@@STLCODPS3123 "their fellow Africans who sold them into slavery …" That is true, but beside the point. Slavery is bad no matter who does it. I would add that exactly how much it sucks to be a slave depends more on who the buyer is than who the seller is. Still, both the buyer and the seller are wrong.

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

As a professional whose work life revolves around lewis & Clark and the corps of discovery, I love this skit! Interpretive education can actually be nearly this awful irl - it's funny because they've done everything wrong. And because in reality, the tribes were practicing sophisticated governance, diplomacy, & trade - Lewis and Clark really were bumbling fools compared to the people they met. The tribes did not prioritize technology or mass production, so they didn't seem indistrialized, but the north Americans were incredibly advanced in all types of communication and relationship building. Many practiced a stable form of representative republic/democracy long, long, long before europeans...their national governing councils often practiced *consensus decision making,* which is incredibly difficult. Btw, "prostitution" was arranged throughout the journey, but the native nations varied greatly in how much they put up with that. "Sakajo" didn't join the group til 1804 tho, had a husband with her already, and spoke multiple languages fluently.

[@henryjoshual1848]

you speak revisionist nonsense. those tribes were extremely primitive and constantly warred with eachother and enslaved women. They did have informal trade federations, and they traded in women and any other commodity they could steal or plunder. No hygiene, no farming, no civilization....and absolutely NO democracy, that's an absolute lie......

[@Glum1964]

Cool. Thanks
