Native Americans were not %26quot;saints%26quot; Many were savages that killed others and sacrificed people. Then they also were very primitive. So, when the Europeans came, they saw them as savages, and with superior European technology and perhaps some diseases that the indians could not resist, the Europeans took over the new world. Sure the indians were treated badly at times, but at least today we have given them reservations, free medical care, free education, and opportunities to better their lives. The world changes as technology and ideas advance. The natives need to understand this today too and not harp on the past. In any event, the indians do have better lives today then 100-200 years ago. Hopefully we have all progressed in the new world. Unfortunately, other parts of the world are not as progressive.
Were American Indians just savages Europeans conquered?
savages to others but to their own believes? noooooooo they we're raised that way! is it wrong of them to kill? yes!! but do they know? not really... now is it wrong to kill others yes. if they kill others is it wrong kill in revenges? yes but does anyone listen no!!!!!!!!!!!!
Were American Indians just savages Europeans conquered?
I don't agree with any of this. I think it's racial bigotry.
Indians did not sacrifice people. They had just as much belief in their God and Godess as a Christian and were very peaceful toward others of their religion. Not many were saints either though. They were just as you are except they spoke and believed differently. The sacrifices you hear about are stories to scare people to help them get rid of the Native Americans and to steal their land. Thsi is just an opinion, but Christians are close minded sometimes and want all others to be of the same religion. If they had left the Indians alone no one would have been hurt. But it didnt end up that way.
Hope this helps
The savages came from Europe and were usually Christian. Face it, the whites stole their land and ruined their culture. We are still ruining it. We have never offered to better thier lives, we have only offered them to live like white people. That is no advancement.
Oh get real. Who were the %26quot;savages%26quot; in this case?
Do some research, you would be appalled at what was done to the first nations people by Europeans.
Europeans had a might %26quot;savage%26quot; past themselves.
No you did not. You really do know nothing... Hmm...let's see... The Europeans %26quot;conquered%26quot; them as you say, gave them sicknesses, encouraged people to kill them, offered money to some that did, tried to force them to give up their whole culture and ways of life, stole their children away and put them in religion based boarding schools where many were abused, occasionally even resulting in death, if they even dared to speak their own language or practice their own culture, many kids were also sexually abused at those schools, and many never saw their family ever again. Their people received random unprovoked attacks where people died trying to protect their families and friends. Forced onto the most inhabitable piece of land that the whites decided they didn't want. AND SO ON.
WHO were the %26quot;savages%26quot;??
And all these %26quot;free%26quot; benefits that a SMALL PERCENT receive today is CRAP and amounts to basically nothing worthwhile.
While some OLDER ancient civilizations in the far south %26quot;may%26quot; (or may not) have had human sacrifices (oh, as if your religion never did), 99.99999999% did NOT sacrifice people. And just as much of their fighting had to do with protecting their resources to survive, not about simply HATE like whites introduced.
Yup...someone's grandma living in a tiny shack with no insulation in the middle of winter, with her kerosene to keep warm just about gone, and her food supply just the same, and no money or way to even go get more...oh yeah, that's better. There are lots of people who live like that. And they'd have lived a lot warmer and better if they got to live generations ago. Some of those reservations are like third world countries. You call that better today? Even if YOU think %26quot;technology%26quot; magically makes things %26quot;better,%26quot; it does not change a damn thing and in reality some things worse.
They were the only people ever to live on this land to know TRUE FREEDOM. And you know not a damn thing. Stop believing your own assumptions and go talk to those who live those lives.
Alright, here we go you racist yonega! None of us EVER sacrifised people. We were not savages, we just know that a simple life is better than the white man's life. You think yall did us a FAVOR!? You are sadly dissalusioned and mistaken, my friend. Your people murdered, and literally SLAUGHTERED us like cows. CUT US UP, and stretched body parts across saddles and hats. Dont you EVER say that you did us a favor, EVER! You did not PROGRESS our existance. Our lives are not better now, they are too quick and complicated. If we dont have a card, we get arrested for our religions. I envy those in Africa who's ways have not changed much, they are still with mother earth, instead of whites separating them from her. There is nothing i can call you, because anything i can think of will be too good for you.
