They lived in perfect peace and harmony, with open boarders and open arms.

Exactly the sort of article I’d expect to see in Popular Mechanics. Must liberals politicize every freaking aspect of life?

Those drunken savages traded this land for shiny beads and whiskey. It's mine now.

Come at me Tonto!

It's funny that the myth of the noble savage persists when any college freshmen English class requires you to read first hand accounts of natives raiding villages, murdering settlers, abducting women and children, enslaving their captors and so forth. 400 years of warfare is reduced to white man came across the sea, he brought us pain and misery, he killed our tribes he killed our creed, he took our game for his own need. Great song, a little lacking in historical detail and nuance.
