How about the “We Kicked The Indigenous People’s Ass Day”. Please remember, Indians had no horses or firearms until Europeans brought them to the New World. The indigenous people hadn’t even invented the wheel and spent a lot of their time engaging in infanticide, ritual human sacrifice, torture, rape and occasional cannibalism. This was “the noble savage”.
regardless, space shuttle indigenous people would be a horrible name.
Indians had garbage dumps too.
That’s right: The American Indians hadn’t even invented the WHEEL!
Few people comment on how primitive and unsophisticated American Indians were by this measure.
I once asked a university anthropologist why he thought American Indians hadn’t invented the wheel and he pondered for a bit (because nobody boldly asks him that question) and said, “...Because they didn’t need the wheel.”
I was stunned at this Luddite mentality coming from a professor who is supposed to “enlighten” the minds of students.
Just imagine how far the Plains Indians could travel if they attached a wheel to the teepee poles that they DRAGGED on the ground behind a horse!
