Silliness.

Indians lost, they were an inferior culture.

Yep. Europeans replaced a culture where the guys hunted and fished, raided the neighbors for brides (and horses, later), and the women cleaned the game, prepared meals, tanned the hides, sewed, packed the lodge, unpacked the lodge and set it up...

You might rethink that a little...

“You might rethink that a little...”

Cherry picking. You’ve fallen for the romanticized view of the “Noble Savage”.

Under that lifestyle, I’d have 2 children not 3, the first would have died with the cord around his neck. The medicine man wasn’t well know for technical skills.

Apply this same debate to muslims. Your view of Indians is much like the left’s view of any culture. All cultures are equal, with different strengths and weaknesses. So, we should tolerate muslims, because they do have their good points, right?

Nope, muslims are inferior. They’ve proven it over and over, and at best, should be confined to their own Middle East countries.

I thought about it. The more advanced culture won.

I think they ate their neighbors also. At least the ones that lived in this area did.
