Thanks for this excellent article. Much more needs to be written about blood gold, and you have laid out excellent information regarding indigenous peoples that have been exploited in the pursuit of gold.
It's long overdue that we put Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill and relegate the Jackson presidential legacy to the genocidal atrocity it was.
I have a great print framed in my office which is a graphic of the $20 bill with Andrew Jackson's face floating over the brutal procession of Cherokee people on the wintry trail of tears. I wanted to remind everyone that it is important to remember who you are glorifying.
