NATIVE AMERICAN WISE QUOTES




                           Native Americans all over the continent of America were smart people. They knew a lot about Mathematics and Astronomy. But, above all, they were wise people. 

                           Their lands were colonized by Europeans: Spaniards, Portuguese, French and English.  They were abused, hurt and killed by the European colonizers.

                           Here we are some of their quotes:

TRANSLATION INTO GALICIAN

                           Os nativos americanos de todo o continente eran xente intelixente. Sabían un montón de matemáticas e astronomía. Pero, o máis importante é que eran xente sabia.

                            As súas terras foron colonizadas por europeos: españois, portugueses, franceses e ingleses; e eles sufriron de abusos, foron feridos e asasinados...

                            Aquí, están algunhas das súas citas:





"When they came, they had the Bible, and we had the land. And they said to us: 'Close your eyes and pray'
              When we opened our eyes, we had the Bible, and they had the land."
