I'm sorry, but a few wandering tribes did not have a right to monopolize an entire continent, most of which was unused.

With all due respect, the Eastern tribes were not wandering. Their villages were organized on grids. They were heavy into agriculture.

Not every Indian comes from a John Ford Western

The native indian tribes had their own culture of warring against each other for territories. They took land from each other...killing, etc. along the way.

But, they are viewed as peaceable victims...innocent of any such behavior until the big bad 'invaders' came to grab their land and kill them.

FAct is fact, history is history. Corruption and twisting of facts and history is criminal.

My family and I are planning to attend the Jamestown 400th.... however, there is no mistaking that many native populations were destroyed due to war and disease brought by the Europeans. Gotta call a duck a duck.

Anything around your place you haven't "used" in awhile? I believe I'll come over and claim it. No sense in just letting it sit there unused and it's not really yours anymore anyway, as you don't use it.

Could be though you see things differently and may have a gun and shoot me for trespassing. (uummm, kinda like the Indians did)
