Why were they traitors? Many of the different Indian tribes hated each other.
Look, I was just explaining the term, since nobody else seems to know what Joe was talking about.
I am not saying all Indians were otherwise perfect.
There were some good ones and some bad ones, just like any other people.
But from the Indian standpoint, Indians who were helping ‘white-eyes’ were not held in high esteem and I think that is understandable.
