***V. Thou shalt not murder...
VII. Thou shalt not steal...
X. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods.

Attempting to use religion to justify crimes against our fellow human being is sacrilegious.***

The Indians had no such qualms about these as they had no law.

Trappers reported Indians killing other Indians in camp over minor slights, and killing people just for the fun of it.

Indians stole anything they could get their hands on. The only killings during the Lewis and Clark exploration was of Blackfoot indians who had stolen a rifle and horse.

Indians considered it an honor to steal from others. Horses being a prime target. Theft brought them great honor among their own tribe.

Indians thought nothing of traveling hundreds of miles just to raid a tribe or town.

Read NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS by George Catlin. (the artist),
and TOUGH TRIP THROUGH PARADISE by Andrew Garcia for examples.
