Rep Ed Markey - US Genocide of North American Indians

Representative Edward Markey,Massachusetts wrote a letter the other day to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar. Chairman Markey now appears to be acting as a consultant for Cape Wind. The representative has taken the position he will lead the 2009 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen for the United States

This letter was written in spite of an appeal by the Wamanoag Indians over their religious beliefs on Nantucket Sound and the Cape Wind project. Brona Simon, Massachusetts State Historic Preservation Officer, said the request needs further study. This decision will inject delays of more than a year into the Cape Wind timeline.

The United Nations Climate Change Conference takes place DEC 7 to DEC 17 and appears that Massachusetts wants the claim of the Wampanoag Indians out of the picture before the conference. Representative Edward J. Markey, a national leader on energy and the environment, chairs the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming and the Energy and Environment Subcommittee of the Energy and Commerce Committee is not a proponent of the Wamanoag Indians ,the people he represents.

It should be brought to the attention of the United Nations that the Wampanoags say their spiritual greetings of the sun require unobstructed views and say turbines could disturb the ancestral burying grounds.

The North American Indians have rights secured under Indian treaties and agreements with the United States. They have the right to ask for the divine blessing of the creator.

The Indians were the first people. They have a right to be heard. Lets tell the world the genocide of millions of their people, the theft of their lands, and the relentless assault on their culture.

Do you think Representative Edward Markey,Massachusetts sees this as punishment of the Indians ?
