I know it is hard to believe, but before Indians were running casinos and selling cigarettes tax-free in North America, they were a stone-age people. They had not learned to domesticate animals, they had no written language, they used only stone tools and they had not even yet invented the wheel. They had never seen a horse, a metal knife or a plow before Columbus. They also commonly practiced slavery, genocide and cannibalism against other tribes.
No matter how many times liberals watch "Dances with Wolves" and "Pocahontas," it will not change these facts.

Columbus took a chance on finding an inexpensive route to Cathay.
He didn't succeed...but it was a truly glorious failure.

Yeagley does seem amused at something that amuses me - for members of the Sioux nation to be complaining about Columbus and his successors coming in and driving the natives out of their land, taking over their territory for their own purposes and relegating them to outsiders looking into their former homes - all that is sort of rich coming from folks who did just that to the Cheyenne and Kiowa in South Dakota before the settlers ever got there...
