Silliness.
Indians lost, they were an inferior culture.

Now, if they want to talk about the continuing mistreatment of Indians by the US government, they have a legitmate point. The US government has implemented a form of socialism on the Indians that has left many of them in a stupor of poverty and addiction.

Look to the Indian reservations for an insight into the future of America’s general population.

“Indians lost, they were an inferior culture.”

All of them? Are you judging ‘inferior’ because of education,
Christian religion, civility, constitutional government?
Because before removal some Indians had attained all that, but it didn’t stop their removal.

If you knew the amount of your tax money that goes to support these reservations, you would blanch. They get free this, free that, pay no taxes, and it goes on and on.

If you knew the amount of corruption that exists in the Indian community among the Indian leaders, again you would blanch.

Yep. Europeans replaced a culture where the guys hunted and fished, raided the neighbors for brides (and horses, later), and the women cleaned the game, prepared meals, tanned the hides, sewed, packed the lodge, unpacked the lodge and set it up...

You might rethink that a little...

So why is it that so many Indians who don’t live on reservations have a problem with poverty and addiction? Why is it some other Indians are rich.

I used to shoe horses around Tulsa, Ok many years ago. We would go out to a fancy ranch and some old Indian cowboy man would greet us and show us the horses to shoe. We were surprised this old Indian cowboy was the Owner of the ranch!
