I don't have any white guilt. Indians were waring with each - other before Europeans ever Posted: Jul 6th, 2020 - 2:45 pm In Reply to: Derp...that's what happens when you steal land - From indigenous populations
arrived. Indian tribes were routing and killing, raping and enslaving various other Indian tribes for all the time before Europeans ever arrived here. Everyone likes to talk about how Europeans yet they forget to realize just how cruel the natives were to other natives. You know why some tribes scalped enemies? To prove how many they truly killed. You know what Europeans did? They beat the natives at their own game.
Go to Northern Arizona sometime and ask a Hopi what he/she thinks of the Navajo, and why, and you'll get an earful. But I guess it's chic to blame everything on America.
And one last detail: Years ago, my husband worked for a guy named White Cloud, ans yes that was really his name and he was a full-blooded Crow Indian. He left the reservation in Oklahoma when he was a young man and went to work in the outside world. It was HIS OPINION that the people who sat on the Rez complaining about history were losers. He and his two sons were all eligible for free housing and health care if they moved back to Oklahoma, but they were all three clear they would never consider it.
