Been watching "Dances With Wolves" too many times?

Guilty as charged, you Honor. When it is on it is difficult to turn the channel.

It is actually a very well done movie. I also watch when it comes on. Interesting as I told others on another thread, the great plains Sioux were the least of the settlers problems for many years.

Like in the movie, Pawnee and other tibes were just blood-thirsty and were intolerant of other tribes. Pick your Indian.

But yet, they are all the "noble" peoples of America as recently portrayed in movies, while they murdered, butchered, raped, enslaved their neighboring tribes. While they often got a bad deal from the then US Fedgov (who doesn't), they were simple savages who couldn't progress from the stone age.

But they got casinos.
