It is sad how few people will consider what an Indian says because he is an Indian.
This forum used to be much different.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79087800 Not all of us have forgotten. :chief: what has changed is we all now know that native indian does not necessarily = wise and peaceful white men were able to take over in part because they were helped by other indians, often ones who were mistreated "half-breeds" in the eyes of indian tribes... also, natives were often fighting each other and were led by a patriarchal system that did not necessarily place the needs of women and children very highly tribes like Comanches regularly killed women and children that were inconvenient to their conquests; tales of indian atrocities are many and extremely barbaric on and on... the natives were no better than the whites... the main difference is that the white culture believed in the God of the Bible, Jesus Christ... that message was rejected by natives 2000 years ago and even when the first Europeans arrived they often persecuted any indians who converted to Christ... it was not indian people who were doomed, so much as parts of their culture, just as parts of white culture today are also becoming doomed A lot of what you say is true but the most vicious and dishonorable acts and atrocities were taught them by whites, like scalping for bounties and taking children and squaws captive as hostages or simply murdering them. Indians are no different then anyone else in that there are good ones and there are bad ones, if you murder their children and their wives they will react in kind. Lets put it this way, we did not invade Europe, you invaded Turtle Island and we welcomed you until you tried to own us and the land of our ancestors. It's not yours to take, nor ours to give. The Innocent blood you have shed has cursed this land for you, you will never live in peace here. Think about it, have you ever, for five years straight in the entire history of the United States?
