Oh yah! Oh Yah! Haven't heard of violence among the native tribes in at least a hundred years whereas violence amongst Europeans has yet to be brought to an end.

You've obviously never been to a hockey game between the Blackfoot and the Cree, or been in some of the prairie cities where gangs are based along tribal lines. Just keep thinking everything is sweat lodges and medicine circles out on the eastern fringe of Canada.

And you Europeans could not and would not have made it through your first winter . So please don,t give me the European God Argument . Face it the natives had a culture which most chose to ignore and just put theres in its place . Someone else brought up disease well the natives knew nothing of Tuberculosis till the arrival of the Europeans.
And to the person before me you fail to see something they did not have to have beast of burden as they just went out and got what they needed. The tribes lived where the food was and to have to haul baggage was not very wise , unlike the euripeans. Who had the compass telescope and all the other useless documents to tell people they were the new lanlords. Also if you remember most of the crops you brought from europe failed. Funny then most had to go to the natives for survival . Suggest you go re read your history from some real sources not what you learned from school .

Sure, they had a tough start, but they came through and took over. Thanks for the help.

From the look of things, it doesn't seem like you're too familiar with subjects that are taught in school and are therefore unqualified to comment on them.

I'm afraid Old Chum is only useful for chumming the waters.

Yes as peacefull as Europe , where all the nature had been exploted, gone and killed.

hey friend, the Natives were just as brutal as the Europeans, so please stow the "holier than thou" shit. We came here, we got along for the most part, but there were some war, most of which the European colonists won, we signed treaties with the Natives, perhaps some of the treaties were less than fair, but buddy, you were not there to be offended, neither were we there to give the offence, so please your racist comments are not welcome. If you can carry this conversation with a modicum of civility and respect for others than perhaps this could be a constructive discussion, if not, then do your self a favor, and delete your account, because you will either get banned or these boys on this site will eat you alive.
