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 On the subject of women and children and the value they had in Lakotah society, women were considered divine givers of life and already close to the creator. A man had to seek a vision to define who he was, to a woman it was already given. A child was recognized as the future of the nation, an equal in all ways to any other. They were allowed great freedom to be individuals an rarely punished for anything unless it was willfully harming someone else.
