They were hard people living in a hard land. I don’t hate them, and I don’t feel sorry for them. In the words of the great philosopher, Captain Ron, “Yeah, we’ll s**t happens.”
When we get down to the truth, the American Indians were a relatively small group of primitive people, who like all primitive peoples had to eventually give way to a stronger, superior culture. There's no way in the modern world the Indians, like all primitive peoples around the world, could keep living the same lives as they had for thousands of years. I don't blame the Indians for fighting back, I'd have done the same. But the life of wandering the plains and hunting the buffalo was doomed as soon as the first white settlers set foot on the continent. All primitive cultures either adapt to modernity or perish.
