During my travels recently in the US, you see museums with Indian heritage, funny thing it only dates back 200 years. That would be since the white man came. Otherwise all they have to tell of before that is the Indian raped, pillage, and claimed war on other tribes.
Simon Fraser described them as a poor scraggly starving bunch with no ambitions.
If they were here thousands of years what the hell were they doing up until we came. They certainly did not keep any records of what, or how they lived, but claim a language!!! We did no more wrongs to them that what were put upon many people in past wars, land claims etc. What about the negro man, and how they were kidnapped and enslaved? Do you hear them whining.
We owe these people nothing. They do not want the land until it is developed, before that they wanted nothing but the continued hand out of our government, via the tax payer. Give them the land, but with no developement, and they do it themselves. Learn to earn! I a tired of these land claims, and hand outs. Time the Indian learned to be like the rest of us, do it yourself, earn it yourself, pay taxes, and get to work.
Just remember the Indian did not just sprout out of the dirt in America, they once came here as newcomers as well.
They had no desire to develope land or progress, but they sure as to hell want it now, now that it has.
