It could just as easily mean the Indians killed them and took their jewelry. Or took the women as slaves after killing the men.

I don't see that they have evidence that supports anything else. The artifacts discovered so far obviously are consistent with your theory.

I guess that would be "Indigenous" murder, etc.

The Indians were called Indians because that's what they were--they were from the Indies, and the whites were from Europe. Except Virginia Dare. She was of European ancestry, but she was Indigenous to America.

“The Indians were called Indians because that’s what they were—they were from the Indies,”

Wow. I was taught that they were called Indians because the settlers thought they had landed in India!!

For fifty yrs I thought this.
