Spanish foreign minister ‘should be educated and apologize,’ says oldest American Indian NGO
Association reminds millions of native Americans were slaughtered after Josep Borrell said only “four Indians” were killed
The oldest NGO supporting native Americans, the Association on American Indian Affairs, has demanded an apology to the Spanish foreign minister after he said that only “four Indians” were killed during the process of the US independence.
The leader of the association, Shannon Keller O’Loughlin, said to the Catalan News Agency (ACN) that Josep Borrell “should be educated and apologize for his uninformed understanding of American history.”
Millions of American Indians
“Perhaps he needs a full education about the millions of American Indians that were slaughtered, ravaged by disease, dispossessed of their lands, graves robbed and children kidnapped,” she added.
For the NGO’s leader, Borrell seems to think the American Indians “are wonderfully integrated here in the US, speaking one language, and without any horrible histories.”
