NBC News contributing “journalist” Simon Moya-Smith, 39, who is also a lecturer at the University of Colorado at Denver, recently put out the following tweet:
“Before white people came to this land, there were no jails, no homelessness, no laws against homosexuality or abortion. For thousands of years, Indigenous peoples emphasized health, housing, freedom to love who you love and the fact that we need Mother Earth. She doesn’t need us.”

This is an example of what we call “fake news.”
There may have been a dearth of jails, but prisoners of war could be captured, tortured, enslaved, or killed. Some tribes had “Blood Laws,” which referred to the widespread practice, particularly in the southeast, of revenge killing. Under this system, when someone killed a member of a particular clan, people from the offending clan had to kill one of their own to balance things out. (I’m guessing there was much debate about whom to sacrifice, not least amongst those who were in consideration.)
Some tribes were nomadic, but others lived in tepees. Tepees were made of animal skins and/or blankets wrapped around wooden poles and were typically about 10 feet in diameter. No doubt, a man’s tepee was his castle.

Is he aware the Indigenous peoples practiced slavery???
Well, they ran move of them over cliffs than we did.
Several of my ancestors from Royalton and Sharon, Vermont were captured by St. Francis Indians from Quebec, marched to Quebec, and either kept as slaves or sold to the French as slaves.
BTW the author should interview an Erie Indian on this topic.
Oh wait! You can't the Iroquois confederation wiped them all from the face of the earth.
The Eries were afraid of the new confederation, so attacked them, twice. The second time the Iroquois had enough and finished them all off.
Let’s be really honest. This journalist wouldn’t survive one day without supermarkets and latte stands
One reason there were no prisons may be due to the willingness to use capital punishment. Could we have that same sort of paradise today if we eliminated prisons in exchange for capital punishment for all violent felons?
Trying to post lots of links but I keep getting a 404 file not found. I will post them one at time. It appears there is a general “cleanup”(coverup) of American Indian history on the internet. Lots of really good info over the years has disappeared.

No, let’s be REALLY, REALLY honest: this “Native American” would probably faint during a Cowboy-Indian movie!
Bwahahahaha
One of the reasons we call them savages: they were masters of torture, especially of babies.
They lived off the land. No industry. No need for wheel.
What the heck they need a wheel for?
Take your wheelbarrow out in the bush. See how far you get.
The land of milk and honey with only native tribes around? This person is insane. And racist.
“Before white people came to this land, there were no jails, no homelessness, no laws against homosexuality or abortion.”
There were also no schools, no hospitals, no roads, no fire departments, no libraries, and no welfare.
They don’t even have to go that far. There are still places in the world untouched by white people, where they can go live their best paradisiacal life. The interior of the Amazon, or the jungles of Borneo, or New Guinea, for example. Go, craft yourself some spears, weave a grass skirt, and be free!
If you actually looked into it, you would find that indigenous people actually possessed remarkable ingenuity to deal with their environment.
Why has this kid has not had his ass totally kicked in?
As someone with a lifelong interest in pre-columbian and paleo-indians in the southeastern US, she obviously is not aware of the slavery and ritual cannibalism that was practiced up and down the east coast. It wasn’t just the Aztecs, they just practiced it on a giant scale. Any of you who were stationed at Fort Benning were probably warned about not taking arrowheads or other objects you might have come across while enjoying the fields and forests on a balmy July afternoon. There used to be a city of about 100,000 to 250,000 people who had rituals not dissimilar to the Mexicans of the same period. There is evidence of trade and ideas flowing out of and into Mexico during this period all across what is now The United States of America.
I like to point out that while the left is always fond of disparaging the era the Holy Scriptures were written in as "Bronze Age superstition," they'll venerate a STONE AGE culture which characterized the indigenous people prior to European discovery.
Ms. Simon Moya-Smith calls itself a "journalist" but working for NBC means it's nothing but a propagandist.
Ms. Simon Moya-Smith is more than welcome to live in one of the few remaining places on the planet where primitive indigenous people live. Let it see the idyllic life among savages who still practice slavery and cannibalism. Savages don't need jails since they simply kill offenders, everyone's basically homeless, and there's only a few primitive laws to worry about if any at all.
He probably took hos wife’s boyfriend’s last name
Maybe he can go to Sentinel Island and commune with its peaceable primitives. It will be the greatest five seconds he ever had before he is killed.
