“..who were murdered in tribal raids..”

I once asked an Indian (he agreed - he was Indian, not Native American!) what tribe he was. He said some Indian name and he said “It means ‘The People’ - all Indians call themselves that. The tribe names were made by the White Man.”

“Oh - but obviously you have different groups of Indians?”

“Well sure - you’re not going to steal and get slaves and new wives from your own people - but we didn’t have names for them like you do.”

That’s not true.
