History is always written by the victor. Some famous dead Greek guy said that. But this Indian thing is a complicated issue. Hard to characterize so many different tribes, but I think it's fair in general to say that they were neither all Noble Savages or Bloodthirsty Redskins. They were one of history's best examples of what happens when you're in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Truedog, reading that book would only give me more history of white/indian not indian/indian is that not correct? I am not disagreeing that the American Indians were blindsided by the white man, but from what I see on the web they were not all just farmers to begin with. They to had their good and bad, their "border" wars, provision wars , what ever you want to call them. That was my point. I was not seeking to justify how they were treated. I know how they were literally destroyed in the past. I also find it interesting that our leader was at a reservation today. Is he still legacy building? If I was any of the Indian leaders I would be getting all I could get while he is in this mode. wire.ap.org I am going to go to a Cherokee National Holiday(as a tourist) in Tahlequah Ok. in Sept. Tahlequah is the Capital of the Cherokee Nation. Among the many things to see, I hope to be able to see the State of the Nation Address. I am not sure if the address is reserved for Cherokee or whether the public is invited, but it should be very interesting to say the least.
