Why Protect Native American Sacred Sites? After all during the period of the New World the Native American Population was reduced from disease ad war. Well after taking the land and almost killing the Native Americans We should protect part of their history. An example of what governemnt is doing to protect Native Americans is :

Perhaps the USA, Canadian, Mexican and Latin American governments could consider something that happened here in Australia recently.

The new Australian Federal Government of Prime Minister Kevin Rudd led a “Sorry day” for the treatment by past governments of our nation’s indigenous people.

The apology was mainly to those aboriginal people who were taken from their parents as a policy of assimilation and subtle genocide during the 20th century, but also made mention of the disposession of the original inhabitants since white colonisation from 1788.

From now on all Australian parliaments will open with an aboriginal “welcome to country” ceremony.

The formal apology struggled to get 50% approval in polls during the right wing govt of John Howard, but once it was done over 75% of people said it was the right thing and many have said how it has given this nation a sense of healing at its heart and true linkage to the land.
