So much ignorance here. Has he not heard of Cahokia Mounds or Trail of Tears? My boy trump would never spew this kind of nonsense. Trump met with natives in Arizona (May 2020)
In fact, he's done the most for them compared to the last 40 years of presidents! Why is the GOP allowing these idiots to represent our base?

He's not wrong. The continental US was basically a blank slate, especially compared to other areas of the world that have been populated and civilized for centuries and there is very little Native American culture in the mainstream American culture then and now.

What influence did these things have on modern American culture? Santorum's quote may have been unwise but it was 100% accurate. Your post on the other hand...

You fell for the CRT people argument

Yes, because America was built on consumerism, land grabs. The US didn't consider Natives 'Americans' until 1924 despite being here for 10,000 years

Have you heard of the wheel? Well native Americans hadn't and it'd Bern around for thousands of years, so....

The whole world has been built on consumerism and land grabs.

frick him, but he was right in what he said
american indians were all about living in harmony with the land so they left little of their culture behind, it was all within the community and not something recorded or written down.
other then a sports teams mascot, can anyone really profess to know or understand the different indian cultures that existed here before the indians were wiped out?

MSNBC anchor Joy Reid slammed Santorum’s analysis, writing on Twitter, “And then they slaughtered the Natives, enslaved kidnapped Africans and as part of their ... Biblical?? religion, they burned people as 'witches'...”
Okay Joy, now do the population of Africa or any other part of the world. This false narrative that it was only the West that conquered other peoples and lands deserves to be mocked.

Neither of those things are anything other than an irrelevant footnote to the United States or its culture.

Good. They aren’t “native” to North America either. They walked here.

Where's the lie?
These savages did not have the wheel or written languages. They were 1,000 years or more from catching up to 1500's Europe.

You can’t drive 25 miles in many parts of Alabama without encountering an Indian name in a town or river.
Off the top of head, the following counties in Alabama were named after the place names of indigenous tribes: Autuga, Cherokee, Conecuh, Coosa, Etowah, Escambia, Mobile, Tallapoosa & Tuscaloosa.
Alabama itself is named for a tribe of the Muscogee Creek Confederacy.

As an American of Creek ancestry, I find this to be a really ignorant statement. Have you ever head of Moundville Alabama?
Though their societies were agriculturally based, the Native American tribes east of the Mississippi River had thriving, planned urban centers and established distant trade routes with like tribes across large portions of what is now the Southeastern United States well before the arrival of Europeans. Indeed, these tribes easily assimilated European-American cultural norms because of their long history of civilization and trade.

That started out because they were looking for a scapegoat for the Little Ice Age. fricking climate activists are the worst.

Yes. Indeed, peaceful trade IS the very essence of civilization and a hallmark of all civilized societies.
George Washington had tremendous admiration for the political and military organization of the so-called 5 Civilized Tribes and Thomas Jefferson’s ideal of an agricultural based society centered in trade was already evident with many of the existing tribes in what became the Southeastern United States. As our founding fathers knew, free trade is the wellspring of freedom itself.
