Read that the Iroquois would eat the children of the tribe they captured in front of their parents. Or cut off one of their captured peoples body part and eat that in front of them. (These were in paper written by early French missionaries.)

Always heard the early whites in America oppressed the Native Americans.

I say we brought them Christianity. Changed some of the bad ones to the better.

Wasn't our first Thanksgiving based on Native Americans helping out early American settlers at Plymouth Rock? (That was a major experiment in socialism prior to Thanksgiving. What an expected failure on steroid.)

Another interesting thing I've read about history and archaeology was even though Native Americans hadn't invented the wheel there was an archaeological dig in central America found a toy wheel barrel with a wheel. Where did it come from and why didn't it catch on?

“Native Americans” were quite used to being oppressed and being oppressors. It was not a new condition for them. It only became an issue when proto-liberals began going all Karen over the “oppression”.

Actually, I think it was the Cherokee (for one) that had a religion which was based on all the tenants of Christianity, including a savior, brought to them long before the arrival of the Europeans - according to standard history. (no link, sorry).
