Huh? I thought the continent was completely empty when Europeans arrived.
Even Minnesota just had lakes and trees. The butter company tells me so.
The alleged "Indians" have been thoroughly erased to protect their feelings.

The Washington Football Team, which dropped its controversial name a year ago, has banned Native American garb from its stadium.
Washington has banned fans from wearing Native American headdresses or face paint to games at FedEx Field this season, the team announced Wednesday.
Washington will hold a practice at the stadium Friday with approximately 20,000 fans expected. It will be the biggest crowd since the home finale in 2019, which means it will be the largest gathering in the stadium since the organization announced in July of 2020 it was dropping its old name and seeking a new one. It will be known as the Football Team for 2021, with the permanent name being announced "early in 2022," according to team president Jason Wright. He has said they don't want to announce the name until they also have settled on a logo and a new branding of the organization as well as completing the trademark process.
Wright said they have worked with Native American leaders during the process of finding a new name. He recently announced that Washington would not be choosing the name Warriors as its new one. Owner Dan Snyder had applied to trademark that name in 2007 when he was trying to bring an Arena League to Washington.
But Native American leaders told ESPN last summer that would be too close to the former name and therefore unacceptable.
The team has long said it will keep the burgundy-and-gold color scheme, but did away with its cheerleaders in favor of a coed dance team.
The White man will tell you what to think and say.
The NFL is dead to me for a while now.
Grew up watching for the most part the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Dallas Cowboys and the Washington Redskins every Sunday 70s, 80s and 90s. Our house hold rarely missed games. Still watched it a lot from 2000-2010 seasons.
Think it was around 2012 when the NFL started going political by pushing Obamacare, but it was not that bad. So we could deal with it. What really pushed it was Kapernick and the NFL caving to him. The NFL died I think in 2018? That’s the last time I really watched a full NFL game.
What I see now validates why I left. Oh well I guess the NFL can enjoy their few viewers.
The good old football days of uniting the country are gone. Sad to see it go.
But it’s okay for the rest of the Village People to go to a game. What happens if the Land O Lakes butter girl shows up?
What’s their new name again? The Washington Surrender Monkeys? (apologies to all monkeys)
OpressedVictimofWhitePeopleA?
Or the “Keep America Beautiful” Crying Indian?
Who are they consulting - Ward Churchill?
Tuned the NFL out as soon as it became apparent that they were embracing the Colin Cancer.
Let them continue to self destruct. They are all millionaires, they can afford it.
Is ticket scalping okay?
That is racist. Several FRs have pointed out the trend to erase American Indians from our sight and mind.
When the Left is done with “fundamentally transforming” sports, they’ll be unrecognizable.
Change it to Cowboyland and see what happens.

That girl has also been erased. Land O Lakes CEO seems to dislike Native Americans, even prefers an empty space to that attractive, positive image.
Remove the Indian, keep the land....typical.
Exactly.
No matter how low or “woke” the NFL and other sports leagues will go, many “conservatives” will continue to watch this garbage. People, get over your sports addiction and go cold turkey.
Ugh!
Tix cost much wampum.
Me stay home. Smoke peace pipe.
Drink Nature’s Spirit.
American Indians are not the only ones to use face paint or war paint. It’s been used in Europe, Africa, Japan.
NFL? They still around?
