-24T11:35:47.241-07:00Thank you.
