Guess they will not be talking about the Imperialistic Carib tribe and their cannibalistic habits

Before Indians were running casinos and selling cigarettes tax-free in North America, they were a stone-age people before the “pale face” came. They had not learned to domesticate animals (except dogs and lamas), 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, a cart or a plow.

They also commonly practiced slavery, genocide and cannibalism against other tribes. No matter how many times you watch “Dances with Wolves” and “Pocahontas,” it will not change these facts. The vast majority of Missionaries wanted to spread the gospel of Christ and raise these new converts out of their stone-age way of life. What should they have done? Ignore them?

In terms of population percentage loss, the worst war we ever fought was King Philip’s War in 1675-76. King Philip was an indian chief (also known as Metacomet) who attacked to oust white settlers from New England. The Indians burned down/destroyed twelve of ninety Puritan towns and attacked forty others (including Providence). The Colonists’ population was small in 1675 and a good percentage of that population was killed in the war (with about 1000 slain out of a population of 52,000, this death rate was nearly twice that of the Civil War and more than seven times that of World War II). The Indians lost the war.

The vast majority of Indians sided with the French in the French And Indian War (1753). The indians lost the war.

The vast majority of Indians sided with the British in the Revolution. The Indians lost the war. Think about that - the Freedoms we have today and the Freedoms the Indians use without shame are the same Freedoms their ancestors fought against.

The vast majority of Indians sided with the British again in the War of 1812. The Indians lost the war.

As the Americans moved west, fighting was constant on both sides. The Indians lost every time.

The judgment of history is merciless.

The Indians, having sort of a 60's hippie, free love, liberal cultural outlook, did not observe the sanctity of marriage, as we also do not today in the West, so they "shared" the squaws with whomever and whenever.

Yeh, and such a shame. Those dastardly Indians took half the fun out of the europeans' Rape & Pillage Plan.
