No. But they were a savage and war-like people in their own right. They waged war on each other and white settlers, especially the first arrivals here and broke treaties they made with whites as did whites with them. They weren’t powerless like black slaves. They were just overwhelmed in the end. BTW, how many all black owned casinos are there in America?
No I agree with that. Both sides broke agreements and one could argue that we brought civilization and yet one could say they were oppressed too.
there in lies the hypocrisy by mostly those on the left. Selective outrage.
We could go back to the Romans enslaving the Brits.
The fact is that we can all look to find oppression, but in the end people need to get over their offending tactics and stop going by the media frenzy. Tis battle over the battle flag was done 15 years ago and the left agreed and now they use the shooting and dead bodies to further their agenda.
You really ought to stop talking about things of which you have no knowledge. The Indian nations were just that. Separate Nations. Saying "Indians" did this or that, is like saying "Europeans" did this or that. What one Nation of Indians may or may not have done, does not speak for what other Nations did or did not do.
Again, The Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek (Muscogee), and Seminole, were not that far away from Medieval Europe in terms of communities and their organizations. Many of them quickly adopted European customs, appearances, and methodologies.
