Like, breaking up all these, like, lands is, like, it doesn't, you can't just give someone, like, a small patch of, like, shitty land and have them farm.

Yeah, yeah.

That was one of the main things in Canada was about getting them to adopt European farming practices, which they already knew how to get their own food, right?

They were trying to change this whole system of food growth to this European way of farming, and they were just forcing them to.

Yeah, it's...

It gets super dark and horrible once you look at the letters that were being written by the heads of these programs.

Instructing these agents who were stationed at these reservations to force people to be doing this horrible farming for all day, every day.

And I think the sign that this was like...

this is so bad that even the u.s government eventually is like wait this this like this is fucked up and doesn't work so i think that's yeah you transition to sort of like the next phase i guess yeah a very short phase um yeah so the next phase um

Well, I think this phase also... One thing I think that also is important people understand is that it's not like people aren't fighting this the whole time.

I mean, even going back to the stuff of the 7th Cavalry, the 7th Cavalry lose boars, they lose battles all the time, people are fighting constantly, and this period, the termination period, is also where you see the rise of the American Indian movement.

Could you maybe go a bit more into Land Back as a topic?

Because specifically the past five years, it has really gained a lot more popularity as a slogan.

But I think for a lot of...

A lot of people who, like, chant it and hear it don't always really know exactly what it means.

There's a lot of, like, mixed opinions on what it means.

Of course, on, like, the more, like, reactionary side, it's, like, people will be like, what?

You're going to, like, kick white people out of these areas?

Like, that's kind of, that's what a lot of, like, the reactionary takes on Land Back is.

Yeah.
