Yet only one part of my blood loves that memory. Another voice speaks
of native lands
within this nation.
Lands invaded
when the earth became owned.
Lands of those who followed
the changing Moon,
knowledge of the seasons
in their veins.

—"Ellis Island," Joseph Bruchac

What evidence supports the theme “America denied freedom to many already living here”?

Yet only one part of my blood loves that memory.
Lands invaded when the earth became owned.
those who followed the changing Moon
knowledge of the seasons in their veins
