In the Northeast woodlands the most feared and hated nation was the Iroquois — especially the Mohawk and Seneca. The Algonquian speaking nations and Iroquoian speaking Huron were particular enemies of the Iroquois. In the 1640s, the Iroquois unleashed a virtual genocide on the other Nations of the region, one that was not quickly forgotten.

The Ojibwa defeated a number of the Iroquois incursions and ran the Sioux out of their forested homeland onto the plains. The Ojibwa (Chippewa and associated bands) occupied more land than any other tribe ever has from Manitoba to Indiana and took over smaller tribes on their pursuit west.

In the Southeast, the Muskogean-speaking peoples made up the largest linguistic group and included the Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek, Cherokee, and Seminole among others. These were know as the Five Civilized Tribes, but their martial abilities should not be underestimated. The Seminole, in particular were suppressed but never defeat by US forces. Creeks were the dominant people in Georgia during the majority of its colonial era.

There is no doubt the Crows were among the fiercest on the Plains/Yellowstone regions. Excellent horsemen, horse raiders, great hunters, epic warriors and iconic Chiefs. They were also among the most wealthiest in terms of horse numbers. They fought virtually every tribe on all sides to defend their hunting grounds and homelands with little to no "alliances" unlike the Sioux. The Sioux Indians were one of the most feared Nations, but they were actually a large alliance — Dakota, Lakota, Sioux, often siding with the Cheyenne.

In the Southwest, the Comanche were particular unfriendly to other bands, but the Pima seem to have been the Nation most feared by other tribes. The Comanche were noted for being fierce warriors who fought vigorously to defend their homeland. However, they were, at one time or another, at war with virtually every other Native American group living on the Southern Plains. Many historians debate whether the Comanche deserve their ferocious reputation.

The attacks of the Apache on the Pima Villages caused the Pima to develop their own unique militia organization capable of offense and defense. This “militia” had its antecedents in Pima auxiliaries used by the Spanish garrisons from 1694. In 1857. an estimated 300 Yuma, Mohave, Apache and Yavapai warriors attacked a Pima Maricopa village in one of the largest all native inter-tribal battles in Arizona's history. The Maricopa / Pima forces, some mounted on horses, surrounded the attackers before annihilating them. The attackers lost 200 killed to the Pima.

Yet the Confederates managed to make a raid on St Albans Vermont.

Lt Eugene Ware said they saw several wagon trains heading west with some of the people wearing bits and pieces of Confederate uniforms. and word was out that some trains had confederate flags on them till they got near a town.

“Yet the Confederates managed to make a raid on St Albans Vermont.”

A raiding party came down from Canada in late 1864, six months before the war ended. They robbed a bank.

“Lt Eugene Ware said they saw several wagon trains heading west with some of the people wearing bits and pieces of Confederate uniforms. and word was out that some trains had confederate flags on them till they got near a town.”

West from where? And what was Ware — who was with the Iowa Cavalry — doing up in New England near the Canadian border?

In any event, what does that have to do with Minnesota in 1862?

"But what about the pre-civilization utopia that the self-hating whites are always telling us about?"

Indian Chief "Two Eagles" was asked by a white U.S. Government official, "You have observed the white man for 90 years . You've seen his wars and his technological advances. You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done."

The Chief nodded in agreement.

The official continued, "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"

The Chief stared at the government official for over a minute and then calmly replied:

"When white man find land, Indians running it, no taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, clean water. Women did all the work, Medicine man free. Indian man spend all day hunting and fishing; All night making love.'

Then the chief leaned back and smiled "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."

Just point out that the whole west was aflame from Mexico to Canada with Indian attacks. As for the tribes of the North East, many of them now live in NE Oklahoma and sided with the Confederacy.

They signed new treaties with the Union in 1866 after the Civil War had ended.

I believe the Sioux kicked the Crow, Kiowa, Blackfeet, and others off the land that we eventually took from them.

It’s the history of man.

Also, what is overlooked in regard to treatment of Native Americans is that in Florida, Natives were given the opportunity to stay if they agreed to abide by state laws. Thus started the forced migration west and onto reservations.

The US did not treat Natives kindly, but they were very good at picking the wrong side of wars involving the US and also killing innocent and isolated settlers.

Comparatively, the Natives here were treated much better during the same time period, if you compare to South America, Europe, Africa and Asia.

I first read of this massacre several decades ago when I picked a volume of THE ROMANCE AND TRAGEDY OF PIONEER LIFE by August Lynch Mason(1883).

And later read of the murder of teacher Ann Whitney of Hamilton TX in 1867.

So much old history is purposely forgotten in today’s world.

Good. :)

I’m in Potawatomi Territory in Wisconsin.

We raise Treeing Walker Coon Hounds and Plott Hounds. They all get Native American Tribe names, and the Beagle that’s in charge of EVERYTHING around here is named, ‘Chief.’ ;)

We currently have in training: Lakota, Fox, Shasta, Fremont, Bella Coola, Ho Chunk, Osage and Paiute.

The Karankawa tribe lived along the Texas Gulf Coast in the Galveston area. They practiced cannibalism.

Clarification? Are you saying it is not accurate history, or motivated by prejudice, hate, and intolerance, or that the question it is answering is? Why do you say this, as I honestly do not know, except that liberals typically tend to want to portray American Indianans as living in peaceful co-existence until white Europeans arrived, who were all evil consistent with the color of their skin. However, as I stated in my post as regards the history here vs. a version of the Left, "Not that this excuses the many times natives were lied to and mistreated by the government."
