I know somebody who subscribes to that notion. I don't waste my time, but she's always talking about how great the Indians were, in tune with the 'Earth Mother' and the rest of that nonsense. Like the Aztecs who nobly tore out a beating heart as a way to pay homage to their sun-god.
As far as war, her attitude is is that Indians were peaceful until white man showed up. It's a lost cause.
I should have used a sarc tag! I agree with you.
I was told by a real Apache in NM that when the camp ground got too messy , animal bones, guts, poop etc, that the tribe just moved to a clean spot. That makes sense because mother nature would clean the dirty spot up in a couple of seasons. Now had they been tossing out their beer cans, whiskey bottles and plastic bags it would been a mess for a long long time.;D
