The author seems to contradict himself.
Twenty thousand - thirty thousand? - years of constant internecine warfare. And not even the wheel to be shown for it.

Here in Connecticut the history of the Pequots says the tribe was essentially wiped out during the Pequot war somewhere around 1740 with the survivors being sold as slaves to the Seminoles.
Magically, legalized Indian gaming resurrected the tribe in the 1980s The Mohicans followed a few years later but the Golden Hills Pagusetts couldn’t quite get it together.
You mean they weren’t all peaceful innocent noble savages?
True. No significant contributions to advancing society.
The Hurons were certainly hated by the Ojibwa. In fact, the Huron’s name for themselves was “Wendat” or Wyandotte. The name “Huron” was what their enemies called them, and it essentially means “slob”.

Well, thanks for that ear worm. The theme song for F Troop will be with me for quite awhile now.

“Many historians debate whether the Comanche deserve their ferocious reputation.”
Total 100% USDA Prime, gold plated bullshit.
An Algonquin woman told a Dutch West India company man about the Iroquois. She said, “ Not men! They are wolves!”
Yep
One of the American soldiers who raised the Flag on Iwo Jima was a Pima Indian from Arizona. Marine Ira Hayes, 22 years old WWll.
The Comanchees were vicous.
Hmmm...
I thought the Indians were driven off the continent, by the white devils, and ended up in SE Asia between Pakistan and China...
Unfortunately, once there, they had to deal with the Mongols...
a show that was ahead of it’s time! ;-)
Leisure
Edit
One of the more common activities of leisure for the Lenni Lenape would be the game of pahsaheman: a football-like hybrid, split on gender lines. Over a hundred players were grouped into gendered teams (male and female), and would attempt to get a ball through the other team’s goal post. However, men could not carry and pass the ball, only using their feet, while the women could carry, pass, or kick.[28] If the ball was picked up by a woman, she could not be tackled by the men, although men could attempt to dislodge the ball. Women were free to tackle the men.[44] These gender-split rules highlight how a woman’s role in Lenape society was harmonious to a man’s role, rather than acquiescent.
Another activity common was that of dance, and yet again, gender differences appear: men would dance and leap loudly, often with bear claw accessories, while women, wearing little thimbles or bells, would dance more modestly, stepping “one foot after the other slightly forwards then backwards, yet so as to advance gradually.
Not kumbaya.
Remember Ethel Merman singing:
Like the Seminole, Navajo, Kickapoo
Like those Indians
I’m an Indian too
A Sioux, a Sioux
Just like Battle Axe, Hatchet Face, Eagle Nose
Like those Indians
I’m an Indian too
A Sioux, a Sioux
Some Indian summer’s day
Without a sound
I may hide away
With Big Chief Hole-in-the-Ground
And I’ll have totem poles, tomahawks,
Which will go to prove
I’m an Indian too
A Sioux, a Sioux
With my chief in his teepee
We’ll raise an Indian family
And I’ll be busy night and day
Looking like a flour sack
With two papooses on my back
And three papooses on the way
On the west coast, the Kwakiutl (Kwakwa̱ka̱ʼwakw) in Haida G’Wai (Queen Charlotte Islands) were rampant slavers, raiding neighboring tribes regularly before the Europeans came.
But what about the pre-civilization utopia that the self-hating whites are always telling us about?
For a movie depiction that seems realistic enough to make liberals cry, check out the 1991 Canadian movie, Black Robe:
