Please stop. There are many survivors of this battle between settlers, governments, cowboys, and native tribes. Mormons are surviors of the same attacks and friends of many native tribes, yet certain tribes still want to hold fabrications as truth about them. Same with the orgeon trails. Same with reservations. Truth is we dont know the full scale wrong that was done to everyone at that time. Settlers wanted to settle and natives said no and became a threat to the people and the government. The government saw it as a declaration when it could been a lot more peacefull if fully understood. But the government was getting powerful and wanted to show its ability to control the situation to other nations that were causing wars and messing with american goods. The government wanted to appear as a dont f with me power and this from the natives was easily misunderstood and they became a target. Then with the violence of the civil war giving birth to Cowboys who were generally most often violent jerks who roamed the world in search of victims because either they liked war, felt wronged by the government for getting involved or who saw the world as a being who owed them their entitlement. Pioneers and settlers were settlers who were also individuals just as natives are individuals even in their own tribes and individuals have a way of hating each other for any reason and not every story that gets told about individuals is true, kind, or even helpful. Lots of people miscommunicate and it seemed at that time there was a lot of it going on for people who became both villainized and martyred. History isnt there for people to like but its hard when people either dont understand or lie about it and there was a lot of that on every side. I mean for goodness sake we still do it every day! But yes many of us want peacefull relations and to better understand each other. But to do that we need to stop finding ways to lump each other into groups of villains. I know there's a lot of stupid entitled bratty white people who give me a bad name just as there are some entitled bratty other people be they white, brown, black, or yellow (insensitive term to lump together asians italians and espania people together). If you want to be offened you will be and theres no one who can stop you because youre an individual who cant see individuals anymore than any individual normally does

Yup🤔 When researching my genealogy, I discovered I am basically "3/16" Mohegan (from the 2 "sister tribes" out of CT & PA); so I did MORE digging. A "Native American Historical Preservationist of Indigenous People" originally from The Mohawk Tribe (& known as one of "the last shaman") helped me piece the puzzle together. I met with people from The Mohegan Sun & even did further research. My Irish immigrant ancestors (O'mulRyan's & Moore's) sought protection from NYC authorities [they were escaped "indentured servants"; OR better described as SLAVES) & found it with the Mohegan Tribes. It's a long story...I could expound more about what I learned; but it's a "novel"🤔
