Would anyone happen to know some good reading materials or research that points out that the Nobel savage veiwpoint of the Indians in the US and Canada is a farce? I know they practiced slavery, scalped people, attacked women and children etc. But I dont know where to get started.

Reason I ask is that some members of my family need a crash course on this and buy into all mainstream BS.

Lizard folk lore from DND is basically the native tribes history.

A sentient race with a focus on a warrior-hunter/gatherer society. They have an affinity for their own tribe and refuse to band together to form mass armies. They have major differences and wars between tribes constantly. They promote aggression and condemn intelligence. The intelligent lizard folk are ostracized or made into shaman, who aren’t allowed to reproduce, not that any female would, because thinking is viewed as a hinderance to hunting and breeding, which require little thought.

I could go on, but I won’t.

Another case of nigger style inferior DNA. No matter the environment, they are and always will remain nothing more than savage bark-niggers.

You're not thinking about native americans the right way.

They weren't one large somewhat-unified bloc like Europeans were. They were more like Europeans of a few hundred years earlier - fairly isolated nations made of confederations of separate states within them. Not only were there spats and little coordination between the "states", but the larger nations rarely communicated much outside of war demands. They wouldn't even have known there was a different coast a couple thousand miles away, let alone that other white men were landing there.

They also did not see white man as a single force with a single goal (even though they weren't, that's effectively how it came out). They would have usually seen them as another neighboring tribe/state/nation with better tools and weapons.

So it's not like there was some continental fellowship of native americans who got together and decided to keep fighting each other instead of the white man. And that might be something to think about how you could apply to politics today too...

It is very frustrating. But hindsight is 20/20.

Exactly right... they were hundreds of tribes, some friendly to one another some hostile to one another. Some more advanced than others, others still practised cannibalism. They had no math, no architecture, no roads, no buildings, no agriculture.. and no horses until the Euros gave them horses. They were stone aged hunter gatherers living in large family tribes, like the abbos and the africans.

They were perhaps "assholes" by your standards. But anthropologically speaking they were just savages. Vicious hunter gatherers. Slightly more advanced than the african natives. But at the end of the day both groups are hitting small animals with sticks to get food.

They hunted Bison , Elk , and other large animals.

They were savages yet they did have some culture and the ability to plan ahead, unlike niggers

More advanced than africans, but still a stone age culture.

They didnt have large beasts of burden or a huge variety of grains. City life under those circumstances was brutal for normal people. I could see people abandoning Mayan style city life for a simpler hunter gatherer lifestyle. The main problems their culture faces is the same as any other minority. Dependency(tribal and government handouts) and addiction issues.

The "native american" story is fake his-story. Theyre phonies.

When was the last time you saw a "native" grow their own food, ride horses, etc? Only a handful of them who want to play the part will show any interest in their fake culture. Most natives are obese drug addicts who couldnt ride a horse if they wanted to.
