Let the Native Americans Build the Wall, Not the Europeans Who Stole the Land


It should have been the Indigenous peoples of the Americas who built the wall, not the European settlers who forcibly claimed the land. The Native Americans had a profound connection to the earth, living in harmony with nature and honoring its boundaries long before colonization disrupted their way of life. Instead, history reveals a heartbreaking narrative of displacement, violence, and broken treaties, as European settlers asserted ownership over lands that were never theirs to take.

 

A wall constructed by Indigenous peoples would have represented protection and unity, grounded in their ancestral wisdom and stewardship of the environment. It would have stood as a testament to their commitment to the land and its resources, fostering a sense of community and mutual respect. In stark contrast, the walls that were ultimately erected became symbols of division and conquest, serving as painful reminders of the injustices endured by the original inhabitants of this continent. These structures reflect a legacy of exclusion and oppression, overshadowing the rich cultures that existed long before their arrival.
