This is why I never eat Indian Tacos.
You never know who might be in them.
What the aboriginal inhabitants of North and South America, commonly referred to as “Indians”, are today, came from vastly different origins themselves, some from Asia, some crossing the Pacific from the Melanesian archipelagos of Oceania, and even some few crossing what was then a land bridge covered with glacier from Europe, And they came in several different waves, some much later than others.
In the territorial area of the United States alone, there were some 400 or more distinct groups at the time of Columbus, many of whom undertook mutual battles of extinction with each others. Just consider the differences that were between the Navajo and the ancient cliff dwellers, known as the Anasazi. For centuries, perhaps, the Navajo harassed the Anasazi, until the Anasazi undertook an extermination program on the Navajo, catching them, killing them, cooking them and eating the stew, tossing away their bones. Even today, the Navajo speak in hushed tones, of “the old ones”, never referring to them openly, as the Anasazi cursed the Navajo for all eternity.
The Anasazi, it seems, did not survive to the present day, for only the ancient cliff dwellings attest to the fact they were ever here. They were supposedly related to the resent day Pueblo people, who now live peaceably with the Navajo.
Or consider the Cheyenne of Wyoming, who were subject to border raids by the neighbors, the Crow. In one dramatic confrontation at a mountain called Crow Heart, a band of young Crow males was captured by the Cheyenne, and the Cheyenne chief asked the Crows who their leader was. All the Crow willingly pointed him out, and he was brought before the Cheyenne chief. Upon affirming that he was, in fact, the leader, the chief plunged a knife into the chest of the young Crow, pulled out the still beating heart, and took a bite out of it. His mouth dripping with the blood of the unfortunate Crow, the chief turned to the rest of the Crow, and told them, go back and tell your people what you have seen here today.
The Crow never bothered the Cheyenne after that.
And these were just two incidents, among what must have been innumerable times when differences were settled with combat, or stealth, or downright treachery.
We sacrifice more babies in America than were ever by pre Columbian Americans.
Yes they were. They were the happy children of the forest who sang and danced with animals who could also sing and dance.
The Europeans weren’t an “evil people”, the Indians weren’t an “evil people”, they were just PEOPLE.
American Indians where not the natives of north America. The courts are helping bury this fact
Lol
LOL...and then there were the Atakapa tribe of Louisiana and Texas...........cannibals.
Interesting...I have been to this area.
I worked on a mine project near this site...while building a new access road to the mine we were always finding graves and bones.
Had a radio call one day to come immediately to where the D8 was working...operator had a skull rolling around the cab of the dozer.
Will ping later.
They hate Columbus Day because Columbus brought Christianity. No other reason.
Only commies who want to undermine patriotism to the US claim the indians were innocent babes.
We called them savages for a reason.
Evidently these 'experts' have not rummaged through the trash behind the Planned Parenthood building.
Truth — so bad for proggie and lefty propaganda.
I get a kick out of the ignorant common false consensus that none of these same atrocities ever happened in the old world. For every “savage” native American atrocity, I can source to an equal and like kind atrocity or practice by the “civilized” cultures in the old world. Should the Spartan destruction of newborns be the stereotypical example for all cultures in the old world? Of course not, neither should one or two cultures in the new world be the universal stereotypical example for all the new world tribes. It would be like stereotyping “all” white men as bad just because one or two white men committed a crime.

Amateurs.
Modern-day commie Democrats in the USA have slaughtered 70 Million babies.
Archaeologists digging around have found evidence of some form of human sacrifice/cannibalism in centuries past just about everywhere on the planet-since China guards their archaeological finds so carefully, we really don’t know if that stuff went on there-but I’ll bet real money that it did-humans were not gentle or nice in centuries past-we still aren’t-we allow the sacrifice of unborn humans to a woman’s “right to choose”-even though there is no famine from a drought , towns are not being pillaged and burned, women raped and slaughtered-but in some states the murder of an unwanted newborn can be approved by the “mother”...
Being Hispanic/Latino most of my ancestry is Spanish-but in the 400 or so years since those ancestors got on a ship and fled Spain, they weren’t shy about interbreeding/marrying with Native American women, from tribes in Mexico to the Apaches in Mexico, Texas and New Mexico when it was all Spanish territory-they were just working class ranchers and herders, free to partner with any woman they liked.
I don’t think either my Spanish ancestors or the Native ones were kind, caring or peaceful-they were equally savage, but the ones from Spain had more polished methods of torture and justified it all in the name of the Inquisition-but I don’t think Jesus had torture in mind as a tool to win converts...
Native Americans taught the Spanish some torture methods, Spanish taught some torture methods to the Natives-everybody burned, scalped and beheaded each other, and the Karankawas on the Texas coast were practicing cannibalism into the early 1800’s-none of that sounds civilized to me-I can’t imagine that level of cruelty-I don’t even have the urge to burn a few witches...
So I guess these Injuns had something in common with the Irish nuns: http://www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/order-nuns-dumped-up-800-9979348
Ah, but the libs insist that these “noble savages” must be forgiven for their sins, but white people?
Never.
