Doesn’t matter, doesn’t count. If white people aren’t the bad guys, it just isn’t notable.
I once read the story of a French fur trapper who operated in the Great Lakes area around the time of the American Revolution.
Well, one day he visited the land of a tribe he had done business with the year before. The tribe was nowhere to be found. Puzzled by that, the trapper asked a neighboring tribe what happened to the first tribe.
“We killed them all,” was the response.
So evidently Native Americans had a bit of the conquering streak in them too. And we’re not even talking about the Aztecs or Incans.
The noble injins. Warring collectives who SLAUGHTERED each other.
Important to remember:
1) “Native Americans” were not always here! They probably migrated to North America across the Bering land bridge from Asia!
2) Some tribes stole land from other tribes! They’re NOT as clean as the wind driven snow!
The Lakotah drove the Blackfoot and Crow from their traditional lands in Minnesota and the Dakotas. The Black Hills, claimed by the Sioux as their “sacred ground” originally “belonged” to other tribes.
And let’s talk about the Chiricahua Apaches.
Reality in the Indian community wasn’t “Dances with Wolves.”
There are no people who are indigenous. They came from “somewhere”.
And when they came, they conquered the grasshoppers and other pests to set up shop.
Really, nothing short than total eradication will be just.
Some of them were cannibals, too.
DNA is putting an end to the “indigenous people” story.
The Indians came from Asia.
A few of the tribal leaders get rich from the Democrat Party by keeping the rest of the tribe poor and begging from the Democrats while voting multiple times for Democrat candidates.
Why are people from “Sovereign Nations (Indian Reservations)” allowed to vote in our elections?
Would we allow Iranians to vote in our elections?
We can’t Vote in their tribal elections.
Funny how people believe Darwinism applies to species but somehow doesn’t apply to civilizations.
Anyone that believes “indigenous people” were and still are a symbol of virtue are complete morons. These tribes were nomadic in their constant quest for food and shelter. Sure they didn’t have modern tools, equipment, and chemicals with which to do environmental damage but you can’t tell me that one or two of their campfires didn’t get out of control and burn out entire forests and grasslands or divert water from streams and rivers changing the ecological balance for the few weeks or months they were there before moving on.
What about all of the animals that went extinct prior to European settlement. If it looked like they could eat it, I bet they did.
American Indians always got along well with each other before the E-e-vil white man arrived!
OH, Wait!

Primitive indigenous peoples always get swamped by more advanced civilizations. Sucks to be them.
Just the best at it ;-)
And slaves
And torture
And gang rape and sexual humiliation
Comanches were really good at it
Their women did most of the torture ..imagine that lol
There was also a charmingly common practice of torture, slavery and cannibalism heaped on the victims of Native American aggression in North America.
They were cultural norms over much of the continent, before the blessings of Christianity and the European enlightenment spread among them.
You are welcome.
Indian on Indian is kind of like Black on Black in modern times..
Doesn’t really count.
The obsessed racialist loony left and the race baiters hope it never ends.
If blacks stop killing each other many on the left are out of a lucrative gig.
The Hopi were terrified of the Navahoe as one example. Native history is complex and to see them as a single group is historically incorrect and pandering. When the Puritans landed the natives there were seeking an alliance with the settlers against their own foes.
"Lovelock, Nevada, is about eighty miles northeast of Reno. It was in a cave near here, in 1911, that guano miners found mummies, bones, and artifacts buried under four feet of bat excrement. The desiccated bodies belonged to a very tall people - with red hair."
Unless the plot of land you’re sitting on was uninhabited when the current owners got there someone killed someone else to get it in the past.
The lands that are currently the United States were fought over and killed over countless times over the last 15,000 years or so. White men were just better at it than the “native americans”, we put an end to all the killing.
Silly argument.
Modern treaties are not invalidated simply because people hundreds or thousands of years ago warred against others.
Following this argument, civilization is not valid because some ancient people were not civilized.
