It was a golden age. Nothing to do by hunt stupid big game and make babies for a couple of hundred years.
OLD CHESTNUT:
Man from Government talking to Indian and promising a ‘better’ life if they voluntarily move to the newly formed ‘Reservations’
Tonto stroked his chin and said...
“Let me see, I sleep till nine wake up to meal that woman cooked. Dress in clothes that woman made and keeps clean, go out and fish for a while, bring catch home, woman clean, take nap, eat meal that woman fix, then go hunting for a while. Catch me some game, bring it home, woman clean game, woman store game for later, fixes me meal, I have my pick of young ladies then go to sleep.
Next day the same, then the same etc etc-
NOW, tell me how you are going to make things better?”
