The Hero "Little Turtle"
(Le héros "Petite Tortue")
In American high schools, or middle schools and elementary schools in the United States, they should teach more about Native Americans, including the hero Little Turtle.

In the Treaty of Paris (1783) which ended the American Revolutionary War, the British abandoned their native allies and signed over the land between the Appalachian Mountains and the Mississippi River to the United States. The Americans considered the region to be theirs by right of conquest, and with the creation of the Northwest Territory in 1787 they began to divide the land north of the Ohio River for settlement.
Violence escalated and Native Americans formed the Western Confederacy with the goal of keeping the Ohio River as a boundary between Indian lands and the United States. Little Turtle emerged as one of the leaders of this confederacy, which included Shawnees under Blue Jacket and Delawares under Buckongahelas. The war which followed has no generally accepted name, but was once known as "Little Turtle's War".
In 1790, the United States sent an expedition under the command of General Josiah Harmar to bring an end to the border war. Because the United States had mostly disbanded its military after the Revolution, it had few professional soldiers to send into battle, a weakness which Little Turtle and other native leaders fully exploited.
In October 1790, Little Turtle and Blue Jacket won two victories against Harmar's men. These successes encouraged previously reluctant leaders among the Ottawas and Wyandots to join the confederacy. In 1791, Little Turtle and Blue Jacket defeated another American expedition, this time led by General Arthur St. Clair. It was the worst defeat the Americans would ever suffer at the hands of American Indians with some 623 American soldiers killed in action. According to the most popular version of the story, Little Turtle was in overall command of the army that defeated St. Clair, although other accounts suggest that Blue Jacket was the preeminent native leader.[11]
A third expedition under the command of General Anthony Wayne gave Little Turtle pause; U.S. troops were of superior numbers and had just completed rigorous training. After an exploratory attack on Fort Recovery in June 1794, Little Turtle counseled negotiation rather than battle, remarking that Wayne "never sleeps." According to a widely circulated story, he ceded command to Blue Jacket, although retaining leadership of the Miami tribesmen. The confederacy, numbering around 1,000 men, was defeated at the Battle of Fallen Timbers.
This battle forced the confederacy to sign the Treaty of Greenville.

In American high schools, or middle schools and elementary schools in the United States, they should teach the Treaty of Greenville that admits that Native Americans are entities the US Government should deal with in a diplomatic manner between two sovereigns.
George Washington is said, in one theory, to have hated Native Americans but loved the vast and rich land the so-called "Indians" had occupied, which turned to be one of the major motivations of George Washington and other wealthy or greedy "white men" for independence from England.
It is not only because George Washington was a member of the Freemasons, if not anti-Christ or anti-Vatican, but also because he was just a spiritual descendant of Europeans who had immigrated to North America leaving unhappiness and misery in Europe, however, in order not to help Native Americans and convey the Gospel to them

From a religious point of view, the Gospel must have reached the New Continent America through any channels, sooner or later.
Nonetheless, I could not help but get disappointed, since emigrant Europeans did not think that they would have been punished by the God if they had treated Native Americans badly or more badly than they had been treated in Europe as poor citizens in the society mostly regulated by the authority of the Vatican.
So, the Religious Revolution in the United States expected to emerge sooner or later should also include the reattempting to preach the Gospel among Native Americans.
It is because it is said that six million or more Native Americans were killed directly or indirectly by emigrant Europeans equipped with advanced fire arms and horse power.
Holy Justice is yet to be done on the New Continent America.
(Once a little girl implied that I looked like a turtle.
Of course, her blue eyes must see something invisible as she was an infant linked with an angel, if she did not know that a turtle and a crane are two sacred living things in Japan traditionally.
Have a nice Sunday night, too, since super-duper Tuesday is coming soon!)
