The reality that the American Indians were over all given to war is not an aspect the Left, which seduces multitudes with its victim entitlement mentality whereby they obtain power by presenting themselves as saviors. At the expense of others and detriment of all.

Not that this excuses the many times natives were lied to and mistreated by the government.

Leisure
Edit
One of the more common activities of leisure for the Lenni Lenape would be the game of pahsaheman: a football-like hybrid, split on gender lines. Over a hundred players were grouped into gendered teams (male and female), and would attempt to get a ball through the other team’s goal post. However, men could not carry and pass the ball, only using their feet, while the women could carry, pass, or kick.[28] If the ball was picked up by a woman, she could not be tackled by the men, although men could attempt to dislodge the ball. Women were free to tackle the men.[44] These gender-split rules highlight how a woman’s role in Lenape society was harmonious to a man’s role, rather than acquiescent.

Another activity common was that of dance, and yet again, gender differences appear: men would dance and leap loudly, often with bear claw accessories, while women, wearing little thimbles or bells, would dance more modestly, stepping “one foot after the other slightly forwards then backwards, yet so as to advance gradually.

On the west coast, the Kwakiutl (Kwakwa̱ka̱ʼwakw) in Haida G’Wai (Queen Charlotte Islands) were rampant slavers, raiding neighboring tribes regularly before the Europeans came.

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

The ZUNI Enigma

"The peaceful Zuni of New Mexico and Arizona are much studied, partly because their language, culture and physical appearance set them apart from other Native American peoples.
Davis, an anthropologist who has made 10 visits to the Zuni pueblo, now offers the startling thesis that a group of Japanese Buddhists left earthquake-wracked medieval Japan and came by ship to the Southern California coast, eventually migrating inland to the Zuni territory, where they merged their culture and genes with Native Americans to produce the modern Zuni people around A.D. 1350.
Davis uses ""forensic"" evidence--including analyses of dental morphology, blood and skeletal remains--to support a Japanese-Zuni connection."

This thread was born of pure prejudice, hate, and intolerance. My God does not support this concept. Does yours?
