I wonder when society collapses how many indians will return to their roots? How much knowledge of their traditional ways have been retained? Will it be a possibility to see an indian camp with TPs and living off the land like they did hundreds of years ago? Once society goes away there will be no restrictions on them any longer. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 27872843 United States 11/22/2012 01:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Genocides in history 1490 to 1914 Americas Main article: Population history of American indigenous peoples From the 1490s when Christopher Columbus set foot on the Americas to the 1890 massacre of Sioux at Wounded Knee by the United States military, the indigenous population of the Western Hemisphere may have declined, the direct cause mostly from disease, to 1.8 from as many as 100 million.[22] In Brazil alone the indigenous population has declined from a pre-Columbian high of an estimated 3 million to some 300,000 (1997).[23][24] Estimates of how many people were living in the Americas when Columbus arrived have varied tremendously; 20th century scholarly estimates ranged from a low of 8.4 million to a high of 112.5 million persons. This population debate has often had ideological underpinnings.[25] Robert Royal writes that "estimates of pre-Colombian population figures have become heavily politicized with scholars who are particularly critical of Europe and/or Western civilization often favoring wildly higher figures."[26] Epidemic disease was the overwhelming direct cause of the population decline of the American natives.[27][28] After first contacts with Europeans and Africans, some believe that the death of 90 to 95 percent of the native population of the New World was caused by Old World diseases such as smallpox and measles.[29] Some estimates indicate case fatality rates of 80-90% in Native American populations during smallpox epidemics.[30] One of the most important yet highly disputed pieces of information regarding the intentional ethnocide of indigenous populations in the Americas was possible intentional use of disease as a biological weapon, which was first posited by British forces under the command of Jeffery Amherst.[31][32] There is, however, only one documented case of germ warfare, involving British commander Jeffrey Amherst.[33] It is uncertain whether this documented British attempt successfully infected the natives.[34] Some historians argue that genocide,[who?] a crime of intent, was not the intent of European colonization while in America. The Reverend Stafford Poole, a Catholic priest, wrote: "There are other terms to describe what happened in the Western Hemisphere, but genocide is not one of them. It is a good propaganda term in an age where slogans and shouting have replaced reflection and learning, but to use it in this context is to cheapen both the word itself and the appalling experiences of the Jews and Armenians, to mention but two of the major victims of this century."[35] In his book American Holocaust, David Stannard argues that the destruction of the aboriginal peoples of the Americas, in a "string of genocide campaigns" by Europeans and their descendants, was the most massive act of genocide in the history of the world.[22] Stannard's argument has been supported by Ward Churchill, who has said "it was precisely malice, not nature, that did the deed."[36] Stannard's claim of 100 million deaths has been challenged because he does not cite any demographic evidence to support this number, and because he makes no distinction between death from violence and death from disease. Noble David Cook, Latin Americanist and history professor at Florida International University, considers books such as Stannard's– a number of which were released around the year 1992 to coincide with the 500th anniversary of the Columbus voyage to America– to be an unproductive return to Black Legend-type explanations for depopulation. According to Noble David Cook, "There were too few Spaniards to have killed the millions who were reported to have died in the first century after Old and New World contact."[37] In 2003, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez urged Latin Americans to not celebrate the Columbus Day holiday. Chavez blamed Christopher Columbus for leading the way in the mass genocide of the Native Americans by the Spanish.[38] American writer David Quammen has likened the colonial American policies and practices toward Native Americans with those of Australia toward its aboriginal populations, calling them "brutal, hypocritical, opportunistic, and even genocidal in the fullest sense of the word."[39] [link to en.wikipedia.org] |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24842937 Nice revisionist history. Awww, can't live with the truth that your country is no better than the Zionist you all so easily condemn??? LOL The U.S. is far worse and sickening in its genocide and hiding the truth. The Native history before you came has no bearing on the what was done, so stop trying to side-step the issues. |
