What actions?
Being here and protecting their land?
I'm not part of the-beat-the-European-American crowd, but America's treatment of native Americans has been despicable.
I actually blame it on the French.
Between 1689 and 1763 the French, ensconced in Canada, used Native American indian "allies" to conduct a brutal frontier war on British American civilians. Their use of these unfortunate people as a political and military foil engendered in the American mind the concept of American Indians as a brutal savage, equivalent to wolves and cougars, who was only fit to be shouldered aside from lands he "occupied" but did not "own".
The Eastern Tribes only wanted to survive. They were trapped between the twin millstones of French and British expansionism and tried to select the lesser of the two evils. Unfortunately they chose "not wisely."
The Amerindians were forced off their own lands at gun point, they were compelled to "sign" documents they didn't understand, plied with whiskey, deprived of a livelihood, crowded into barren "reservations", forced to watch their children taken from them and educated as whites, punished when they spoke their own language, prevented from practising their own religion, ridiculed for their dress and customs, and decimated by diseases they had no resistance to and couldn't understand.
Pity the American Indian. And pity us for the heritage they and WE have lost. They are Americans also.
I think they deserve at least an apology and maybe more - the few of them that we left around still alive, that is.
No they are not, by their own choice. Haven't you heard? They are sovereign nations.
Spare us the BS, OK? Pity yourself all you want, but please jettison the arrogance that allows you to think you can speak for me.
Ok, and they apologize to each other for centuries of warfare among the different tribes right?
