Joe Rogan said something really intelligent on his podcast about Indians

Most schools aren’t hardly teaching Math and English. At least not to the level of difficultly needed.

Why is this significant piece of our shared history left out of public high school social studies classes? Color me stumped!

Are there social studies classes anymore?

What do we know about them? They were warring with each other? They killed and took hostages? What of significance did they do? Tribes over running other tribes?

They are usually taught in state specific history classes. Mississippi Studies/ Louisiana Studies but due to state test and preparing kids for the test, those classes are shoved back to 8th grade and forgotten about.

Rogan is a leftist idiot. I can’t wait to see how much he gets booed since Trump called his liberal arse out.

It's not really that significant. Relatively speaking they had a very small population and were slowly pushed out of the way of Americans over the course of a few centuries through force, peaceful agreements, and renegging on those peaceful agreements and using force.

This same story has played out literally throughout all of history, usually with much more dramatic battles.

I don't say this to insult the Native Americans. But people talk about "stolen land" and that's a bit absurd. They were very small tribes that roamed around the same general areas, and other tribes tended to respect those approximate boundaries. When they did cross paths, they'd brutally murder each other and the loser would walk the other direction. If you think about it, it's truly amazing that they existed this way for tens of thousands of years and barely grew their population and never really evolved their way of life.

Stone age people without writing.
There's not much to study.

(Assuming you're talking about feather - not dot Indians)

Louisiana history is full of Indians, each state is different but the didn't doo what came natural and let the Europeans settle and then they were in total conquered and eliminated.
This is a lesson that is needed to be learned fron the invasion from the south. The past is doomed to repeat it self.
Also 15 million is way more then the Europeans took over with.

Been a long time since I was in K-12, but I remember it being a pretty big part of the history we were taught.

I enjoy reading about the Comanches in TX between the 1820’s and 1880’s. The more you learn about them, however, you realize pretty fast you would have to omit a lot for school kids. They were pretty brutal, but they believed in equity. They would rape and skin you regardless of whether you were white, black, brown, or even other Indian tribe.
