Every Indigenous history thread gets hijacked by the same colonizer talking point: “Quit whining—Natives were brutal too.” In this blistering mini-episode, Dr. B dissects that myth with surgical precision. He lays out the catastrophic numbers of the Great Dying, traces how papal decrees morphed into U.S. federal Indian policy, and exposes the modern legal scaffolding that keeps Native nations fighting for basic sovereignty in 2025. If you need ammo to shut down settler excuses—or a primer on why Land Back is not a “handout”—this episode is your crash course.KEY TAKEAWAYSScale Matters: Inter-tribal conflict never approached continent-wide genocide backed by biological warfare.Colonialism Is Ongoing: From ICWA court challenges to extraction projects at Oak Flat and Line 3, the machine never powered down.Gaslighting 101: “Move on” rhetoric serves the occupier, not the occupied.Ally Blueprint: Honor treaties, return land where possible, fund Native legal battles, and center Indigenous expertise on climate and culture.RESOURCE LINKSIndigenous Environmental Network — Donate / VolunteerNative American Rights Fund (NARF) — Legal defense for sovereignty casesLand Back Learning Hub — Articles & toolkits for returning landCALL TO ACTIONRate & Review this podcast—algorithms may be colonized, but we can hack them.Share the episode in your group chats; silence is complicity.Join the conversation on Instagram @7thgenpodcast and TikTok @mercilesssavagez.
