Here’s yet another example of how the truth slips in about the demise of most Native Americans. They weren’t killed in a coordinated genocidal system employed by racist white Europeans; most Indians died simply by exposure to viruses and bacteria that that the explorers brought with them from another hemisphere. IOW, it just happened.

Now, I suppose most guilty white liberal Americans believe that once Europeans found out that the Western Hemisphere was populated, they should have just gotten back onto their ships and sailed back to crowded Europe, thus preserving the so-called pristine Americas for the natives who were already here.

Sigh. Silly guilty white liberals. Not only didn’t the French, Spanish, English, and Dutch NOT do that, neither would you, if you were in the same situation as they were some 500 years ago.

Thus, get off my back. I’m NOT sorry whites came to America and I’m NOT sorry for something that whites had no control over (the spread of disease via mere exposure to one another).

Furthermore, I’m NOT sorry that there is only one speaker of the Huron language. I’m sure that there are 100’s of languages that have disappeared over the centuries, if not millenia. Are we to spend a million bucks trying to preserve each one? And for what purpose? Guilt?

One Language. One Nation. Under (the Christian) God. Indivisible.

One was “The Huron Carol.” Oral tradition attributes it to Jean de BrÃ©beuf, the first Jesuit priest fluent in Huron who was later famous – and canonized – for his stoic calm while being tortured at the stake and scalped.

Here is another truth that “slipped out”.

I bet the priest Jean de BrÃ©beuf didn’t torture anyone. In fact, I bet part of his mission was teaching these savage and primitive people not to torture each other.
