When Native Americans Are Told To 'Go Back' To Where They Came From
Lori Metoxen, 52, works as an administrator at Oneida Behavioral Health in Green Bay, Wisconsin, a treatment center for indigenous people suffering from addiction and mental illness. Metoxen says one beautiful summer day in 2017 she drove home from work with the windows down, the sunroof open, and her Oneida Nation license plate, available only to members of the tribe, proudly displayed on the back of her car. When she stopped at a traffic light in the part of western Green Bay that belongs to the Oneida Nation reservation, she noticed a car full of white, teenage girls in the lane beside hers.
“Go back to Mexico, you scumbag sack of shit!” one of the girls yelled at Metoxen.

One of many important, famous and intelligent Native Americans was Ely Parker of the Seneca Nation. He wrote a very important document which, once signed, ended a war. One of the principle signatories, upon shaking his hand said, "'I am glad to see one real American here." That man was Robert E. Lee. Parker replied, "We are all Americans."
The last group of people not allowed to vote in the US were Native Americans. States continued making it difficult of impossible for Native Americans to vote even after they were recognized as citizens. The last Native American group to finally be allowed to vote was a group in Utah in 1954. That's just sick.
