I guess the indians will object when their story of slaughtering other tribes is being reported instead of the living in harmony with each other and nature BS.
Exactly.
The fighting between tribes especially in central California could be a good lesson on how Not to live.
I think the tribes on the Pacific were generally at peace with one another. It was the Plains and Rocky Mountain tribes as well as the eastern tribes that were more war-like and even there it varied widely.
By the way...the word savage circa 1800 merely meant that they didn't have a written language.
