It gets even more ironic when you consider both the natives and the Indo-Europeans share ancestry from the Ancient North Eurasians. This is kinda like a weird cultural family reunion where they're both accussing eachother of being violent war cultures. We both migrated from Siberia as violent warbands conquering and subjugating others. They (natives, Q haplogroup) went east, we (Indo-Europeans, R1 haplogroup) went west. We're fairly similiar, and the lands we now settle belonged to unique cultures who we replaced. Also, native tribes that are closer to the north are from later migrations, so they admixed with east asians and mongolics (thus why they have less prescence of the Q Y-DNA haplogroup than lower parts of the americas) before invading the americas that had direct ANE/ANS descent. So, yeah, the natives were kinda the direct opposite of a peaceful society; They had a violent warrior caste and raiding style of warfare that is pretty reminiscent of the Indo-European Kóryos tradition, which I personally speculate is as old as the ANE.

[@Teufer2]

Native Americans have pretty much the most white washed history in the world or at least of how is it taught here in Europe. We were taught already in Kindergarten of how the white man came to the Americas. Took their land and throwed them into reservations who tended to be the most baren land. What is of course certainly true. But no mention of the Native Americans fighting each other in brutal tribal warfare taking each others land, no mention that every healthy adult male was considered a warrior, basically being the most militarized society that ever existed, no mention that they practiced slavery, no mention of mutilating their defeated enemies corpses and decorate their homes and belts with their body parts to impress the ladies (basically wearing a scalp around your belt was equal to a military medal, it was to show of your capability as a warrior) no mention that they killed almost every single person in a defeated tribe, small children, men, the elderly except the non-pregnant young women (maybe the 8-12 year old children too were spared if they were lucky to be adopted into the tribe) and kept them as sex slaves, no mention of ritually torturing prisoners to death for hours or even days and in some tribes even ritual cannibalism was practiced. You should watch "How Hollywood stereotyped the Native Americans" on KZbin. Basically it's a video of how Hollywood negatively "stereotyped" the Native Americans in old Western movies. Of how the movies showed the Native Americans attacked settler caravens, attacked settlements and kidnapped people, executed people by burning the on the stake, while footage shows US Soldiers and Native Americans fighting inside a fort one of the commentars even said "they talk about (the moves) indian ferocity, they talk about Apache atrocities, historically it was quite the opposite, it was the Native Americans wo where overwhelmed by white population and settlement" So what does this mean? Apache didn't execute prisoners of war, scalped them and left their corpses to rot because they lost in the end? Did the Holocaust not happen because the Germans lost? Certainly those old western movies are quite biased on the view of the main characters who were white. But those this make it untrue? They did all this things mentioned in the movies. In fact they are probably depicted as more tame than it actualy was, if they would portray uncensored Native American warfare with of how they cut peoples, ears, nose, lips and eyelids of and buried them head deep to die by exposure or how they cut small parts of someones arm of, to cauterize the wound only to cut of another piece and than repeat the process, it would not even allowed to be aired at that time. Of how those movies are racist because they portray only the bad side of the Native Americans? Was torture and genocidal war all that Native American culture had to offer? Certainly not. But is it racist to present day Norwegians to portray Vikings as raiders and slave traders? Because that is what they did! I actually understand why the Native Americans protest those movies. Because they want to keep the current day view of Native Americans being the poor victims of European Imperialism. As a very small minority in the US they basically have no economical or political weight. Heavily relying on Native Americans Sympathizers helping them to ensure that their own interests are heard. To keep the the legend of the "Noble Savage" alive. Because if the view changes from "innocent victim" to "the Native Americans were as worse as the European Colonizers" could disillusion their Sympathizers and lose their already very limited political voice. It's still a shame though what happenend to the Native Americans in the end. A modern, independent Native American state were they kept their interesting culture and traditions but left their warlike nature behind would be a lovely place to go as a tourist. Like a post WW2 Japan.

@@TheZod00 Correct. The more southern american natives like the Mayans and Incans are mostly descendents from the first migrations east (there's many thousands of years and several ancestor cultures between them), making them the true natives of that land as far as I'm aware. The more northern parts of the americas are from later migratory warbands. Though, it's worth noting even those first peoples conquered eachother and made empires, as you'd expect from cultures with emphasis on warriors. Prehistory and early history is pretty fascinating.

First Nations did not own the land, they lived off of it. They didn’t have to pay taxes to a government. We just want our way of life back. Treaty 6, as well as the other numbered treaties, contained no provision compelling the First Nations to take reserves: these and other treaty provisions were meant to be in addition to the First Nations' usual way of life. First Nations were forced onto reserves for settler land claims. Search up the treaty 6 coin. Our tomahawk is in the ground, indicating that we wanted peace in those times. But the Canadian government wanted more land. Many of the plains nations fought back, to preserve their way of live. Canada is trying to make amends in this day and age. Maybe one day you can put yourself in our shoes and understand what it means to have your human rights and freedoms taken away. At the end of the day, we are all one people.

Why do I need to watch the entire movie? The scene is the point. It’s the point I’m making, that is, that it’s a concise, 4 minute, reality of the entirety of history. That’s what the title of the post indicates. I’m not advertising for a Hollywood film, I’m pointing out something concise and brilliant, as well as saying that even a broken clock displays the correct time twice a day.
