If you can ever find one of the National Geographic books on North American Indians which was published Circa 1985 or earlier, you would do yourself and future generations a big favor to buy it and ensure it is preserved.

Indeed, I say this as a Native American myself who is appalled at how much of our history has been dropped into a "memory hole" in just the last generation or so. Some tribes were actually more civilized than our white counterparts, but not all of them were. The Aztecs were one of the worst even though they had the trappings of civilization like great public works.

Did you ever read George Orwell's epic novel 1984? I say we are living it now, even more than we are Atlas Shrugged.

Are you talking about the hardcover books Nat Geo sold? If so, my father used to buy them regularly. It was akin to a subscription. I used to use them for my school work. He may still have the ones you’re talking about if so.

Thanks for the tip on the NG books, will keep an eye out for them at yardsales.

It’s a shame that history is being whitewashed or altogether erased in the name of PC.

Yes and yes.
