What kind of nonsense history books have you been reading?
Homeland taken by force...killed and raped???
These people were stone-age for crying out loud!
Did you know there are more “Native Americans” now then at any time prior to Euroman getting here?
Please explain to me what Europeans did to the Indians that they weren’t doing amongst themselves and to each other?

Sounds like someone has been reading the politically correct guide to American History.

It actually exists and is being used in most college history classes:
A People’s History of the United States: 1492-Present by Howard Zinn

Well, not according to the history professors you will find in academia.
According to them, all American Indian tribes lived in harmony with each other and the land, never abused their own women (who were considered equals in the tribe, hence the great number of famous female Indian Chiefs)and rode Unicorns in the snow...
Couldn’t resist.

I lived on a reservation once in New Mexico.

It was good intentioned BIA people trying to help people
who had forgotten how to help themselves.

It was adult males taking their government
check and spending it on alcohol and prostitutes.

It was young school age children wearing only a sweater
when the weather was under 30 degrees.

It was a lot like the people in New Orleans expecting
the government to rescue them. Yet all they had
to do was get in their car (paid for by welfare
entitlements) and drive out of town to higher ground.
