Haunted History: Salem Witch Trials
My plan with this subject is to show at least three 'stand out
things' that my elders, now ancestors, and I have been complaining to you about
for far too many years!
At least 39 years
of my complaints
on computers!
1st
The
Top 20 Most Haunted Places in Massachusetts - Boston Ghosts
This is about trials in the North Eastern part of Indian/Native
American Country, and yet you will only see Central/West Coast Indians?
Our complaint is the fact that our people are also native to our
land and we have and as you can now see are being still being abused!
2nd
Because of the fact of the 1st statement 75% to 80% of our Native
Americans get 0 to no help from the Euro-Americans now controlling our land
un-less you count a hand full of those 'Government controlled Casinos'!
I do not!!
3rd
Please take a close look at the picture?
The mark being pointed too is not a mark of a witch, warlock or
occult, it is the birth mark of a 'Royal Family Member, of a Eastern Native
American Tribe and a huge reason why those birth marks are so hard to find as
of late, the person (Female), ancestors were burned at the stake mistakenly
called witches!
It has been some time my friends but my inner most native feelings
have come back for me to open up to my elders/ancestors for this post!
My Shawnee brothers and sisters will tell you that it is their
mark of Royalty and I agree, because many of our people, after being forced off
our land traveled to all parts west!

Salem Witch Trials - Events, Facts &
Victims - HISTORY
Context &
Origins of the Salem Witch Trials
Belief in the supernatural–and specifically in the
devil’s practice of giving certain humans (witches) the power to harm others in
return for their loyalty–had emerged in Europe as early as the 14th century,
and was widespread in colonial
New England. In addition, the harsh realities
of life in the rural Puritan community of Salem Village (present-day
Danvers, Massachusetts) at the time included the after-effects of a British war
with France in the American colonies in 1689, a recent smallpox epidemic, fears
of attacks from neighboring Native
American tribes and a longstanding rivalry
with the more affluent community of Salem Town (present-day Salem). Amid these
simmering tensions, the Salem witch trials would be fueled by residents’
suspicions of and resentment toward their neighbors, as well as their fear of
outsiders.
