Different tribes probably had somewhat differing views on homosexuality and abortion, but I’ll bet none of them thought they were good things. Or maybe they did. That might explain why there were, by some estimates, as few as 7 million “indigenous” people-- in what is now the United States-- “before white people came to this land.” However, there were no Planned Parenthood clinics around at the time, nor any need for interior decorators, so I doubt this was the case.

The perpetual myth of the “noble savage”.

You suppose but you do not know. It’s just your opinion and we know what that is worth.

Just another guilt-ridden “white supremicist” ... and, because he’s obsessed with race, a raving, dedicated racist who should be called out for his blatant racism.

Yikes , indians slaughtered each other for hundreds of years before white folks arrived. They continued their nomadic savagery for hundreds of years after the white men arrived. It was the white man who brought innovation and civilization to the nation. Sorry.

Am I missing something? If life is so horrible for these “woke” people, what’s keeping them from “easing the pain” by killing themselves? ? ?

Not advocating, just asking . . .

LOL. Does Moya-Smith know that those noble savages used to raid neighboring tribes for women and then rape them or force them to be the conquiring tribe’s wives (a/k/a slaves)? And that they killed the kids who could not be made to work?

Btw, never trust a dude with a hyphenated last name unless both of the names are Latino.

What does this retarded college diploma holder know? He doesn’t look that old and just from his mug, I can tell the boy never read a history book in his life. He reminds me of the “Hot Chocolate In Pajamas Boy” who was so popular with the far left at one time. Sorry sonny. Those white people put the American flag on the moon. KMA moron.

“Before white people came to this land, there were no jails, no homelessness, no laws against homosexuality or abortion”

That’s is without a doubt THE absolute dumbest thing I’ve heard in a long long time.

Odd that the author never mentioned how the Aztecs enslaved neighboring tribes and cut the hearts out of living captives.

Maybe he’ll cover that in his next article.

I guess this fellow doesn’t realize that Dances with Wolves was fiction, not a documentary.

PS - tepees were only used by some western nomadic tribes. In most other areas the indigenous people who established permanent or seasonal communities lived in long houses or bark huts.

Before White people came to this land - there was no electricity - or air conditioning, cars, jet airplanes, first world medicine, TVs, cell phones, clean water - and all the other comforts of life this idiot enjoys.

She needs to give up everything White people have created given to the world - and go back to cold and dark “native ways” - and hope they don’t kill her in many of their inter tribal wars.

He has no idea of the fighting between tribes and the brutality. He also doesn’t seem to understand that many tribes were nomadic, taking from the land and resources and then moving on to another pasture then coming back later to reap again from the environment that tried to recover.
