The Black Lives Matter has become a fierce storm in America, so fierce that many American cities are removing racists depictions of American history. One such historical figure is Kit Carson who betrayed the Dine by leading the American military against the Navajos. The Mayor of Santa Fe has decided to remove Kit Carson's statue that was standing in Downtown Santa Fe. (Santa Fe mayor calls for removal of controversial monuments, statue of Spanish conquistador) Navajo Historian Wally Brown explains that the Dine rescued and revived a young Kit Carson in the San Juan Mountains. The Dine adopted Carson and gave him a Navajo wife. Later on, Carson led the charge against the Dine and executed the Scorched earth campaign against the Dine in Canyon De Chelly. Like the first Pilgrims that came to America, Kit Carson represents that despicable human being who kills the hands that helped him.
