How the US and Mexico Invented a Shared Lie to Steal Native Land
Most people see the border between the US and Mexico as a natural, inevitable line on a map. But what if that line is actually the scar of a massive crime scene? This video unpacks a shocking historical revelation: two sworn enemies, the US and Mexico, built their national identities on the same fabricated lie to erase Indigenous peoples and justify land theft. Drawing from Christine's groundbreaking book *Before American History*, we explore how both nations used ancient ruins, maps, and even the concept of 'time' to rewrite reality. From the fake Aztec colony in Wisconsin to the stolen Sun Stone in Mexico City, discover how colonial powers turned science, language, and law into weapons of dispossession. If you want to understand why your property deed might be built on a myth, this is a must-watch. Author: Christine; Book: *Before American History*.
