There are surveys of terms and the majority of whites don’t like being called anglos.
Population in the Americas peaked around 1000-1100 (Medieval optimum), same as the Vikings in Greenland, Europe, and many other places. A multihundred year drought followed, killing 90% of the population in California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado, and Texas. Probably similar numbers in northern Mexico.
American scholars claimed that the natives had no written language (petroglyphs by the thousands per square mile in many parts of California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, and New Mexico- don’t know about Texas). Massive inertia, versus an honest search for the truth, on all sides. The only significant differences with this latest lying historian are that: 1) he is intentionally lying 2) he has zero scholarship to back his lies.
honestly never heard we caught anything from them.
They weren't bad fighters themselves, just more prudent. Choose your battles.
smallpox for a horse seems a poor trade.
Borrego says, “Indian chiefs on reservations don’t want to talk about this, because they fear reprisals from the government and losing the casinos that they’ve been given as compensation.”
That isn’t true at all. An American Indian can criticize the government, historical white settlers, present day whites, anything he wants to say, true or likely apocryphal, like the foot amputation story. There won’t be any reprisals, no loss of casinos, just guilt and apologies, or silence. The foot cutting story is proof Indians can say what they want.
Borrego is anti-Anglo but pro-Mexican. The pro-Mexican agenda is a bit of a twist, but there is an Aztlan movement. I wonder what the non-Aztec Indians of the US Southwest and Mexico think of the Aztecs today? Would they like to be under the rule of their descendants? Do the Navajo and Pueblo people prefer Mexican rule to US? Are they angry with their ancestors for allying with the Spanish? Do they feel like they are all one people now, compared to the Europeans? Are narco lords Aztecs?
Guess it depends on the horse and how much ivermectin one has.
Pin-da-lic-o-ye can keep stupid casinos. We make-um heap big wampum cooking meth-um and smuggling blow-um. Pay-um lobbyists so Great White Farter look-um other way-um.
