[QUOTE="Frederick, post: 3178901, member: 17825"] I agree 100%. We Americans like to turn them into brave, stoic heroes, tragic victims of the Big Bad White Man stealing their land from them for material gain. The reality, of course, is a lot murkier than that. It was a combination of the lack of technological and societal advancement, and the spread of diseases that the native americans had no defenses for. Native Americans have not 'owned' these lands for centuries, and although it is a story of tragedy, it is merely a continuation of the story of human civilization. Weaker nomadic tribes overtaken by a much more advanced and complex society. Remember reading about the Sacking of Rome by the Visigoths in school? Human beings for centuries have been displacing one another, and advancement of technology and society throwing out the old. Those times, for better or worse, are long gone. only memories, culture and stories remain. There's no going back. We should honour their culture. For a long time Americans have considered 'Native Americans' as a separate people, a separate nation. different from us. I think we should get rid of all this tribal nation ********, integrate the Native Americans into our society and institute programs to preserve their culture and history. Give them education and jobs. That's how you prosper. not living on some ****** reservation in the middle of Oklahoma. [/QUOTE]
