Nice Image..and Message...love the skull's..

Deep message but unfortunately its all true...Excellent image to represent the truth :)

Great image and excellent message very very great, i think that is the only truth. great

i learned something today... well said... words and art..

Ok, but if not Columbus than who? If not the U.S. than what? What would the rest of the world look like? What kind of world would we have today? And at what point would another formidable people have taken an interest in America? What king, emperor, or furor would have become interested in the resources of America.

said this @ the other posting, may as well say it here too :Well said, & very truthful, I usually hold My tongue on political issues, & used to get critisized very heavily when I said Columbus was a murderer, a rapist, & a slave trader. It made people think & wonder, & then they did research... & realized all that I said was true, the things that were left out of the history books. An excellent tribute to the People Lost due to Columbus, & again, very well spoken :o) Thomas

@Mock: Your question about the inevitability of the American holocaust and the historical alternatives is a very interesting one. As for me, I simply refuse to consider the mass killing of around a hundred million Native Americans throughout four centuries as something inevitable and simply to shrug shoulders about it. It is not a law of nature that 100 million people got to be killed. And its also not a law of nature that this ought to be swept under the rug afterwards. I don`t know what kind of world we would have today without that holocaust. The only thing I know is that whatever good came out of all this was definitely not worth the killing of one hundred million people and the destruction of hundreds of cultures. The US has always claimed a special moral standard for its internal and foreign politics. Its time to look at the morality of the genocide that was an integral part of the US nationbuilding process and to ask what bearing this has on the human rights rethoric of the constitution and US politics now and then.

You have my backing and my respect Lookoo!

VERY GREAT!! i love this ... reaches back to his mohawk history and smiles.. thanks for the image

@ HUT714: First of all, among the many hundreds of native American cultures there were two, the Aztecs and the Incas, who made large scale human sacrifices as a part of their religion. The inquisition-eager Spaniards, who burned countless people in order to sustain their idea of religion, exaggerated their reports so much for justification of their annihilation of these cultures that it is impossible today to tell how large the sacrifice practices really were. What we know for sure is that the Aztecs sacrificed male prisoners of war for religious motifs. The Spaniards, by contrast, could easily kill 20 thousand people for fun in a single afternoon just to put their newly sharpened rapiers into practice or kill 40 thousand people in one day when they really meant it - as during the destruction of Tenochtitlan. Day after day. Is that what you meant when referring to the cry of the blood of people as the reason "why the white man came"?

He's uneducated Lookoo... Sad to say, so is 90% of America. Then again, that's the way its been since the start. Yesterdays dregs of Europe are now today's leaders of America. Go figure. America the beautiful... more like America the racist.

It's nice to see that someone knows enough about history to put together a tragically beautiful piece of art such as this... well done...

Agree with the above, and it's nice to see a piece with a strong spirituatl/ethical message in the galleries. Now about the art: well-done image. I like the fog, and think perhaps it would strengthen the image to have extended it higher up the pile of skulls.

So true, pookah69... If you only knew what it feels like after having loaded, rescaled, textured and positioned seventy-odd skulls ... Apathy is too small a word LOL

Jesus taught peace and love, not use of the sword. This mass slaughter and mistreatment of the Native American people is most sad, but I thank you for the deeper insight. Good work. -Peace

Totally agree
