Woman With Her Child In A Cradle American Indian 1834 By George Catlin ...

Maybe not those colors exactly, but they were colorful just the same, depending on what dyes were available to them locally.

Personally, I think General Sherman had the right idea. Shouldn’t he have a statue erected in Hot’lanta?

(Maybe “Hot’lanta” was a poor choice of words....)

Oh. I get it. Native Americans paraded around almost naked all the time. Didn’t care about winter and insects and stuff.

As compared to the Ute Indian statue in front of the Utah State Capitol?

Looks like he had a gym membership. Here's a photo from Brazil of a native who has no contact with civilization:

The statue has scary eyes, and the lower right forearm seems abnormally twisted. Plus, it seems the artist gave the guy a six-pack but got tired on his way up the chest and ended with cellulite under the pecs and syringe engravings around the neck.

Worst. Statue. Ever.

It should not tower over MLK because the founder of Georgia Was MLK! He was enslaved at the time and led his people in the struggle to free them from white capitalism. (/liberal)

“It should not tower over MLK because the founder of Georgia...”

Or, Stacy Abrams. Imagine a statue of Stacy Abrams on a 110’ pedestal towering over Atlanta!

Mechanical problem associated with that idea. Put in a pedestal and mount a statue of her on top and you have a severe lever arm problem when the wind blows. And something that large would probably cause a seismic event if it ever blew over.
