An unpublished point of view

Sunday 4/6/25

🪶 Good morning, Love💗 How is your day?

🪶 I am moving slow… got lost for 1.5 hours in emails😏. Time to get rolling!

🪶 Yesterday B and I played tourist and visited the First Americans Museum in downtown Oklahoma City. It’s the story of 39 tribal nations located in the State. Unique in that it is presented from their point of view!

🪶 It completely surprised me to read that before the Europeans came, there were over 18 million native inhabitants in North America. Colonization’s intentional disease and war brought that number down to less than one million by 1800.

🪶 I had always thought that the treatment of the American Indian was kind of like what was done with Indigenous people across the world. NOT TRUE 🤬 It… was…worse… “…than any other nation on Earth against its Indigenous people.”🤯 I can find no words😢

🪶 We next went to Tucker’s for an Onion Burger. Their sautéed onions, thin bun and 100% Premium Creekside Farms Black Angus Beef made for one very delicious burger!! Crispy French Fries were yummy too! And I found their presentations unique as well 🥰

🪶 Danny sent me another video of Äri. She didn’t much like the raw leafy greens. But look at her take after that meat! A girl after my own heart!

🪶 The quote about watching for wonders of the world seemed to fit today’s theme pretty good!

🪶 So…. Time to send this off! I hope you are doing well. I hope, too, that WE get good sleep😴 tonight.🐯Tiger, 🦁Pon, 🧸Äri, 🐢Buddy, 🐘Connie, 🐈Missy, 🐈‍⬛ Hissy and 😇 I send loves 🫶and 🤗hugs🤗

I did not know that tribes were moved out of California… Once again, I am struck by how little I really know about our American heritage 😢
