That’s brutal, but that’s how it used to be. People refer to the tribes nowadays as being slavers. And it’s true.

Only tribal members are allowed on the island unless you have an invitation.

Yeah, I was shown the burial site. It is a sacred place.

Portage island was bought back from the government, and it is now reservation. I’ve toured the island and it’s a beautiful place with lots of history. You can find “way” trees, where they are pointed purposefully to show you the way. My friends family was one of the last families to live on portage island before being forcibly removed by the government.

Thank you for this response, it generalizes how I feel about this as a native.

This person doesn’t understand why history is important to remember. That’s a problem.

You’re really that butt hurt over facts. Where in my essay does it say anything about reparations. I just want people to know about this

It doesn’t matter, I walked on the land and seen all of them are white. That’s what the truth is.
