Sterilization was the Plan
Sterilization was the Plan
Natasha Romanoff.
You know that name,
the spy from Marvel.
She saw herself as a monster
because she was sterilized.
The question is:
Did you know
Indigenous females
were also sterilized?
The brown skin,
black hair,
“foreign” language
and pagan beliefs
were not ideal.
Native Americans
were still seen as “dirt”
and the less there were
the better it was.
Paper ads tricked
soon to be mothers
and females to gather
for free screenings.
The staff looked at them
as heathens, disgusting creatures
that needs to wiped off the planet.
Procedures without consent happened.
Thousands of Native ladies
were no longer “women”.
They were now sterilized
and could not bare children.
Future torch bearers
for our cultures were
whisked away in mere seconds.
