i am reminded of the words of Red Cloud, of the Sioux nation:
"The hairy faces came among us & made us promises. More promises than there are leaves on trees, BUT of all the promises they made to us, they kept just ONE. They said they would take our LAND. They did.".

I will also point out that Red Jacket of the Seneca worked with a Mr. Morris to sell his tribes land. He got a great sum, and got every penny of it.
Handsome Lake, his nephew, had some visions condemning him for it, but the Seneca still live in NY. One of his descendants served as secretary and wrote out the surrender document at Appromatox.
Before we condemn the whites for taking Indian land, we must ask what did the Indians do to the people who lived on the land before them? Much the same thing. Since the printing press had not been invented, there is no record of the barbarity of the Indians to their precursors.
