The Rape of Pocahontas: Did We Eviscerate the Native Americans?
PJTV ^ | 6/10/2015 | Bill Whittle

Posted on 07/08/2015 3:50:43 PM PDT by Falcon4.0

In this PJTV series, we look at whether America is a country of hostility or prosperity. The first episode covers the treatment of Native American's. Should we be ashamed of the way our ancestors treated them?

The video, which know one has taken time to watch makes that exact point.

If you had any iota of reading comprehension, you might have noticed I did not even comment on the video. I was making a point of my own construction. Again your pinhead did not notice that my quote was a response to a post, not the video.

Well, the preacher had it wrong.


Ya think?

He also claimed the American Indians never wasted anything in lived in pure harmony with nature. He was a bit flustered when I described “Buffalo Jump, Montana.”

He recovered and claimed they gathered everything from the animals they ran off the cliff.

LOL! There was a mountain of carcases. Prime cuts (hump and tongue) were eaten on the spot, the available carcases in the pile skinned and likely smoked (not counting what was eaten on the spot), but before they go to the bottom of the pile, it is likely the smell of decaying meat drove them away.

The ones which were used were used efficiently insofar as they provided enough for the band involved to get what they needed, but that did not mean all the animals were used, nor even accessible. Of course, that varied from site to site, depending on topography, but the belief was that any animals which escaped would communicate the technique to others and prevent the next hunt from being successful.

Yes, I think so. Don’t discount the copper, gold, and other nonferrous metalwork of the tribes in Central and South America, either. Most of it boiled down to available resources, and for much of North America those were quartzite, some form of cryptocrystalline quartz (flint, chalcedony, agate), obsidian, rarely rock crystal quartz, or even welded tuff (seen in Nevada), so at least for projectile points, scrapers, drills and knives (pre-Columbian), stone was the dominant material by virtue of availability.

Glad my flippant remark was at least in context :)

I liked Whittle’s “Pin the Tale on the Donkey.” I’ll check this one out.

Now why are you grillin’ us for obviously not watching the video? Surely you understand the therapeutic value of barking...

Sorry. it was the first reply that insinuated that I think America is guilty of something and that set me off.
