So much for the belief that all Indians were noble people above committing atrocities.

They also were slave owners, enslaving other tribes and weren’t above stampeding herds of buffalo over a cliff to harvest meat and hides more easily. But above all else you must remember only the White man is guilty of murder, slavery and raping the land.

A preacher tried to convince me that the Indiginous Tribes never went to war among themselves. When they had a conflict, they would mock fight and a tap on the head was a “kill.”

He also claimed they were very cautious when hunting and wasted nothing. I got him to grudgingly back off of that one by explaining “Buffalo Jump” Montana. He still wouldn’t admit what ogrish things the tribes did to each other.

the moderate indians should speak out against these radical indians

But then, hey look at the U.S Calvary and the federalized Colorado Volunteers in Chivington. Or what do Sand Creek and the Washita River mean to the Cheyennes?

Sadly, such atrocities were the norm in the Indian wars. If you were captured by a hostile tribe (didn't matter whether you were white or another indian), you could count on being brutally tortured, often to death.

Such activity predated European settlement as well.

I had an argument with an Indian in a casino about how the Indians really were.
People present the American Indian as some kind of Peaceful, Green,
Tree loving hippie roaming their back yards picking flowers for their hair.
